Work queues specify a collection of images that are related to each other in some fashion. They provide a means to organize and sort images, particularly if the related images are scattered among numerous source directories on the file system. When an image is added to a work queue, it is not moved or copied from its original directory.

For example, the images added to a work queue can be associated with a particular project or client. It is also convenient to set up work queues if certain images require similar editing settings. There are numerous reasons to create a work queue. The primary benefit to adding images to work queues is that they make it easier to organize, edit, and process related images.

Work queues organize related images that are stored in different directories (even if they have the same file names or were generated from different cameras). For example, suppose you are working on a project where the raw image files are stored in several different directories (and some have the same names due to the camera's file naming conventions). A work queue enables you to view, edit, and process images from these directories simultaneously. You can create a work queue, associate a hot key with the queue, and then select images and add them to the work queue by pressing the hot key on your keyboard.

You can set up multiple work queues to stage or sort work that is in progress. Depending on the state of the image, it can be moved to a different work queue (without moving the original file).
