I still do the same, IE spray and pray and then delete dups. Ironically I still use DPP4 to tag the keepers with R+J combined view. If DPP4 or DPP5 whenever it comes out could sort by orientation, which they could accomplish by 6000x4000 vs 4000x6000, I might still be doing it, but sorting and then resorting and retagging is tedious vs just tag the winners with no batch processing.

If you batch a bunch of landscape and portrait orientations with the desire to resize to 6MP for say your MacBook Pro Retina 15", which caps out at 2880x1800 anyways, yeah, pain to do in DPP4. S1 JPG does it for me. Yay.

I gather that Lightroom takes care of sizing the images being edited for the screen they are on.  The idea I think is to not render more detail than the screen can use to speed things up.

BUT, what I really want in Lightroom, is a button to click that, when I put two images up side by side, will tell me which one is sharpest and where.  I now have to zoom in to 1:1, which takes some time, and switch from my computer glasses to my reading glasses and lean in to make the assessment.  I know, anal.  I only do this for my best shots.   PS can do focus stacking, so the technology is at hand.  This alone would save me a lot of time wading through insurance shots.
