Why do you want 2000+ photos?
Did you really look at every single one and thought "This is a keeper." ?

I'm willing to bet if you pick 10 of those 2000 you'd get more than a better idea of the trip.

I'm now digging through 4.5k photos from a vacation and after the first pass I have about 10% selected. Not all of them are fantastic, just poo poo like the Trevi Fountain being just a flood of tourists resulting in pretty boring shots, but what you're gonna do. Especially on this trip, where I've been on three continents, I can't really choose just 10 and have them be representative of anything. Still, I'll probably do another pass and keep 10% that have the most artistic value as for prints and stuff.

Speaking of which, is there any way to filter for photos that have been modified since last export? I already exported this first batch as jpegs but then went back to fix a few photos. I could do the whole batch of course but it would be nicer if there was a way to just update the handful that is actually needed.

I too use IrfanView but mostly just for the first round of purging the undesirables. It's definitely faster than importing everything into LR first. But once the obvious crap is gone, I find that LR provides much better tools for pruning it further, so I can mark some candidates for keeping and deleting and then go thorough them a few times before making the final decision.

Is this him? Seems to be pretty spot on.
