I go through all my imported photos after copied from card. Then, tag it as "pick" if I like the photo. I want to somehow distinguish those pictures that I "picked" and those I want to print and post to web.

Currently, I'm using "pick" to tag photo that I like and "reject" for really bad one. Then use red label for web export.
Now, I want to have a set of photos for prints which are not the same as web or "pick". Since I can't select multiple color label, I can use only one color. I'm thinking about using green label for all prints and red for web. Most likely, my prints will be a subset of web. So, when I want to export to web, I choose both red and green for my filter. The limitation is my prints have to be a subset of my webs

Do you have a better way to manager this?
I really appreciate your help!!!
thanks

Why not use the star ratings?

My problem is some of those picture I want to print is not even 1 star quality but fun to include in an album for friends and families to see.

So why not use a Collection, then rate images based on whether they are for print or web display?

Labels work really well for outputting. If you later want to use the labels for something else, you can always select all of the images in each label colour, and add them to a collection or assign them a keyword instead.
