Lightroom: Exporting Stars On Pictures Help?

When I show pictures to my clients, I show them ranked, with 5 stars being photographer's pick, and 1 star pictures being pictures I don't really like, but included because they wanted it (like if a wedding client asks me if I can get a picture of grandma eating).

The following is currently my workflow process to make it happen:

I filter Lightroom to show 5 stars photos only. I then export them. I take that group, and use JAlbum to overlay a GIF that shows 5 Stars on the bottom corner of the picture.

I then filter Lightroom to show 4 star photos only. I then export them into a different folder, and then use JAlbum to overlay a GIF that shows a picture of 4 Stats on the bottom corner of the picture.

I repeat for all stars, then combine all the pictures into one folder.

There has got to be an easier way?

There is - Mogrify. That will allow you to add text to your images - any size, any colour, any font - with numerous options for placement. The text can include tokens - one of which is Lightroom's star rating.

Why not use use - in the Library Module "View" - "Sort" - "Rating" it will put 5 star first, then 4 star then 3 star etc. You can choose ascending or descending order
