designated printing version

Can a single picture, not part of any set, be designated for printing or is this only possible if it is part of a set? So far, I've defined one of the folder state colors as "Ready for printing" but I wonder if there is a better way.

An alternative for an individual file would be to use 'color label names'. However like folder state colors, you can only assign a single colour to an image - if it's designated as ready for printing, you can't designate it as anything else at the same time, so you need think through your overall approach.

You could also create one or more portfolio collections, for printing purposes, and add your images there, as needed.

Ah, a use for portfolio collections, thanks. Not at my photo computer right now so can collections be nested? Then I could have a master collection for each theme or major subject and inside each one a collection for printing, another collection for ... . OR a master printing collection with a nested collection for the printing images for each subject or major theme.

can collections be nested?

Yes, a portfolio can have multiple collections in it, and collections can be nested.
