My own method is after upload I run a quick slide show by selecting all and using cmd+return on a Mac or Ctrl+return on a PC run a slide show. As each photo shows full screen if I want to include it I hit P, if I want to delete it I hit X. If clear either hit U. This flags photos with a 'P' for picks, 'X' for rejects and 'U' unflags. I also hit '6' to flag as red anything I think I'll take into photoshop.
At the end of this process I use the filter to check the rejects and then click on photo delete rejected photos.
If you are selecting photos from a number of different folders putting them into a collection may be the best way to select them. You can put an image in a quick collection by hitting 'B' on the image. These appear just under the navigator panel in the Catalog drop down in 'Quick Collection' You may need to clear it out first which is done by hitting 'B' whilst in the collection. Just use select all and hit 'B' before you start.
Whichever selection method you prefer once the are all chosen use Edit>Select all and then hit Export (in grid mode).
When in Export don't try to use the predefined presets, but if this is something you intend to do a lot you might want to save your own.
First choose the destination (Mac version shown and circled in red). Probably untick the box that says put in subfolder (also in red). When you click on choose you should be able to navigate to your CF Card/ Thumb drive ect. The other option is to click on the Eport to: (circled in green) and change it from Specific Folder to choose later. If you do this it'll ask where to put the files when you are finished, if you are saving your own pre-set this can be very useful.
Work down the page, you can re-name here if you wish, but the important parts are the File Settings, choose the file type and quality and sizing if you need to resize the image.
Once your settings are in place if you want to save the settings click on the Add (circled blue) at the bottom and you can save a preset for future use. Once you get used to it it's really very simple, it sounds and looks a lot more complex than it actually is.
