Working It Out

So for 2 days a week I catalog student art work for a local art college. Currently I'm cataloging the work grad student who for me, has no editing skills what so ever. Most MFA thesis's have had 5-25 photos/art work to catalog. This person included nearly 200 photos of her thesis work, many of them are nearly repeats too. Many are not the right orientation and most are not needed and some are simply bad photos. I think I could edit this down to about 30 as a whole and it would show her work very well. How does one complete an MFA and not have decent editing skills? Hell, I don't even have a BFA and could do this. Ugh.
