Step Three:
Another way to search is by attribute, so
click on the word Attribute in the Library
Filter and those options appear. Earlier
in this chapter, we used the Attribute
options to narrow things down to where
just our Picks were showing (you clicked
on the white Picks flag), so you're already
kind of familiar with this, but I do want to
mention a few other things: As for the star
ratings, if you click on the fourth star, it
filters things so you just see any photos
that are rated four stars or higher (so you'd
see both your 4-star and 5-star images).
If you want to see your 4-star rated images
only, then click-and-hold on the
*
(greater
than or equal to) sign that appears to
the immediate right of the word Rating,
and from the pop-up menu that appears,
choose
Rating Is Equal to
, as shown here.
Step Four:
Besides searching by text and attributes,
you can also find the photos you're looking
for by their embedded metadata (so you
could search for shots based on which kind
of lens you used, or what your ISO was
set to, or what your f-stop was, or a dozen
other settings). Just click on Metadata in
the Library Filter, and a series of columns
will pop down where you can search by
date, camera make and model, lenses, or
labels (as shown here). However, I have to
tell you, if the only hope you have of find-
ing a photo is trying to remember which
lens you used the day you took the shot,
you've done a really lame job of naming
and/or keywording your shots (that's
all I'm sayin'). This should truly be your
“search of last resort.”
