Step Five:
Again, there are four default ways to
search using the Metadata options:
By Date:
If you think you can remember which
year the photo you're looking for was
taken, in the Date column, click on that
year, and you'll see just those photos
appear. If you want to narrow it down
further, click the right-facing arrow to
the left of the year, and you'll find each
month, and then you can drill down to
the individual days (as shown here).
By Camera Body:
If you don't remember the year you took
the photo, but you know which camera
body you took the shot with, then just
go straight to the Camera column and
click directly on the camera (you'll see
how many photos you took with that
camera listed to the right of the camera
body). Click on the body, and those
photos appear.
By Lens:
If the shot you took was a wide angle,
then go right to the Lens column, click
on the lens you think it was taken with,
and those images will appear. This helps
if you know the photo was taken with a
speciality lens, like a fisheye—you can just
click right on that lens (as shown here),
and you'll probably find the shot you're
looking for pretty quickly. By the way, you
don't have to start with the Date column,
then Camera, then Lens. You can click on
any column you'd like, in any order, as all
of these columns are always “live.”
By Label:
The last column seems somewhat
redundant to the Attribute search
options, but it actually is helpful here
if you've found 47 photos taken with
a fisheye, and you know you have the
best ones marked with a label. This
will narrow things down even further.
