It's time for the library filter, where you can quickly find and source images. First of all, make sure you can see all your images in the library module, quickest way to do is to click on all photographs on the catalog in the catalog panel here, you can see all your images in here. Okay. Next, you'll see this library filter on the top in here, and it will say no filter by default. Let's have a look on this. And I'll explain a bit more.

First, we've got a text in here. So if you come text, there'll be a drop down, we can search for different text. So for example, you can search through some metadata so we can search for, let's say flowers in this case. And even before you press Enter or Return to accepted Lightroom will show you the results. It's a live search. So it's shown all the images with any searchable field, in this case, it found it in the metadata, the key word flowers all let's say nomic See if it finds it.

Not yet. No. No, Eric No, haven't found anything yet. No. Okay. How about macro?

Macro? Yeah. With Kira See? macro. It's found these four images. Okay, probably less useful library filter because you can use these Yeah, okay, we can see them you don't have to type anything.

Okay. One thing I wanted to point in here is when you're in the keyword list in here, when you move the cursor over the keywords the image is actually highlighted even before you click on them. Like right now I've got these three images highlighted, they have this border around and white border around them. These ones here, very nice feature. Anyway, back here, attribute is the next one. We're going to explore it a little bit more more get to collections because we're going to talk about star rating and flags And colors, I will be talking about the Virtual Copies later as well.

So this is the kind of features you can use attributes to sort the files. Next one is the metadata. This is a very interesting one. That's where you can search for all sorts of different metadata. So for example, you will get the keywords in here. So say I want the images with Britain keywords, I can click on that and you'll see all the images for this keyword.

It's going to collapse this file here the button also click on All You can also search for cameras. So I've got some images from Fuji x one. And as for images from unknown camera. You can search for lenses. So say these two images were taken with the telephoto lens 55 to 200 millimeters fraudulence. Oh good seven images with 35 millimeter standard lens.

Got some data as well. So we got 12 images from last year. 12 2014 and 16, which is from 2015. We've got some images from January and September, okay, it wasn't 14 June and July and August. You can also choose what do you want to use as the metadata in here. Because next to every property here, there's a drop down menu.

So you can choose almost anything you can imagine really. So say we could look for the focal length of the focal length for the lens and here but we could look for the ISO speed. So let's just take a look at one image taken at ISO 1600. And then three meters at 411 inches and 200 and this is the unknown Ayah so this will be from the compact camera from my friends. Or you could use a flashlight. No flash, and unknown will be these ones here again, they don't seem to have unlimited data at all.

And GPS data location or CT, there'll be nothing here because we didn't have any metadata and GPS data, or creator, or copyright status, they all seem to be copyrighted. So you can quickly find the images based on certain criteria. And here, often use it for yourself speed as well. And whenever you want to close that, you just click on none. This will close the library filter, collapse the drop down, and you're back to your normal grid view with all the images in here. And in the next one, we're moving on to develop module.

But first we're going to do is we're going to import some more images and we're going to import images from hard drive. And then we'll jump into the develop module and we'll stop developing images
