Smart collection collecting too many keywords

• Lightroom CC smart Collections - keywords - bringing in other Photos

  Hi all

  I'm having some problems with Collections smart Lightroom - would really appreciate some help with this.

  I've implemented a Smart Collection using the keyword "windows and doors".  He brought in all of tagged "windows and doors" my photos but it also brought in many other photos that do not have this keyword.  I thought that maybe it's that he straightens out the word "and" which could be included in another keyword, but this is not the case.

  As far as I see it is the only criterion I have set for the smart collection but just can't establish why she brings to all other photos.

  Any help with this will be appreciated.

  Another possibility is to not use smart collections at all.

  In the keyword list Panel, hover your mouse over "Windows and doors" and click on the arrow to the far right. It is the best way to find pictures with a particular keyword, in my opinion.

  The problem by using a smart collection and "contains all the" is it does not permanently select photos that have the keyword "windows and doors", he can always choose other keywords such as (invents) "Microsoft Windows and back doors. But in another example more realistic, if I key words for "New York" and "York", all of which are two cities in the State of New York (Yes, it is really a York City, New York), and they have the name of the city as a keyword and the name of the State as a keyword, and then search for the "New York" with "contains all the ' there are pictures of the two cities." There is no ambiguity when using the method of keyword list Panel, you will get only the photos for the keyword you want. So if I select the keyword 'York' via this method, I only get the photos with the keyword "York" and no photos with the keyword "New York."

• Can LR5 always create a Smart Collection or published a smart folder based on keywords?

  I have a smart Collection based on keywords imported LR4, but when you create a new Smart Collection or a published smart folder, the choice of "Key words" is missing from the context menu rules!

  Is this a bug?

  I am trying to create a smart folder that is published, but this question caught me.

  I think you can still do. If I correctly get what you're after: begin the process of creating the smart collection and when you see the settings dropdown to choose to create your collection, do scroll down to "Other metadata" click on it and you will see "Key words" it. I hope this helps

• Smart collection of matches with only two keywords

  I've added keywords in all my photos with the names of the people in the picture.  Then, I created a smart collection with two names inside.  For example, Jessica and Ryan.  This collection then returns all the images that have Jessica or Ryan in them. I am trying to get images that contain both Jessica and Ryan, but not other names.  The only way I knew how to do it is going in the other names in the field does not contain.  It seems a lot of work when I have many other names, and must be updated every time that I add new keywords.  Is there an easier way?

  Ryan,

  Not exactly. It depends on how you define more "easy". A possible solution would be to have a keyword that is the number of people in the photo. Then, you could look for Ryan and Jessica and 2 (or two?). Not a great solution, but it works.

  If Lightroom supported some syntax such as 'only Ryan and Jessica in the population', this kind of research would be possible.

• don't Smart collections no more filters by keywords.  How to fix?

  When I create a smart collection, I have more to make a criteria for selection of the keywords.  Is it possible to turn that back on or reactivate that?

  It is not in "other metadata?

• Smart collection drop-down does not keywords

  I must have got this right once, because I have a smart collection whose only condition is a key word, which is at the top of the drop down to this collection.  Similarly, there is a collection of default Smart that LR must have created, called "without the keywords" and that one of the conditions is that keywords are empty.  However, whenever I try to create a new collection of smart, the criteria drop-down begins with side, followed by pick flag, color of the label, the label text, down to the final criteria, 'any searchable text' I understand unlike keywords, because there is a criterion called keywords.  It is true of attempts to change existing smart collections.  Where's my criterion by keywords?

  If you click on the drop down sides first or that you have the display you will see that the criteria were grouped into LR5. You will find keywords by selecting:

  Other metadata > keywords

• Smart collection - stacked photos and keywords parents

  Hello world!

  I'm playing with smart collections and wonder there is a possibility

  -to filter photos stacked and / or the first (front) image of a stack of photo...

  -to filter a parent keyword that is not assigned itself-, it should show all the photos with the respective child of key words (but no pictures with other keywords that can contain part of the keyword parent); or more simply put - filter just how that would happen when you press on the-> arrow next to a keyword in the keyword browser

  Thanks for all the inputs.

  Unfortunately, there is no 'empty' option, but using a search the presence of vowels gets around this omission. You can configure a smart collection as shown in the attached screenshot and he must capture all of your images which have no title. There is another variant of this collection intelligent with a, e, i, o, u, y on a single line, but it was broken several times in previous versions, so I tend to not use it.

  

• Can I do a smart collection of specific marked faces?

  Can I do a smart collection of specific marked faces? For example, I want a collection for all the photos with tags of all three son's face. I use the CC of the trial but I have many friends who love Lightroom. This feature has been very important for me in Apple picture and I hope that Lightroom does the same thing, but I can't figure out how. Thanks in advance!

  Hi portagirlcs4,

  Yes, you can indeed. Tagged faces appear as keywords, so your labelng collection just specify a keyword search that contains 'all' of the keywords listed, which you would then enter.

  See this video for more information on using the face recognition feature to organize and view your Lightroom Catalog:

• Smart collection includes bad photos

  Hello

  Lightroom 6 / 10 Windows

  I have a smart collection with a basic filter included all files that have the keyword 'area '.

  It works, but it also adds in all the photos of my friend "Claire".

  What can I change to make things?

  Instead of "Contains", use "Contains words."

• Restrict a smart collection

  I have a search that pulls the two members of a family. I do a search for a member of the family. I have the key words being uniform #-name. I put that I'm looking for, but am coming up with two members of the family. Adding to the challenge is we got the number 20, one I'm eager. But the other has #2 as their uniform number. Any thoughts on how to restrict this search?

  TIA.

  Hi jim,

  If you create a smart collection for this search, you must specify the rule as: corresponding to all "" other metadata > keywords > contains the words > first name last name ".

  Or, if you're looking for this image with the specific keyword through filter, then turn on the filter bar, by going to the view menu

  and follow the instructions below:

  1. Select the metadata in the filter bar

  2 choose the keyword in the first menu drop-down

  

  3. Select the desired keyword in this list of keywords and which must display the refined result.

  Kind regards

• Smart collections missing items

  It spoke of the General discussion of the PS Re: bridge CC of smart collections missing

  I use Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) with PS/bridge CC. The fundamental problem is that, when I deleted my cache all the elements in smart collections 6 disappeared.

  > I'm willing to spend the time and effort to go back in each folder and add new keywords or sides or something, but not if I can't be comfortable that it won't happen. >

  No, you really shouldn't have to do. The keywords of your choice are part of the metadata for each file. You already said as well that your files are intact, as it should, so there is no reason to add more keywords or ratings or whatever it is, because the bridge will search the metadata. He doesn't worry when it was added, so being new will not help.

  Something seems to be corrupted. That bridge could not find a single keyword, that you know is in the metadata says that something is wrong, probably with bridge itself. Have you tried to bridge by pressing Cmd-Opt-Shift while clicking on the launch icon? Then reset the preferences? That could clear up this very strange behavior. Obviously, something went very wrong with the purge. Usually, I find just that it doesn't work, often freezes Bridge and I wrap manually delete the files cached, but I've never had it do nothing my smart Collections. However, if it damaged something along the way, which can only have done so.

  If this does not work, we can talk if you want to try to uninstall/reinstall the deck or if you just want this degrades to staff, if no one else jumps quickly here in the answer to this mystery.

• Can create you a smart collection of layered images

  Is there a way you can create a smart collection in Lightroom 4 to superimposed images? I have a bunch of overlapping images that I use for Panoramas and HDR fusion and I would like to create a smart automatic collection for these overlapping images. Is this possible?

  Robert

  Thanks, but I don't want to use third-party plug-ins. I can't believe that Adobe does not include a way to show just stacked collections of images.

  What I've done is added keywords for the stacks of images and then create smart collections based on those keywords. It seems to work very well.

• Smart collection did not let me click on save

  Hello

  I have none of the regular created collections or smart collections.

  I am trying to create a smart collection that contains all the photos with the Dingo keyword in them.

  1. I click on "create new smart collection.

  2. look in: folder "my pictures."

  3 criteria; Select the keywords - contains - and type in Dingo

  4. in the results, Match if all of the criteria and the two check boxes are selected.

  5. click on save.

  When I click on save, nothing happens, the window remains open and it doesn't seem like it recognize my click.

  Suggestions?

  It's weird.

  I don't know what influence startup scripts have, but you could check and see if you have checked them in preferences/Startup scripts.

  Is it on an internal dirve?  If external can have permission issues.  Just as a test of bridge nearby, do a right-click on the bridge icon and choose 'Run as administrator'.

  If this does not work, I'm balls.  Can try to reset the preferences.  Hold down the CTRL key and launch Bridge.  Should get a reset with 3 options window.

• "Birthdays" Smart Collection (based on day/month but NOT the year)

  Hello.

  I came across a problem when trying to make some organizes on my photos...

  Is it possible to create a Smart Collection with "Date is" + "in the range" then use day/month only and excludes the year?

  Or just a simple "Date is" + "date specific minimum year '.

  What I'm trying to do, is to create a smart album that has pictures of all my children on/autour. of their birthdays. The eldest is 14 years old and I have four children, manual adding of all dates and keep them up to date in a year is - while it is certainly doable - a little pain there.

  Is there a way to do this with Lightroom?

  The only way to create a smart collection for this is to manually add each year the criteria smart collection.

  A simpler way is to use the John R. Ellis AnyFilter plug-in.

• Photoshop retouching in smart collections

  Hello

  Usually I edit my photos in a folder (in lightroom, of course), I thought I would create a smart collection first this time to sort the pictures a little better.

  I use Ctrl + E to edit a photo in Photoshop. I do my necessary edits, save and return to lightroom. But the picture in the smart collection is still the original. If I go into the folder where the pictures are, the Assembly is stacked with the original Photo. It has (because it seems to me) the same tags and markings of color as the original photo. I tried to change the order of the stack, but it's no help.

  I tried splitting the battery, but the smart collection only reacts to the evolution of the original photo.

  What happens here?

  If the new file IS NOT satisfied the criteria for the Smart Collection, it will not be displayed in the Smart Collection.  For example, if you have a Smart Collection that is "file type is RAW" and do a "Edit in Photoshop" a RAW Collection Smart the edited file is that NOT a RAW file so it will not be displayed in the Smart Collection.   What are your Smart Collection criteria.
