• Problem (bug?) with smart collections

  Hello

  I have LR (standalone) 6.1 and I want to create a smart collection to select images that are not in the collections (stardard). As I find anything better, I created a smart collection where I need the name of the collection of the image does begin with 'A', 'B', etc...

  This works as long as the collection names are long of 1 Word. I'm intrigued by this behavior. Is this a bug? Is there another way to achieve what I want?

  Thank you.

  [It may take awhile for someone who knows the answer to read your messages.]

  The operator "starts by" is buggy.  The criterion of the "Collection starts with a' will match any collection whose name contains a word that begins with"a ". For example it will not match "A big red pony", 'It's a pony of reading', 'ponies are large animals.  Adobe has acknowledged this bug four years ago in the Adobe official feedback forum: Lightroom: problems with "begins with" text filtering.  You can add your vote and review on it in the vain hope that Adobe can fix before the next ice age.

  Meanwhile, to find all photos that are not in the collection, you can use these rules:

  Match any of the following rules

  Collection contains a, b, c,... z 1 0... 9

• problem with filter smart collection

  Hello

  I know that this question could be covered widely in various forums, but I can't find what I'm looking for.

  The issue I'm having is that I used the quick Collection folder to temporarily store all the photos that I have edited for printing.  All of a sudden all the photos of this quick collection have broken links (! in the upper right corner).  I found these pictures in the real LR folder and they are fine.  How is that possible?

  instead of fixing all the links in the quick collection, I would like to use a smart collection just find all my photos edited in the original folder that has the tact in links.  However, when you filter for "adjusted photos" the smart collection keeps giving me photos with broken links, probably from my quick collection, not those of the foler.  How do I know the smart collection to search only in one folder I want?

  I hope that this logic... I can clarify if necessary.  Thank you!

  Hi, you seem to be confused about the importance of brands of exclamation noticed on the images.

  This means that the catalog as a whole has lost track of these images.

  The most likely reason is that they have been moved to another location by using the operating system or one application other than Lightroom or they are on an external hard drive where the assigned drive letter changed (a Windows problem).

  I do not understand your comment on find them in the "real" LR folder

  Images are not stored in Lightroom, either.

  The catalog contain references to the location of your pictures.

  It is these references that are spread over the images showing the exclamation points.

  If the Smart collection has been implemented correctly then it will want to include all the images that have been published for printing, but the Smart collection is SEO information found in the catalogue and so it will include images of which the catalogue has lost track of--exactly as you found it.

• "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.

• 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."

• Smart collection for images of the error

  Is it possible to create a smart collection for images with the message "lightroom has met problems reading of this photo?

  Laughing out loud

  If you get this message, the images have been corrupted somehow, and you will not be able to make use of these images. You might as well remove them from Lightroom.

• 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.

• Adobe Bridge CC smart Collections are not all images in the folder

  I'm having a problem with bridge CC have been I have set up a smart collection to monitor my new photos. The folder contains more than 300 photos, but displays only 160. The only condition I set must have a minimum of 10 KB file size, then he needs to bring in all the files because most are greater than 4 MB. At first I thought it was a problem with the files themselves (permissions or something) but if I open the file in bridge easily display images easily. Any ideas?

  I just solved the above condition in accessing the smart collection and clicking while pressing 'control' > edit. > Source. > Look at po and re connected to the source of origin (on our server) that I had defined for the smart collection. All is well now.

  I hope this helps.

• Smart collection 'had adjustments' does not not in 4.3

  Hello

  In version 3.4 LR, I had no problem to apply this smart collection on a specific library folder by selecting the collection, and then pressure CTRL (Windows) while I click on the folder in question... which would filter all these pictures I edited in LR to this folder.

  This is not the case in LR 4.3.

  At the present time, this smart collection says I've got 8683 these photos in the collection and try the above method to filter only those published in a specific folder in the library, shows simply 8683 all pictures of my entire library.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Yep - Adobe changed ctrl-click on the smart collections and Union records instead of the intersection. (displays all the photos at a time instead of the collection criteria smart rental act as a filter in the file).

  A change I'm more unhappy about and am a little upset that Adobe is changing just the basic behaviors (revoke) that people have come to depend on when it seems that they could simply increase with new behaviors that cover the additional bases.

• Smart collection returns different results to the library filter?

  This is such a stupid thing, and I barely noticed. I have smart collections simply gather all the images with a particular star of note, very very simple! I have a 1 star, a Star 2 and one for the 3 stars and more. So far so good, use these for centuries-, but I noticed that if I go to Catalog/All photos and place a filter of the same library (this is the filter at the top of the library grid view) I get different results. Actually if I place a filter attribute that says '= 2 stars' images only I can watch the tape that works at the bottom of the screen (sorry I have no idea what it's called) and he said that "all photos / 1056 1647 photos» If I can clear this filter and scroll down to my smart collection that applies the filter even to the entire catalog (and I triple checked this, no difference at all, I don't have lower or higher than the here is the self same "=" only!) and it says "1066"! Thus, the smart collection search 10 images more than other, identical filters working on the entire catalog - I am confused? Anyone had this problem, I missed something? If it wasn't for the number of images concerned I'd them and try to find the additional files by hand!

  You can check if the images are stacked differently (and thus not counted) in both points of view.

• Status of metadata in smart collections

  Their smart collection configuration in LR4.1 to show all the images that must be saved to disk - "metadata status is not updated.

  After saving images sometimes certain images will always come back as if they were not updated.  For example, I saved a single image 6 times on this smart copllection drive, but every time after that seconds back again as if she must still be saved.

  Tried to change some develop elements to force real change, but this does not a problem either.  Any thoughts?

  With the help of 16 GB Ram, snow leopard Mac.

  Thank you

  After the recording of metadata (if not make a mistake), read the metadata. (there is a bug in Lightroom, and which often clears the symptoms of the problem).

• Smart collection collecting too many keywords

  I created a smart collection with only one rule - keywords/Contains / 'Landscape' - but many other images that do not contain that keyword appears in the collection. This does not happen with any other keyword that I know. I tried to re-creation of the collection, re-keywording my images, etc., but without success. How can I solve this problem?

  DARBS,

  I suspect that the landscape is a keyword parent for several others. Look in your list of keywords to see if this is the case.

  Alternatively, you can assign the entry of keywords "Keywords & tags containing" to see what is happening:

• How can I insert raw images in smart collections?

  I just created a few smart collections, but the CR files were rejected.  Is it possible to include?  I shoot raw/jpeg, so hold the two formats from the collection.

  Thank you.

  I just checked the Raw images in smart collections. It worked just like all other JPEG files. If you can view thumbnails of Raw in bridge, according to my hypothesis, there cannot be any problem in creating the smart collection. If you cannot display thumbnails u may need to update the bridge to read the contradiction of particular camera model image.any will be received in the good spirit

• How is possible to create a smart collection to find all the photos that are not belongs to any collection?

  Hello

  How is possible to create a Smart Collection to find all the photos are not belongs to any collection?

  "Yesterday I was importing a lot of photo when my camera battery died then I succeeded him and continued to import without thinking that the previous import collection literally means" previous import. "

  So I need to find a way to create a smart collection that will reveal all the photos that do not belong to any collection.

  I solved the problem with a workaround is creating a collection based on the date of the photo which worked well, but must be nice to have a more general collection to find all the photo that are not from the collections.

  Thanks in advance,

  Marco.

  Another way to do

  1. Select all photos in the catalog

  2 dismiss a color label

  3. go to collections and multi select all your collections (ctrl)

  4. select images and give them a color

  5. return to the catalogue

  6. filter by color label - No

• 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.
