Smart Collections - how to test if legend or title is empty?

I am using the smart collections to detect what I consider mistakes in my flickr of editing for things like the author not defined status, lack of information location, creator and others by using the operator '_FITTED    I am now configuring some collections in "warnings" to check if I've set up a title and a legend and could not see a way to test if these fields are blank, as the 'is' and 'is not' test operators seem not to be available for these fields as it is for others - fields such as country, State Creator etc.

Any help is appreciated.

Alan.

PS - Adobe... I appreciate an operator "is" is not reasonable for a free text field, but I suggest an operator "is empty" would make sense and be useful in this scenario.

LR3 has options for Caption "is empty."

  • Smart Collection showing bad pictures

    I built a smart collection that's my pictures without a title, but the photos with titles are also displayed. The condition that I use is "title contains words." Can be a help for this? Do I need to add other conditions? I do not use one of the conditions at the bar of 'search' at the top of the library Module. I am trying to build my own workflow using smart Collections.

    Mike

    I do not have the option of "title contains words", my option is "Title" and "does not contain", i.e. without the word "words". There is an option "contains the words" but "does not contain words '.

    I have the same smart collection that works well. My settings are like this:

    You can also use lowercase letters in the third field.

    You don't need the first two lines. They restrict the smart collection to a certain folder and image files that are not of the JPG.

    PS. Oh, I see. You put 'words' in the third field? It does not work. Then all the images with titles that does not contain the word "words" will appear - probably all.

  • How can I transfer my smart collections of the old hard disk on a hard disk new?

    I installed a new SSD in my Macbook Pro.  I used Migration Assistant to move the application, and I manually copied my libraries.  In the transfer, I lost all my smart collections (I got a few tens of individuals).  I still have the old drive with the installation of LR intact, so I can access it if there is a way to copy on the parameters of my collection.  Thanks if advance for any guidance.

    rpandita: you must export this collection in the catalog and then move it to another computer.

    I believe that acpft24 has copied with success of its catalogue and photos on the new diskette but wants to transfer the definitions of its smart collections, not the pictures that result to invoke smart collections.  Catalog export won't.

    ManiacJoe: Smart collections are found in the LR catalog. By going to the new HD, you need to move your images and catalogue LR and all your LR presets. http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-Lightroom-to-new-computer/

    If indeed the goal is to transfer the definitions of smart collections, then the referenced article will tell you how to do this, in addition to all your other preferences and presets.  I don't know why the Migration Wizard does not do it right, but of course, it didn't.

    Note that the definitions of smart-collection is not stored in the correct catalog, but in LR preferences file.  You can see the contents of this folder by preferences > Presets > show Lightroom Presets folder.   The "Smart Collection Templates" subfolder contains files text .lrtemplate, one for each smart collection.

  • How to copy a structure of (smart) collections from PC to laptop?

    I have setup a structure large smart collection LR3 on my desktop PC.

    How to (copy) this structure to my Lightroom 3 on my laptop? Exports in the catalogue the only way?

    Kind regards

    Peter

    Yes. This is how I do for smart collections came on the scene. I submitted a feature request to export the smart collections as well as their actual structure, but it doesn't have much traction because it isn't something you do very often.

  • 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

  • How do I create a smart (smart) collection of all photos taken at date of Christmas for all years (all of 24 December)?

    I like to create a smart collection of all photos taken from a specific date as December 24, for all years!

    It is very tedious to do that in Lightroom without a plug-in.

    I think that the plug-in filter everything from John R. Ellis can create this collection without penalty (I don't know if it creates a smart collection or a regular collection).

  • How to copy files from a smart collection on a regular?

    In Lightroom CC I want to sync photos to the cloud.  Since Lightroom only synchronize smart collections, I created a regular collection.

    Following the instructions, I selected all and trained to the new regular collection.  But they don't hang around.

    I can drag a photo and I get the blue highlight on the collection.  But as soon as I select 2 or more when I drag the blue highlighting disappears...

    When you go to slide images, make sure you click on the thumbnail and not the gray frame.

  • How to restrict a smart collection to another collection

    I have a collection - I evaluated their & flying their flag. I want to make a smart collection, so I only see photos with indicator and listed. I tried to use the collection as a source for a smart collection, but this does not select the photos. Instead, I have to use the folder as source - what I am doing wrong?

    See you soon

    Stephen

    Hi Stephen

    Go to your collection and use the filter library. If you do not see the filter library at the top of your thumbnails, press the backslash key.

    You can use the filter to search for photos with indicator and starry or combinations of these criteria.

  • 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

  • Using Smart Gallery to reflect a Smart Collection?

    I would like to create a smart Gallery based on criteria (pick flag, label color, category) so that my best images will automatically enter in this collection "my best Images.

    I then create a smart Gallery in Zenfolio reflecting this collection?

    I tried to create a smart Gallery whose criteria is simply "Source contains all of the words"my best Images", but that doesn't seem to work. He produced images of 0.

    1. at Zenfolio.com, in the Photos section, create a new empty gallery:

    2. right click on the Zenfolio service in Control Panel Services publish and select change settings.

    3. step off to the Zenfolio section: galleries to publish this Service.

  • I'm totally confused about records, collections and smart collections.

    I am a complete newbie to Lr so please forgive what are fundamental questions without doubt!

    In records, I have 2 folders - Annecy and Aix which have different vacation photos.

    In Collections, under smart Collections, I have a folder named Aix which has my pictures of Aix and that is synchronized to Lr on my ipad.  However, although Annecy is listed under Collections, it is in a folder at the top of a new tree under smart Collections but does not part of smart Collections.  I hope that makes sense!  This issue of Annecy does contain pictures, and the only thing being synchronized on ipad is the name of the folder.  How can I copy photos from the folder in the folders in the Collections folder?

    I read that peaks must be in the Collections before they can be synchronized.  However, on the ipad there is that a folder named "Pictures Lightroom" it contains 242, the same as "all photographs synchronized" under the heading catalog when Lr appears on my desktop.  At present, I am initially upload my pictures in my office and then import to the RL.

    Finally, about mobile Lr in response to a previous johnreliis investigation informed that I must ensure that I am connected to creative cloud on the ipad before being able to view synchronized + photos on the ipad.  I downloaded Lr mobile on the Apple store and have nothing to CC on the ipad.  Now, I wonder if the reason that the pictures of Annecy are not displayed on the ipad is due to the fact that, at the present time, they are not in a Collection.

    Thanks in advance for all you can give me advice.

    Richard

    Just drag Annecy out of smart Collections and next to Aix.

    What is called "smart Collections" is actually a Collection Set - that is a container for other regular or silent collections (like your Aix) and smart collections which include images of criteria that you define. Notice how "Smart Collections of" has a different icon from the smart collections inside, looking more like a box. So what you could do then is to create a set of Collection called France and drag Annecy and Aix in it.

    To get the pictures in the Annecy collection, you can find them in your folders and drag the thumbnails in the grid and place in Annecy.

  • Smart Collections using 'Source' and 'Collection '.

    I'm a little confused about this subject.  I want to create a smart collection within a set of sets in the collection.

    Example:

    The TRIPS agreement is a set of collection

    Under the TRIPS Agreement, you have RV

    Under the RV, you have "ButterField Ranch may 2016.

    Under "ButterField Ranch 2016 may" you "All".

    Then under "ButterField Ranch 2016 may" want to create a smart collection that includes only the "color of the label" green collection "All".

    The question is, how - you reference the 'all' within all the other collections without getting all other collections 'All' somewhere else.

    What the question is: How do bosses really work for 'Source'-> 'Collection '.

    The question is, how - you reference the 'all' within all the other collections without getting all other collections 'All' somewhere else.

    You can not.  Smart collection criteria allow you to match the names of the folders, collections, published reports and publish the service (for example, "Flickr").  There's no way to match the name of a collection defined in smart collections (or filters, incidentally).   Others have asked for this feature - please add your vote and detailed opinion, why you want this feature request service in the official Adobe feedback forum: Lightroom: Smart collections lack of criterion for "Collection Set | Community customer Photoshop family .

    To match the names of the sets in the collection, you can use the plugin to any filter.

  • Smart collection? These latest imports?

    Is there a way to create a smart collection to see all the photos imported in the last, say, 1 or 2 days? It seems that the date is available as a field in the metadata, but I don't see how to use it in a smart collection. I want to work with all the photos that have been imported from several SD cards at the same time.

    I was afraid of that... but I've found a workaround. I created a new standard collection called recent imports and the value of import to automatically add dialog of the photos in this collection. I just need to remember to clear the collection at the right time.

  • 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:
