- [Instructor] If you were on a hunt
to find a certain image in your catalog,
using the filter bar in the library module could save you
a ton of time.
The filter bar lets you search photos by just about
any information recorded in the metadata.
The filter bar is available up here,
if you go to the view menu and come down to show filter bar
and note that the backslash key
will also turn on the filter bar.
So if I use my backslash key now,
it will hide the filter bar
and if I hit the backslash key again, it will show it.
There's three modes in the filter bar
and clicking on the mode name will reveal that mode
and clicking on the name again, we'll hide it.
So we have text, attribute and metadata.
Let's take a look at text first.
There's all kinds of areas that you could search for text.
If you click here where it says any searchable field,
you get an idea of all the places
that this will filter down, searching for text.
Usually I just leave it on any searchable field
and then type the text in this field here.
Let's take a look at attribute.
The attribute mode is very similar to the filter
at the top of the filmstrip at the bottom of the panel here,
but it has a couple other options,
including the ability to filter for the images
that have been edited or not edited.
If I click on this icon, it filters out everything
because we haven't started editing images yet.
If I click on it again, it turns our filter off
and then all of the images come back.
We can even search multiple modes at the same time
by holding the Shift key down
and selecting on another mode name like text,
we can search for text and attribute.
So let's search all of the images
that were keyworded travel.
And then we can filter that down even further
by finding all of the travel images
that were picked with a flag.
So you can see how powerful this is.
I'll go ahead and click on flag again,
to turn that filter off and then click the X
to clear out the keyword travel.
Let's take a look at the metadata mode next.
This allows you to search for multiple different metadata.
Each of these columns can have different metadata in it.
If you click on the name at the top,
you can change it to a different set of metadata.
I'm going to go ahead and leave this on keyword
and again, let's filter down for all of the images
with the travel keyword and these are listed
in alphabetical order.
So if I scroll down here, I'll find travel.
So we have 150 of those images.
And in this column we can filter by camera.
And this is showing us that my travel photos were captured
with four different cameras.
Let's filter down for the Fuji X-T10,
and now we can filter by the different lenses
that were used on this camera.
So I'll filter down to the wide angle, 14 millimeter,
and then let's filter for the flagged images
that takes us to six images that have flags.
Remember if you don't see flag in this column,
you can click right where the word is and change the column
to be any metadata that you want.
We can even add another column here
by hovering up here in the top.
We get an icon all the way over to the right hand edge.
And if I click on that, I can add a column
and I'll set this column to keyword.
Let's go back up to the top where it says keyword.
And we could filter down to the one image
that was captured in Sydney and flagged using the Fuji X-T10
with the 14 millimeter lens.
It's pretty powerful what you can do here.
If we want to reset this,
we'll click back in this upper right hand corner
and we can remove this column
and then to reset any of these filters,
just go back up to the top and click on all.
And since we went back to the first column,
we set it to all, all of the rest were reset back
to the top as well.
So the filter bar is like having multiple filters all in one
with all of the options available here,
you should be able to find just about anything
you're looking for.
