Title: Finding images with no keywords
Post by: mikecookson on March 10, 2007, 11:25:36 am

It's easy to find keyworded items in the library but what if you want to find the images that you haven't yet keyworded - so that you can then add keywords to them.

Does anyone know how to search for images that don't have keywords?

Thanks

You can search files using title, metadata, file name, IPTC, EXIF and, of course, keywords once you have tagged your files. You also have different capture date options.

Thanks Francoise - although what I am trying to do is find those files that I haven't yet tagged. i.e. say I've keyworded 60% of the library and want to quickly find those that I still need to keyword.

Yes, the Inverse Selection command is very useful!
