Finding photos in the catalog

Finding photos and viewing them in the Library module is a necessary part of working with your photos. Lightroom provides many different ways to find photos, whether your catalog includes hundreds or thousands of images. You can select folders, collections, or keyword tags to display specific photos. You can also search on text criteria and filter by flag status, ratings, labels, and metadata categories in the Library Filter bar. You can even combine a search with a metadata filter to further refine the photos that you want to display.
