Feautre Request in the Find function

In Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 I have tried to find a way to sort on pictures that have NOT been tagged by a keyword.



As far as I can see the only way to do this is using the Search by Keywords ''Not Containing'' [keyword A], [keyword B] and so on, which in fact means that you'll have to build a search ''not containing'' all of your keywords.



...or is it some function that lets me do this another way.



I'll be grateful for any suggestions.



Best regards

Marius

Start by being in Library/All Photographs.



In the Keyword Tag list Mult-select all the Keywords. Then do Select All in the grid and then Invert Selection, under Menu/Edit.



Voila!

Don,

First, thank you very much for your quick reply.

Your suggestion seemed promising, but didn't seem to work the way I expected.



After inverting the selection, the only thing that happens is that the already selected pics (those with a keyword in the grid) become deselected.

Then you have all images keyworded, or something else is wrong.



Do you have Grid Badges turned on? Does a 'Tag icon' show in the lower right of image thumbs for all images with tags applied? If so, are there any without that? If there are, then I don't know why this didn't work.

Hi All,



I had the initial problem Marius had, but then figured out what Don was trying to do. The following are steps that allow you to identify photographs without keywords and put them into a collection. Here are the steps (in Windows):



[1] Go to Library and ensure that the filters are turned on/off according to what you want to do.

[2] Click the first keyword under ''Keyword Tags''.

[3] Scroll down to the bottom and holding down SHIFT, click the last keyword. All keywords are now selected. All images with at least one of the keywords is shown.

[4] Press Ctrl+A (all images with keywords are selected).

[5] Click All Photographs under ''Library''. (All images are selected. Images with out keywords are included but they are not selected.)

[6] Invert Select (Edit .. Invert Selection). Images that have no keywords are now selected.

[7] Add a new Collection (Click ''+'' next to the Collections item).

[8] Type the name of the Collection; make sure ''Include selected photos'' is checked. Click OK.



Now you have a collection with all photographs that don't have keywords. A collection allows you to see the subset of photographs that require keywords. You assign a bunch of keywords.



Now, you want to remove from the collection the images that had keywords assigned. Repeat steps #1 to #4. For step 5, instead of selecting the library, you select the Collection.



Now, you have only the images that have keywords. Next you right-click any of the images with keywords and select ''Remove from Collection'' .. now your collection is reduced to showing the subset of images that do not have keyword assigned.

I am not a PC user per se, so was not sure how to spell out all the steps for PC. Buts that's it. Thanks Ian.
