Filtering Catalog is a feature that allows users to sort and narrow down their photo collection by applying filters based on various metadata (data about the image) and image attributes. This includes:
Filter by camera model (the specific camera used to take the photo).
Filter by focal length (the distance between the camera lens and the image sensor, affecting zoom and field of view).
Filter by ISO (a camera setting that controls the sensor's sensitivity to light).
Filter by shutter speed (when the camera’s shutter is open to let light in, affecting exposure).
Filter by aperture (the size of the camera's lens opening, impacting the depth of field and brightness).
Filter by rating (user-assigned ratings, such as star ratings for favorite or important images).
These extensive filtering options enable users to quickly locate specific images based on detailed criteria, making it easier to manage large photo collections.
The Showing All Photos drop-down menu (located to the left of the By menu in the upper right corner of the Catalog) allows you to filter your images by Favorites, Rejected, Unmarked, RAW, and Edited. Finding the best ones can be tricky with hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of pictures. The Showing menu allows you to filter your photos quickly.
Combining the filters in the Showing drop-down menu with the sorting functions in the By menu allows you to find exactly what you need in a few clicks. For example, you might show only Favorites organized by Capture Time.
Favorites. This filter shows only images you have flagged as favorites.
Rejected. This filter shows only images you have rejected.
Unmarked. This filter shows all images not tagged as either Favorite or Rejected.
RAW. All photos in RAW format
Edited. This filter shows all images you have edited. Showing only edited images makes it easy to find the photos you have already processed.
Moreover, you can filter your photos by capture time too:
When viewing photos in the Gallery view, image thumbnails can be resized for better viewing. From the Thumbnail Size dropdown menu, choose between Small, Medium, Large, and Largest.
