# Filtering the View of Your Images

**Filter** is a feature that allows users to sort and narrow their photo collection by applying filters based on various metadata (image data) and image attributes.

To access the filtering options, click the **Filter** icon (the three horizontal lines icon) in the bottom-right corner of the workspace:

#### **Filter Options:**

* **All Photos:** Select this to clear any active filters and display all images in your current Catalog or folder.
* **Edit:** Filter images by whether they have been edited. Showing only edited images makes it easy to find the photos you have already processed.
* **Flag:** Filter images by their status. You can choose to show only images you have flagged as Favorites, images you have Rejected, or Unmarked photos (images not tagged as either Favorite or Rejected).
* **Rating:** Filter your photos by user-assigned star ratings (e.g., showing only 5-star ones).
* **Capture Date:** Filter images by when the photo was taken (e.g., Today, This Week, Last Month, etc.).
* **Edit Date:** Locate photos based on when they were last edited in the application (e.g., Today, This Week, Last Month, etc.).
* **Camera:** Filter by the specific camera model used to take the photo.
* **Focal Length:** Filter by the distance between the camera lens and the image sensor (affecting zoom and field of view).
* **ISO:** Filter by the camera setting that controls the sensor's sensitivity to light.
* **Aperture:** Filter by the size of the camera's lens opening (impacting the depth of field and brightness).
* **Shutter Speed:** Filter by how long the camera’s shutter was open to let light in (affecting exposure).
* **File Format:** Filter by specific file formats (e.g, JPEG, NEF, TIF, etc.)

These extensive filtering options allows to quickly locate specific images based on detailed criteria, making it easier to manage large photo collections.

In the bottom-right corner, you can also find the **Thumbnail Size** dropdown menu, which lets you resize image thumbnails for better viewing. Click it to choose between **Small, Medium, Large**, and **Largest**:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.skylum.com/organizing-images/filtering-the-view-of-your-images.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
