Searching by Date
Images that you import from sources other than digital cameras and card readers, such
as JPEG or TIFF files, may not have EXIF information associated with them. However, they
typically have a creation date assigned to the file. You can use this creation date to locate
images using the Date search options.
To search for images by creation date
1 In the Projects & Albums section of the Library inspector, select the item you want to
search.
2 Click the Filter HUD button (with a magnifying glass icon) beside the search field in the
Browser (or press Command-F).
3 In the Filter HUD, choose Date from the Add Rule pop-up menu.
4 Select the Date checkbox, then choose a date option from the Date pop-up menu.
5 Choose an option from the middle pop-up menu to qualify your search.
6 In the text field, enter the date you want the search based upon.
Choose how you want
to qualify your search
from this pop-up menu.
Select the
Date checkbox.
Choose a date option
from the Date
pop-up menu.
Enter a date here.
If needed, you can add multiple Date options to specify the capture year, capture month,
capture day, and so on.
7 Choose Any from the Any/All pop-up menu in the top-left corner of the Filter HUD, if it’s
not already chosen.
The images that match the search criteria are immediately displayed in the Browser. To
save your search results, see Saving Your Search Results.
Searching by EXIF Information
You can search for and locate images using any EXIF information recorded by your camera.
For example, you might locate any images that were created with a certain camera or at
a specific exposure. To search for images by EXIF information, you use the EXIF search
options.
