Searching for and Displaying Images

145

Images that you import from sources other than 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 panel, select a project or an album you want to search.

2

Open the Query HUD by doing one of the following:

 Choose Edit > Find (or press Command-F).
 Click the Query HUD button (with a magnifying glass icon) beside the search field in

the Browser.

3

In the Query HUD, choose Date from the Add Filter 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

Enter the date you want the search based upon.

7

Choose “any” from the Match pop-up menu, 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

” on page 150.

the Date pop-up menu.
