Search using a combination of criteria
You can use the Filter HUD to see all photos that match a certain search criteria. For example,
you can search for all the photos in a project that have a rating of five stars. You can show
photos with a specific keyword assigned, photos that are flagged or color labelled, or photos
taken in a specific location or on a specific date. The Filter HUD allows you do searches based
on a wide variety of the metadata assigned to your photos. You can also find photos that match
a combination of criteria, which allows you do to complex searches. You can search for photos
within a specific project, album, or folder, as well as search your entire library in a broad search.
