How to filter for criteria not matching?
« on: January 12, 2025, 11:09:50 AM »
Hello,

Maybe it is obvious but I'm not seeing it - in Photo Mechanic Plus, how to filter for all photos NOT matching a particular criteria (such as keyword, or something else that's filterable)?

Thanks.

Hello,

You could use the Search Tab instead of the Filter Tab and search for keywords not (Outdoors or Sky) to build a contact sheet with all of your images that do not have either Outdoors or Sky as a keyword.  The Search Examples page can be accessed from the bottom of the Catalog menu or from the Settings icon at the right end of the Search field.  I hope this helps.

Best regards,

--Bob
