Filter by IPTC / EXIF Metadata in Browser / Sheet View
« on: March 21, 2025, 02:20:43 AM »
I would like to see a feature added to filter by IPTC / EXIF Metadata in Browser / Sheet View.

Not sure if this is possible in Photo Mechanic +, but stars and colour just isn't enough.
Best in a way like Lightroom does it, in a upper menu or Capture One in a side menu.

I'm not sure whether that is possible in a Contact Sheet, but with Photo Mechanic Plus you can definitely browse IPTC, EXIF and more:

Hope that helps

Filtering is what is being asked for, which does exist, but the other users are asking for more IPTC and EXIF fields to be filterable.

Here is the current documentation for the Filter system in Photo Mechanic Plus:
