 Today I want to show you how to search your folders inside a lightroom What's up nerds? Welcome back to another photo nerds tutorial. My name is Adam And today I want to show you how to search your folders inside a lightroom Now this is a brand new feature that you just got in the new update just this month here in February and It's funny because I know I get a lot of grumbles from some people out there saying they don't want to pay for Subscription and so they're looking for ways to to get out of it Or they're looking for other software features out there that they they can just pay a one-time flat fee But every once in a while, I'm reminded as to why that ten bucks a month is Just so damn cheap and this is one of the new features That's just been added this month in 2018 And I really think it's something that a lot of you will find useful if you're paying for the subscription And it's a way for you to search through your folders inside of lightroom. Now if you have a Memory that's a steel trap and you just don't forget anything. You just remember all Of the places you've ever been and where you've traveled and when you've been there Fantastic good for you, then you're gonna be able to get through finding everything, but the older I get the more forgetful I become and I don't remember if I went to Cuba in 2013 or 2018 and so this new feature is a really cool way to remember Where things are because all you have to do is search and If you are using your folders correctly, this is this is a dream. So Let's jump into lightroom and show you what it is. I'm talking about so I'm gonna head on into my folder structure and I kind of have my things broken down by personal or by work related things for clients and such and Then I have the typical that the way that I think a lot of you out there Organize your files are by year and then by month and then by destination at least that's how I have them done So I'll have the year I went to places all the way from 2011 to 2017 and then within those folders. I have Things by month and then destination but but there are times when I go to places more than one time and I don't remember if I went there last year the year before or five years ago So this new feature if you've done your update Puts a search bar right above where your folders are So for example, if I wanted to remember Where my folder is for Cuba. I just type in the word Cuba and Boom just like that. It'll pull up the folder where my Cuba is so I could see. Oh, yeah. Hey, I wrote I went there in 2016 How about Iceland the last time I went to Iceland so I go in here and I type in Iceland and There you can see I have it both for 2014 and 2015 So again, this makes searching your folders really really easy This is something that you haven't been able to do in the past The only other way that you could have done something like this is perhaps if you either a Remembered when you went and you could just go to those folders or B You created a keyword of some kind and then you could go in your keywords But I know a lot of you are not very good about keeping up with your key wording So if you are naming your folders correctly this search feature is going to be a lifesaver for you, so make sure your Lightroom catalog is up to date and then Go ahead and use this search function to find things It's gonna save you a lot of time and effort So hopefully you found this useful if you did give it a thumbs up if you're not already subscribed Go ahead and do that and as always. Thank you so much for watching. My name is Adam. Have a great day, everybody
