Well, the one thing that Adobe did right with Elements 7 was to give you about a gazillion different ways to find your images, so let's begin to go through those right now, and assuming you've taken advantage of the Albums section and the Keyword Tags section, this should be a very easy thing indeed. If you want to see basketball shots, you go up to your Album section, click on Basketball. Very, very straightforward. Undo that. If you want to see horses then you click on Horses and you'll get all the horse shots. That'll do it. Now, let's look at the Keyword Tags. Previously, as you'll recall in a previous lesson, we had Jeremy's baseball shots and if you want to find the images that have the Keywords on them, you come down to the Keyword section, you find the word Jeremy, and you see this little gray box right there? You just click on it, and here are all of the images that you gave that Keyword to, over time. If you want to see other images you unclick, come down and let's say I want to see Cody's horses. I don't want to see all the horses, I just want to see Cody's and not Laura's Rebekka, okay? So, we click on Cody's horse and there are all the images that have been given the Keyword Tag of Cody's horse. Now, we undo it and we click on Rebekka, and this is Laura's Warmblood, okay? Now, if we want to see all horses and we want to use the Keyword Tags to search them out we come up here to the Category name and we click the gray box next to the Category and all of the horses will come up. That's why you should get in the habit of using Albums and Keyword Tags to give yourself the ability to find your images very, very easily later on down the road. Now there are other ways to find images as well, and we come up here to Find, which makes sense, and if you know you took the picture, if you didn't put Keywords or put them in Albums, still you know, all is not lost. If you know when you took the picture Set Date Range. Click on that, and of course the beginning date and the ending date and it will search the images on that parameter. If you wrote a caption on the image you can search by Caption, by Filename, which is a little, little difficult to do because the filename's going to be the name the camera gave the file and you're not likely to remember what that is, but in case you do, then of course, you can search by Filename. All Version Sets Ð previous versions of Elements might be searchable for you. All Stacks; By History; when you Imported it; when you E-mailed it; when you Printed it; when you Exported it; if you Order Prints Online; if you Share them, in the Share section online; Used in Projects in the Create section Ð I mean, it's ridiculous how many different ways you can find your images Ð By Media Type, Photos. Now we're not, in this Tutorial, we're not thinking about Video or Audio, we are going to be doing Projects, we're not going to be doing Video or Audio, so you know, it'll find them and it'll allow you to categorize them, but it doesn't deal with them too well. By Details in the Metadata, such as if you've used a specific lens, or if you used a specific aperture or shutter speed, it'll search for your image in that regard. Items with Unknown Date and Time Ð you click on it, Show All, and it'll just bring everything up. So, that's kind of like throwing spaghetti against the wall. Untagged Items; Items not in any Album; you can find Faces for Tagging Ð it goes on and on. In Photoshop Elements 7, if you can't find your images you're just not looking.
