LR Library Filters


The Library module has a wealth of tools that are only barely visible, and often overlooked. Watching people using it, many seem to organise things only using the folder list on the left; some use collections as well, but the filtering seems to be pretty much overlooked. I get a terrible case of back-seat-driver-itis watching people paging through hundreds of photos, or stabbing into one folder after another, trying to find some photo or other when all they need to do is think about filtering...
