Searching Lightroom database by focus parameters
Aug 29, 2021 13:27:52 #
Would like to add focus mode and focus area to exif data of individual photos. Can do this by adding text to "user comment" in metadata panel of library module. However this is not searchable. What I would like to do is retrieve all images in a given folder by those parameters. Unfortunately it (user comment) is not searchable. Is there a workaround to enable this type of search by comment? Unfortunate that Lightroom doesn't allow one to retrieve photos by focus data. (or at least I'm unable to do it!)

Brilliant! Ashamed I didn't think of that; I was just very focused on getting it into the grid exif search. In the "info" control I data displayed it would be wonderful if one could see, as an example, camera, exposure, dimensions, lens, ISO, and focus mode and focus area. And then just toggle through the info with repeat Control I strokes.

With so many things that LR can do, it is easy to get distracted and miss an easy answer...happens to me often. I decided long ago that if a solution didn't come to me right away, I would stop and rethink the problem. Sometimes...lol...that actually works for me.

One other thought on this subject...using Lightroom.
Don't overlook the power and usefulness of LR Collections and Smart Collections. Especially Smart Collections for what you are wanting to do. It is very a powerful feature of LR.
