[QUOTE="Revet, post: 319587, member: 17612"] I did see that I could create my own Smart Collection but now that I look at your comment, I see that this is probably the way to go if the answer to my following question is yes. If I create Smart Collections for family members, will Lightroom automatically add them to the Smart Collection if it sees the keyword in the future when I add more photos??? Actually, you don't have to answer that because I just did a test and it does do that!!!! Nice, Thank you!!! Now that I have created Collections for my 80 or so family members and the pictures are all ready in each respective collection. Is there an easy way I can convert them to Smart collections or do I have to start from scratch (keeping the existing Collection Sets)?? I could use some help with searching rules for Keywords though. Lets say I have the following family members in a photo; John Reveley, John Uzzi, Randy Reveley. It seems like "contains words" is the best rule for finding all photos for John Reveley without getting all the John's (we have 7!!) or all the Reveley's. Is that correct?? ps. Suffering Cubs Fan??????? Try being a Browns or Indians Fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
