[QUOTE="Revet, post: 321413, member: 17612"] I played around with the search function of a Collection Set. There are Many Many Many ways to search for photos so you can just about do anything you want. Here is what worked for this particular situation (Again I wanted all birthday pictures of myself). It took three rules, one to search for the Keyword John Reveley, another for the keyword Birthday. This was not enough because it would pick up photos I am in for other peoples birthday. What finally worked is a third rule looking for -09- in folders (since I use dates for folders and September is my birthday month). Note that I had to use -09- and not 09 or -09. This allowed picking up the month only and not the 9th day of any month. Once I get all of the Collections set up, no work involved after that, just keyword them. Love it, thanks for your help!! It really helps that I use my second copy of Lightroom for playing around. I know its not a destructive program and you can change anything you did, but sometimes I can't find what I did!!!!!! I can click anything I like in my practice Lightroom and not have to worry. [/QUOTE]
