How to find recently edited files?

Picturequest Mar 17, 2014 1:08 PM

Hi gang!

I have a lot of images in my library. Last night I was working on a picture, I had to force restart the computer this morning.

Just wondering if there is a way like "previous import" to show the images "Developed"

I don't use smart collections much. Could that be set up as an attribute? Like the way Itunes has last played in decending order. That could be VERY helpful.

I'll have to scroll through 5,000 images now to find it and export to PS for some final work.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Max

Create a smart collection with Edit Date in the last day.

Or you can sort by Edit Time.

You can create a smart for this but for some reason the Edit Date criteria is buggy. The number of photos in the grid and the number shown on the panel get out of sync. The number of photos in the grid seem like the correct number.

This article on my workflow smart collections may give you a few ideas along the same lines.

I've not seen the bugginess that Bob mentions, but it used to be possible to use smart collections to find images in the last x hours. Sadly Adobe withdrew the hours criterion in Lr5 because of a bug, but I often found it handy and so it remains in my workflow smart collections.
