Title: Search for a certain lens?
Post by: richard49 on October 18, 2018, 12:05:13 AM
I'm attempting to search through all of my images to find which images were taken with a certain lens and can't find out how to do so...

Perhaps you know how to?

Regards,
Richard

In the Category view, check for IMatch Standard Categories/Image Files/Lens. It should include all of the lenses in your database.

Obviously it was under Standard Categories, ...  ???

Glad that helped! One of the fun things about IMatch is discovering all the (many) things it can do.

Tip: You can also use the Standard Categories (or the Workflow Categories) or any category as a filter in the Filter Panel (see Categories (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#panel_filter.htm?dl=h-22)).

Tip: You can combine categories quickly via the The Category @Builder (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#cat_builder.htm) to see which camera and lens you use in combination, which photos you took with which lens on a specific location ...

Also as a side note and while this isn't what you specifically asked for I've found the statistics panel to be very useful for when I want to know which of my lenses gets used the most.
