p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Is this custom filter possible in LR?


I am looking to build a custom filter that will show me images that are unrated AND rated 3+ stars. From what I have gathered, this doesn't seem like it's possible.

Has anybody built a filter like this?

Hi oguruma

Use a Smart Collection. You can set up multiple criteria and set the mode to show images of any of the criteria. I think that should do it for you.

Thanks, for the input. I don't think a smart collection would work for me, though. I should have been more specific with my use case.

When doing a shoot in studio (tethered), I want to be able to proof images with clients during the shoot. Each shoot gets a folder (06-17-17 John_Doe_Portrait).

My rating system is

1-Star = delete, completely unusable image
2-Star = Probably unusable
3-Star = Meh. 50/50
4-Star = Usable

Red = Client doesn't like
Yellow = Client sort of likes
Green = Client Likes

So, say I have 20 images in that folder for that shoot. I want to show the unrated images, and anything rated 3 stars or higher.If I just filter > 3-stars, then they won't see the unrated images.

ok , Im not at my LR machine at the minute but if those paramaters won't work (I actually think you could filter like that in some way) . why not try to filter to NOT show 1 and 2 star images ?

I do think with some trial and error you can end up with a set of filter rules that work

Hi oguruma

OK there still is a simple way to do this.

- click on "|" to turn on the filters above the image(s) in Library mode
- Make sure "Metadata" Library Filter is selected
- Make sure one of the columns of filters is set to "ratings"
- As long as you have one of each rating type in the selected images, then they will all show up as options from which to filter. The bottom four are "3,4,5,unrated" and that gives you the desired filter

Hope that does it for you
