Finding all photos not in any album

Hello,
I am a user of PE10.
I imported about 7000 photographs and am organizing them into albums. To ensure I assign all photos to at least one album I would like to display all unassigned photos, i.e. photos not in any album yet, so that I can assign the to albums.
Right now I have to click "Show All" and scroll through 7000 pictures to find ones I have not assigned yet :-( very tedious.
Is there anyway to show only unassigned pgotographs?
TIA,
Herman

  In thumbnail view click Show All or launch the Organizer from scratch.
Then click the Find menu and choose the criteria you need.

  • Identifying Photos Not in Any Album

    Is there a way to create a filter that will list/identify all photos in the iPhoto library that are not associated with an album?

    Yes, well my question is why can't I associate my smart album with a PARTICULAR album or folder, rather than "any." In iTunes I have a bunch of albums and I can point my smart list at any one of them, in a text box, but iPhoto only offers me a pull-down menu, which offers only "any" This seems crazy and wrong.
    Any tips?

  • IPhoto '11 - Create album of photos NOT in any Smart Album

    I've searched these forums and couldn't find anything to help me out.  I'm using iPhoto '11, and have converted all my albums to smart albums, primarily using keywords.  In my old scenario, using albums, I could create a "to file" album of photos that are not in any albums. 
    However, now that I'm using smart albums, there doesn't seem to be a way to identify a way of finding photos that are not in any pre-defined smart album? 
    Most of my smart albums rely on two or more keywords (ie. date and event), so I can't use the logic "if it has a keyword", that doesn't get photos missing from any smart album.
    Any suggestions on manual or automated ways to do this?  It would be nice to have a 'photo not in a smart album' criteria.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jon

    No. A Smart Album is really a list of images found in response to a search. So you're looking for images not found by another search, and that's not a criterion for a Smart Album.

  • How to find all photos that have NO faces, as opposed to UNNAMED faces?

    I find that iPhoto often misses faces entirely, especially if the face is wearing sunglasses or a hat or both.  Sometimes it is rather inexplicable that it has missed a face, as the face seems obvious.
    If you use the smart album method to find all "unnamed" faces, the photos have at least one unnamed face identified.  You can then add any missed faces to those photos.
    But what about photos in which iPhoto has failed to identify the existence of even one face?  Or for that matter, if I want to see only pictures of landscapes or objects that have no people?  Does anyone have a method for finding all photos that have no faces in them at all?
    For me, the idea is to find all unidentified faces and add them.  But as I pointed out above, there may be other uses for this.
    Any ideas, anyone?
    Thanks

    Awesome !!! Thank you very much. I did not realize you could use JavaScript to code against iTunes ...
    I don't know if you have written any of these yourself, but do you know how to maybe create a smart playlist with this information via script? If not, no big deal. At least I know have something which I can use, I will just have to run it every so often.
    Thanks again for pointing me to that site!

  • PSE7: Find all photos with any caption?

    I'm running PSE7.
    I have a sub-set of my images selected via a tag.
    Now I want to find all of images in that set that have any caption at all.
    So I do a Find/By Caption or Note.
    Now in the next dialog box is there some way that I can enter a wild card or something
    that will find any image that has anything in it at all?
    Thanks for any help!

    Ouch!!
    Well, I understand the solution you described.
    Let me back up a bit. And describe what I'm trying to accomplish.
    I take a bunch of pictures and I bring them in Organizer.
    I go through them quickly adding 'notes' to them.
    Who the people are, where this is, etc. etc.
    I just add them in the Caption because that is a single click in Organizer.
    Very easy.
    But I don't add captions to every image.
    Later I go back and I want to add Text to these images in Editor.
    Basically, I want to permanently include my 'notes' with these images.
    So anytime someone views or prints the jpeg they are going to see my notes.
    So my original question was how I can select that group of captioned images
    in Organizer. Then I was going to Ctrl-i and get them all into Editor.
    But maybe there is another way for me to select just those images?
    In Organizer, it seems the only way I can 'see' the captions is when the image
    is in 'Single Photo View'. Which is ok. But as far as I can tell, when I am in
    Single Photo View I can't 'Select' that image. Maybe I'm missing something.
    Anyway, if I could Select that image, then I would just move through the rest
    of my images in Organizer. When I saw another captioned one I would want
    to do the equivalent of Ctrl-click. Adding that image to the other images that
    I have selected.
    Well, that's the story. Is there another way I can skin this cat?
    Thanks!

  • Finding all photos that include a particular person whether their face appears or not

    Faces is a great way to locate all photos where someone's face appears.  But what about photos that the person is in, but their face is not (e.g., the photo was taken from behind the person)?  What's the best way to tag photos so that I'll be able to have all photos that contain Person X together, whether their face is in the photo or not?  (Note: I know I could use Faces to add a face to the back of someone's head - that would get that picture to appear in Faces for that person, but would likely mess up the face recognition for that person).
    My current thought is to use keywords to tag those photos with the names of people who appear in photos without their face showing.  I could then create a Smart Album that includes all photos that contain a Face or Keyword for Person X.  Is there a better way to accomplish this?

    (Note: I know I could use Faces to add a face to the back of someone's head - that would get that picture to appear in Faces for that person, but would likely mess up the face recognition for that person).
    That will not mess up the face recognition. iPhoto will only use the faces that have been automatically found by iPhoto to learn the parameters for the recognition of the person. So you can include any part of the person to get the photot in the Faces stack on the cork board.

    That is fine, but does not give you access by using the Faces view.

  • Photos not displaying in albums

    Anyone know how to fix this?
    All my pictures seem to have been imported from my iPhotos library into the new Photos app - I can see them under the photos tab (by date) and also under the album tab, I can see them in the ALL PHOTOS album.  However the pictures that are in the All Photos album are not appearing in their own album (but some are) - as per this screen shot.
    And when I open any of the greyed out albums, it looks like this:-
    Has anyone else experienced this?  And how can I fix it?

    Yes it's very frustrating, I have the same problem. Its also only started happening recently, I've asked the sender had he changed any settings on his side but he hadn't. I would love a solution to this.

  • How do I find all photos that can be '"reverted to original"? Help please!

    Hi. I hope that someone can help me with this!
    I am trying to go through my iPhoto Library of about 1000 photos and find all of the photos that have the option to be "reverted to original", ie. I have made changes to them. I realise that I could go through them one by one, but I am trying to avoid that!
    I have realised recently that I should duplicate a photo before changing it, so that I leave the original untouched. However this doesn't help me with all of the old ones that I DIDN'T duplicate.
    Is there an Applescript or a method of finding all of the old photos that I am looking for?
    Thanks so much in advance for any help,
    Fleur

    I don't think it can be done from within iPhoto but there's a way you can do it from outside. First download and launch QPict. Then do the following;
    1 - open your iPhoto Library folder and type Command-F.
    2 - in the search window create these two search criteria:
    a - Kind is Folder
    b - Name contains Original
    3 - In the search results window click on the size column to separate the empty folders from those with files in them.
    4 - select all of the folder that are not empty and drag into the open window of QPict.
    That will open the original files in QPict so you can view them there and compare to those in iPhoto. Just remember do not move any of those folders out of the iPhoto Library folder. Just move them into the open window of QPict.

  • How do I get LR4 to find all photos in catalog after replacing hard drive on mac? question marks all

    I had the hard drive replaced on my mac.  I did a restore from back up drive to my new hard drive.  First LR4 couldn't find the catalog so I pointed to it. Then I opened lightroom 4 and it cannot see ANY of my photos. I don't want to link each folder full of photos it will take hours. Isn't there another way to do this so it finds them all at once?  Photos are still located in the same location on the new hard drive after restore.  Nothing changed except the hard drive.  Thank you!

    I did find something in another post that suggests to go to the top most file in the structure and right click and click on "find missing folder" then you point to that folder and it will find all subfolders and photos.   This really worked well for most of the photos but I have I must have moved at some point that I will have to relocate.  This is good information whether you are working with a Mac or a PC. I think it would work for either.  I hope this helps someone else out there.

  • Photo app on ipad randomly switches to photos not in the album

    I added a new album of photos from my pc to my itunes to use as a slideshow to showcase specific photots. It is the oddest thing, part way through the slideshow it will randomly pull photos not included in the album and show them in the slideshow. Has anyone else encountered this or know why the ipad photo app might be doing this?

    Unfortunately, photo stream on a PC is iffy at best.  Many people have problems getting it to work properly, including myself.  A work around would be to use an app like PhotoSync on your PC, which can send photos wirelessly to the camera roll on any of your iOS devices on the same wifi network.  Once in the camera roll, you iOS device will be added to your photo stream.

  • How to search which image is not in any albums within a project?

    I've created several albums under a project and I would like to see if there's any images that is not being placed in any album yet. I can see there's a 'do not match' option in the search box but I am not sure use it.
    Many thanks.

    What I would do is to give all images in the albums a unique keyword and then set up a filter that;
    1. Match
    2. Keywords > "do not include any of the following" (and then check the keyword given to all the images inside the albums).
    Aperture will then return all the images that does not match that particular keyword.
    To have full control of these all the time, I would set the filter up in a Smart Album always showing me those images not part of other albums.

  • Photo library?? all photos not available

    Hi!
    I switched to the iCloud Photo library to save storage on my phone and iPad
    Every photo of mine is in iPhoto and iCloud, however I can not "see" older photos NOT taken on phone and iPad in the Photos app (on phone and iPad)
    Is this due to iCloud Photo library being beta, or is there a setting I am missing??
    if due to beta, will this functionality work soon?
    thx for your help!

    correction!!! all of my photos are NOT on iCloud, but they are in iPhoto on my Mac
