How do I find all of the photos that do NOT contain a specific person tag?

I am scanning my old photos and slides and organizing them with Photoshop Elements 12.   I have recently started taging the pictures with family names.   I see from this forum that I can search for untagged pictures but how can I find all the pictures that do NOT contain the "Smith" family tag but might contain the "Jones" family tag?  Some pictures will be marked with more than one family name.  The "Find by Details" option defaults to "includes" for keywords and people.  There is no way to set it to "not includes".
I am running PSE12 on Windows 7 Professional on a Dell XPS desktop.
Thanks for any suggestions.

The workaround is often to create a temporary tag for pictures not having a given keyword. Even with a very big catalog, tagging nearly all images is astonishly quick. You select based on the keyword, then use the option to show 'non matching' items, and assign them another (negative) keyword.

  • HT4859 How do I find and access the photos that are bumped from my iphone to the icloud?

    The photos on my iphone keep disappearing, I think because of the storage limits on the phone.  My understanding was they were being stored "on the cloud," but I can't figure out how to find them.  I have it installed on my iphone 4 and on my PC.  Please tell me they aren't gone forever!  Thanks.

    Re-sync your device to iTunes and uncheck Sync under Photos.

  • How do I remove all of the photos that have been imported and start over. The photo did not import into folders by date

    When I imported the photos, I thought I had it set to import them into folders but it didn't happen. I have one file of 10000+ photos in the same folder. I would likede to start over, remove what has been imported (not delete) and start over importing them into folder that I choose rather than all in one.

    Okay - but after that..
    I followed the instruction in the tutorial and did the following:
    Click Import (Existing Files)
    Select source - (pictures appear in grid)
    include sub-folders if appropriate
    Select “add”
    File Handling - Changed build preview to standard
    Apply During Import - Nothing added
    Add keywords - Added keywords
    Import (Tutorial says to click “Import” but import is greyed out and not available)
    What am I missing? The destination information does not appear. I tried selecting that before I clicked "Import" but that didn't help..

  • How do I find all tracks in library that are not in my playlists?

    What's the very best way to find all tracks in your library that are not in your playlists? I only use playlists to show the tracks that i use.. unfortunately I have many extra unwanted tracks buried in my library now because I did not know you could option+delete to delete library tracks from a playlist.

    oh dear.. it makes a TEXT FILE?
    I guess if it put them in a playlist then they'd be in a playlist so shouldn't be in the playlist... Ow my head hurts!
    How about this as an idea? Create a new top level playlist folder, call it *All Playlists*, then move all your existing folders & playlists inside this folder. Create a new top level smart playlist ( outside of *All Playlists* ) with the rules:
    Playlist is Music AND
    Playlist is not All Playlists
    Call it *Unlisted Temp*
    Create a new top level regular playlist called Unlisted, select all the tracks in *Unlisted Temp* and drag them into Unlisted. You can now delete *Unlisted Temp*, move all your folders & playlists back to their original places and delete the *All Playlists* folder.

  • I have a 5s phone.  How do I download ALL of the photos from my phone?  When I downloaded all of them, just the photos on Camera Roll were downloaded.  The photos in the folders were still there. Any help will be appreciated. Rosemary

  • HT204053 I have just bought a new iPad but I can't see how I can sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on the iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on).  But getting the photos back from a backup is risky.  Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned.  icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album).  You can then sync the photos to the iPad.

  • How can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

    how can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

    You can use the Settings in the slideshow to Show Captions,  either the Description filed be display, the Title field or both.
    If you create the slideshow in iDVD from still photos from iPhoto you can add the Description and/or Title via the settings in iDVD.
    Since iDVD adds both automatically the user must go thru the slideshow and remove those items not wanted.

  • How do i find all of the music i downloaded from my iphone after my iphone was stolen?

    I am now an Android user and I have just DL'd iTunes onto my Windows laptop. I need to find all of the music I paid for through iTunes. Currently it is downloading some music that was in the middle of the DL when the phone was stolen but that is all I see. I'm not terribly familiar with iTunes.

    I should also state that I never used iTunes outside of my iPhone. I didn't own a computer at that time and the phone was my only connection.

  • How can I filter messages that do NOT contain a specific word in the subject?

    I want to do the opposite of what filtering normally does. I want to filter out messages that do not contain a word or a string.
    For example, I want to display emails that do not contain the word "meeting" in the subject.
    Is this possible? If so, how can it be done?

    It's not built in. The TotalQuickFilter extension allows NOT and lots of other filter features:

  • I recently transferred some photos from an old ipad to a new ipad using the app "simpletransfer", all of the photos that transfered however, saved into my photostream and turned my photostream on. does anyone know anything about this app because i have no

    other idea as to how the photos i transferred ended up on my photo stream, which i had initially turned off.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photo stream simply synchronises your photos between all your devices. If you don't want to use it, disable it at settings > iCloud, it won't affect any photos in your camera roll.

  • How do I find all pictures and videos that are in email files?

    I am trying to find and extract all pictures and videos that people have sent me in emails (and in other parts of the computer but not in the pictures area) over the years to copy them into my aperture collection.  Does anyone know how to do that.  I use Outlook 2011.  X1 on the PC can do this with a preview of the pictures so you can remove all small gifs etc.
    Thanks!

    You'll have to search the web and see if anyone's offering the videos you want. Videos from the 80s are unlikely to be legally available, but you could get lucky.
    BTW, for future questions, try posting in the iTunes for Windows forum. You'll be more likely to get help there than you will here in the iTunes for Mac forum.

  • How do i find out what the inforamtion that is stored under "other" in my ipad2 is?

    I have just backed up my ipad and i noticed that there was an massavie amount of storage used by the "other" in storage.  I was wondering if there is anyway that i can find out what it is and how can i delete some of the information to free up space on my ipad?

    What is "Other"
    It’s generally a combination of local caches from apps, browsers, mail, Messages, Reading List, saved games, app-specific documents and data, notes, and voice memos.
    You can backup and restore to reduce "other" but they will start building up over time.

  • Where can I find the photos that were not import in iPhoto library?

    Hi,

    Go to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) and right click on it - show package contents - find a folder names import or importing and drag it to the desktop (do not make any other changes of any sort) - close the package and launch iPhoto - you should be find - check the import(ing) folder on the desktop and if it has any photos in it you want import them then trash the fokder

  • On my new ipad air, my photostream turned itself on, but i didnt want to have my photos go to my photostream, is there any way i could turn off the photostream without having to delete all of the photos that are already on the ipad?

    HELP!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you turn off photo stream it will only remove the photo stream album, it won't remove photos from your camera roll.
