So here is the issue. I want to create a smart collection in Lightroom where I get all the photos from another collection that have either of two keywords. For a recent shoot, after pulling all the rejects, I created a collection of these images that spans a couple of days. The was a gymnastics event that my kids happened to be in. They were only a small part of the 3000 images that I took, but they were in specific sections of the show, so I found them and keyworded them. Now, how to create a smart collection of these images.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, that didn’t work. Notice the drop down for “Match”. If you set it to “any” then you get all images from the Spring Show collection. If you set it to “all”, the images have to have both Kate and Lily tags. I was stumped. Then I found that there is a little trick. Press and hold the Option\/Alt key. Notice that the plus signs next to the rules turn into a hash sign. Now when you press that hash sign, you get to define rules that operate independent of the first Match drop down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we get what we want. We first match on the “Spring Show” collection, then we match if either<\/strong> of the keywords belong to an image.<\/p>\n

You could use this any number of ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
