Apple Macintosh PhotoFlash - Manual (Page 31)

3 Select the search options you want.
The default settings cause PhotoFlash to search only one catalog and to
highlight the selected images in that catalog. It’s usually a good idea to select
the Put Results in New Catalog option, because PhotoFlash sorts the
thumbnails in the new catalog in order of their similarity to the sketch.
4 Click OK or press Return.
When the search is complete, PhotoFlash selects the matching thumbnails in
their original catalogs or, if you selected the Put Results in New Catalog
checkbox, creates a new untitled catalog containing copies of all the matching
thumbnails, starting with those that most closely resemble the sketch on
which the search was based.
Searching for similar images
You can use the Similar Images command in the Search menu to search for
catalog images that resemble a specific image. The Similar Images command
can identify general similarities based on color, but may not always be able to
locate an individual image. However, it’s worth trying if you don’t know
anything about the image’s caption or filename. It’s also useful if you want to
identify several images with similar colors or compositions.
