discusses how to organize photos and find them fast using the Filter Bar.

Control filter behavior for a folder or collection

By default, filter behavior is not sticky. If you apply a filter to a folder or collection and then navigate away from that
folder or collection, the filter is cleared when you return to the original location.

• To control filters for a selected a folder or a collection, choose File > Library Filters and any of the following:

Enable Filters

: Turns on the last-used filters that were applied to the folder or collection.

Lock Filters

: Applies the current filters to subsequently selected folders or collections.

Remember Each Source’s Filters Separately

: Available when filters are locked. Applies the last-used filters for the

selected folder or collection.

• To make filters “stick” so that they are active when you return to a previously filtered folder or collection, choose File

> Library Filters > Lock Filters and then File > Library Filters > Remember Filters.

Selecting photos in the Grid view and the Filmstrip

You select photos in the Grid view that you want to work with in the Library or other modules. The photos you select
are reflected in the Filmstrip. Likewise, the specific photos selected in the Filmstrip are displayed in the Grid view.

When you select a photo, it becomes the active photo. You can select multiple photos, but only one photo at a time is
the active photo. Selected photos are indicated in the grid and the Filmstrip by a thin white border and a cell color that
is lighter than unselected photos. The lightest colored cell indicates the active photo.

When you have several photos selected, you can click any selected photo to make it active without deselecting the other
photos. If you click a photo outside the selection, it becomes the active photo, and all other photos are deselected.

When you have more than one photo selected in the Grid view and you make changes such as applying ratings, labels,
or adding metadata, those changes are applied to all of the selected photos.

When you have more than one photo selected in the Filmstrip and you’re in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, changes
such as applying ratings, labels, or adding metadata are applied only to the active photo.
