Find photos using capture dates
The Find panel lets you search for photos by specifying a capture date range. Lightroom only displays photos in the
catalog that fall within the range you set. To further refine your search, you can combine the capture date range with
a text search.
1 In the Find panel of the Library module, make sure With Capture Date is selected.
Choose an option from the With Capture Date pop-up menu to set the range for finding photos.

3 Drag the timeline end-point markers to view a custom capture date range.
Find photos using collections
Besides letting you e and organize photos, selecting collections provides a way to find specific photos.
1 In the Collections panel, select one or more items.
The photos in the collections are displayed in the Grid view and the Filmstrip. Selecting any parent collection
includes its children. However, selecting a child collection does not simultaneously select its parent.
(Optional) To refine your search, specify keyword text or a capture date range in the Find panel.
