A first look at the Metadata Browser.
Over on my Lightroom Blog I’ve posted a first look video on the Metadata Browser.
The Metadata Browser allows powerful searching inside a number of selected EXIF/IPTC fields: Lens, Camera, Creator, Date, File Type and Location. For people using Genre based folder systems the Date function is one the most important features, allowing you to select multiple dates using CMD/CTRL click.
Way to GO, Sean Buddy.
Keep up all the good work!

I love the power that Adobe is giving us but I am not sure when I would ever search / filter by lens type? I guess if Canon is looking for sample images using a certain piece of equipment, that would be helpful. It would be interesting to know who uses this and in what application.
It could be used to compare lenses, over even check that a lens’ quality has deteriorated and needs a service. You could also choose your Macro lens to quickly see this kind of image. A final example is to get all your fisheye lens shots together quickly.
I like it – I wish I could do this on flickr …
