I'm trying to create a Collection that will capture all the files I've performed actual photo editing on within last 'X' days. I've employed the following parameter row to define the task...
- 'Edit Date' , 'is in the last', 'some number', 'days' ( I plugin the desired number of days I wish to review each time)
When I plugged in 30 as the number of days, there were 7k+ images included in the Collection. Now, I have been doing a lot of editing lately, but not nearly that much. So clearly, my definition of what constitutes an 'edit' is decidedly different than how LR defines it. And I'm hoping someone can provide a little insight into what LR thinks should be included.
As some explanatory info...., I have been redoing my keyword structure in recent times, so it's not hard for me to believe I may have 'touched' 7K+ files and the metadata has been changed as a result of such activity. But there are a bajillion metadata changes that could occur to a file that have nothing to do with 'photo editing'. And that's ok if I can whittle things down with add'l parameter rows.
So, I'm wondering if there's another parameter row I can add to the Collection definition to filter the included images down to something closer to actual 'photo edits' performed. I've tried adding a row defined as 'Has Edits' / 'is true'. And that narrows the list down to 800+, but is clearly still catching some files I know I did not touch from a 'photo editing' perspective.
Any thoughts on other approaches that might be taken?
