Hello, I am trying to find a consecutive list of the photos that I opened today in Lightroom from different folders. I tried doing a search on Google, but no results. The strange thing is, somehow I clicked on something in Lightroom and a list showed up of all the photos I had opened this afternoon. I accidentally closed the list window and now I cannot find where I accessed this list. I would very much appreciate any help on this. thank you

There is no ‘Recently Opened Photos’ menu like there is in Photoshop, but you can filter on things like recently edited photos.

Yes, that is how to do it. Unlike Photoshop, images are not ‘opened’ in Lightroom Classic. When you view an image, you just look at the preview. Lightroom keeps no record of viewing previews. That means you cannot search for images that were only viewed but not edited in any way.

While some would say keeping an internal 'bread crumb' list would solve this problem it only works if you defined what is 'viewed'. Do you count all photos presented in a GRID view or only those viewed in LOUPE?
Thank you both very much.
