Searching for "portrait" images

[tspear]

Lightroom Version Number

7.5 Classic

Operating System

1. Windows 10

Here is a new one, and not one I considered when setting up my catalog.
I have setup an export of images for my grandmother, however she asked to further refine them to ones which are "close ups", e.g. portrait style.
I have played around with focal range, but that does not seem to give good results; or at least ones I can figure out!

Any suggestions on how to filter the images down?

To clarify, you do not want to differentiate between portrait orientation and landscape orientation — you want to differentiate between Photos that show "mostly head" and ones that show "more background than head"?

That is going to end up being a manual distinction (afaict). There are many ways to do it. The best will depend on how you use the group you are creating.

Correct, my grandma is mostly interested in images that show mostly people not background.
If manual, I will just do it outside Lr. (well my aunt will, she volunteered)

Whatever best fits your need ... but simply gang-selecting them in Grid View and applying a marker (flag, color label, keyword), or adding to a Collection is one of the things that is very easy to do in Lightroom.

I am aware of them. But like I said, my aunt volunteered to do it. And teaching her Lr, installing it, copying the data.....

I thought you have previously posted how to get the facial region data....
I was thinking this morning of this issue in the thread. I had an epiphany, but not sure it would work. What about using a ratio of the facial tag area compared to the image resolution? So I could define a metric which says anything less then 5% facial region data is dominated by background...
