Trouble in Library Filters - Attribute & Metadata

[DetectiveZito]

I am 99% sure that the issue I'm having stems from my own ignorance... but I'm struggling none-the-less....

I have a set of 12' images coded to a keyword we'll call "KEYWORD A". Of those 12' images, I have 2' TAGGED. I know there are a millions ways to find these images, but I am trying to use the Library Filters and not getting what I need, so I'd like to learn what I'm doing wrong.

With ALL PHOTOGRAPHS selected on the left hand side, I go up to the Library Filters and select METADATA.

I find the Keyword I am looking for an select it -- All 12' images appear in the window as desired. Great! But...

I then click ATTRIBUTE (to select only the flagged ones) and when I do The Keyword list in the METADATA grid is now much smaller. KEYWORD A is no longer even an option. Now, keep in mind I haven't selected ANYTHING in the ATTRIBUTE fields yet. It reads No Photos Match The Filter. What am I doing wrong?

I thought It would be as easy as selecting "KEYWORD A" and FLAGGED and I'd be able to see the 2' images in my library that match both that criteria -- but I'm doing something wrong.

Any advice from those with more experience than I?

Thanks!

Garrett, that seems right.

Here's a screen shot where I'm choosing photos with a keyword of 'Level II' , which are either Flagged or Unflagged (i.e. Not Rejected), with a rating of 3 stars or more.

Are you seeing something similar?

Brad -- I am taking great comfort right now in knowing I was right! I was 99% sure I was the cause of the problem and I was right!

After looking at your screenshot, I realized that my Star setting was set to "5"... I thought that the stars were all unselected... but when I saw your screenshot, it became clear to me that I infact, had them all selected (5 Stars).

Thank you for your time and assistance!
