I always enjoy your videos even though I still use Lightroom Classic. LR keeps improving but I'm a classic guy. The biggest deterrent for going LR is you really need more cloud storage even if you don't sync all your photos. For me the added cost doesn't justify LR.
I really wish Adobe would bring collections (like we have in Bridge and LR Classic) to LR Desktop that we can use for non-cloud (local storage). I mean Bridge has this so why can't the new LIghtroom Desktop program have it (as it's more or less a glorified version of Bridge+ACR from the RAW processing and file management aspect, it's just missing collections or albums for local storage -- this could be very useful for some people and is very useful in LR Classic even if you still use the Folders panel in LR Classic to sift through your photos). It would allow people to have collections of photos that don't physically exist in the same location, to at least appear that way (again, this is what Bridge can do with it's Collections/Smart Collections function).
Thanks,. Thank you for clarifying that when one Selects multiple values in a Single Smart Album Rule it produces an "OR" result not an "AND" result. Any thoughts on how to search ALL photos for those without keywords? I am a Keyword person. Also "lightroom Everywhere" very useful.
Just to clarify, smart albums uses an “AND” rule. We currently don’t have the option to specify other operators. If I said OR in the video, then it was in error and I apologize. I should see if I can append a text overlay to clarify that.
I have always liked Smart Collections (in LrC), but they get out of control quickly once you realize the power of the search. I end up making so many of them and then find that I didn't really need them in the first place. Then I devise a system for using stars and color labels to use in the searches and either forget the system or don't stay consistent with it and end up making another mess. It is very hard to get organized properly. I don't think I could survive without my keywords, especially for my bird photography. I don't know if Sensei is developed enough to identify specific species.
Wow, thats great for me, thanks Brian!
Great video as always, thank you!!!

To bad it only works in the cloud, or do i mis something?
Helpful, but unfortunately smart albums doesn't work in the iPad version.
I mention that very clearly in the intro of this video.
