In reply to Per. Not a fix really, as I don't think anything is broken. Save your book (click Create Saved Book), then drag the new photo to that saved book collection.

Hi, I have created a smart collection and based a photo book in the Book module on that collection. Fine. But if I add a new image to the smart collection the corresponding set of images in the Book module is not updated. Any fix for this?

I like this blog post and would like to link to it in some personal articles I created, but the images are incomplete and you have some strange symbols in your text. Any chance of updating this, or do you have a more recent blog post on the same subject? Thanks.

In reply to Andrew.

here’s one: If you have children, more than 1, and you tag the photos with their names, this is a way to find your group shots of them or combinations with each other.

Also a way to find photos of people in a particular location.

Depending on how one uses keywords, you can really go to town with it.

using holiday, day, night, vacation locale, events.

if you shoot nature, you can really gather together a meaningful cross section of your work – landscapes vs. macros, trees, flowers, color specification, season…. the choices are limitless.

I found a way to use Smart Collections the way I wanted! I needed to select all my photos that were in my master file named Nature. When I tried to create a Smart Collection it used all my photos – Nature, Personal, People, Other Artists, etc. Definitely not what I wanted. I then selected all the Nature photos and colored them Red. When I created the Smart Collection I told LR to Match All the rules – “Label Color is red” and “Develop > Has adjustments > false”. With this I was able to find just my original Nature photos that were original RAW without alteration. Worked for me.

In reply to Mike Nelson Pedde. This is a very interesting feature that I was unaware of Mike. Have you managed to come up with any practical applications for it? I have to admit that I can't think of any.
