There are some very useful searching tools in the Photos application. The computer is able to recognize object in your pictures, allowing you to search using thousands of keywords to quickly locate specific photos. If you want to search for objects that the computer does not automatically recognize, you can manually add keywords to your pictures.
- [Narrator] In this movie, I want to talk about…the tools that you have for searching through your…collection in the photos library.…The first thing you need to understand…is that Apple has added some impressive…image recognition technology under the hood,…which gives the photos application the ability…to literally recognize people and objects…in your photos.…When you import your photos, the computer…will scan them and will identify objects in your pictures…from a list of thousands of possible keywords.…So, what does this do for you?…Well, it allows you to search using an impressive…amount of keywords.…
For example, I'm here in my main photos library.…I'm going to click on the search field…in the top right, and I'm just going to search for a word.…I'll search for the word mountain.…You can see it found some results and it found…them very quickly.…You can see it found 23 pictures in my library.…From here, I can either click on this…or I can hit return and it shows me those search results.…Of course, I can double click on one of these pictures…
