P: Please add smart albums

The current filtering feature is not powerful enough. I'd like Lightroom CC to have advanced filtering, which should support the following functionalities:

• Conjunction (and): showing photos that satisfy all the requirements
• Disjunction (or): showing photos that satisfy any of the requirements
• Negation (not): showing photos that do not satisfy the requirements
• Composition of the above logical connectives.

It will also be great if we can saved those advanced filtering. This will be one step towards implementing smart albums.

FYI: both Capture One Apple Photos app have advanced filtering (and smart album). Since Lightroom CC is using SQLite so I assume the backend implementation should not be difficult.  

I also suggest advanced filtering to be an icon above the Keyword icon on the bottom right corner. When activated, there should be a side panel come out. Users can then add advanced filtering based on metadata, keywords, folders, etc.

I could look something like the filtering in Numbers app.

+1 it's absolute must

Another +1. Is anyone at Adobe reading this? Would be great to hear if it's a plan and if not, why the priority is made. I just migrated, and didn't imagine that I could not make smart albums. 😞 Now I don't know what to do. Very frustrating.

+ 1 for this suggestion. I miss the smart collections. 

Agree

“no changes sync from LRC C to Portfolia “

The changes do sync but you have to updates or “reset” your page on your Portfolio

LR is full of disruptions of otherwise great apps:
- no Metadata Sync from LR Classc to LR CC
- no Smartfolders
- no changes sync fom LR CC to Portfolio 
- upload from LR CC to Portfolio only description possible not file names

why do they make life so difficult? Everything is here to have a great surrounding to share and collaborate...

I need these so bad. I’ve always used one to show photos that are not currently in an album. So useful. I’ve used several others too. Seems crazy they havne’t added them.

it is so obvious. Did you see you can't print using CC? 

For Lightroom CC, we should have the ability to create smart albums.
