Question

Smart collection with the difference between two collections

I have two collections:

"source" with 150 images

"edited" with 106 images
These 106 images are part of the "source" collection.

 

Question: how can I create a smart collection with the difference between these two collection.
This smart collection should contain the 44 images that are in the "source" but not in the "edited" collection.

For the purposes of this example, the collection with 150 images is called "Collection A" and the collection with 106 image is called "Collection B"

 

Create a smart collection where the rules are that the Collection Contains All "Collection A" and Collection doesn't contain "Collection B"

    Hi dj_paige,

    Thank you for your answer.

    However I can't get it to work.

    I.m.h.o. "contains all" and "doesn't contain" apply the name given and not to the contents of the collection.
    Or am I mixing things?

    Show me a screen capture of what you did in the Smart Collection definition. Use the "Insert Photos" icon; do NOT attach files.
