I have some wedding photos tagged 'our-wedding' and the Black & white versions are tagged 'b&w'

how can I type a search to show all photos from my wedding that aren't b&w ?

I tried - , NOT but couldn't figure out if it was possible?

    1. Filter for keyword “Our Wedding” and select all the photos (Ctrl+A or Cmd+A)
    2. Click the plus icon to the right of Albums and create a new album to include the selected photos.
    3. Filter the album for keyword B&W and select all (Ctrl+A or Cmd+A)
    4. Right click on one of the Selected B&W photos and choose to remove that number of photos.
    5. You are left with the color images.

    You can treat this as a temporary album if preferred. Nothing is permanently deleted.

    Hi planetf1,

    I can't really think of a way to achieve this with a keyboard shortcut/filter/keyword in Lightroom CC. However, we'd love to get this request and feedback submitted officially as a feature request so the engineering team can get this recorded. Could you please post this feedback here: Lightroom CC for Desktop | Photoshop Family Customer Community

    Thanks,

    Akash
