Hello

Can I sort photos by exposure?

For example, if I have a lot of photos in my shooting folder where the flash did not work and these photos are black, I need to quickly select them in order to delete.

Lightroom has this functionality?

Thank you!

Lightroom does not have this sort option. It would not work anyway, because the exposure settings will be the same for all photos, regardless of whether the flash worked or did not work.

Searching by using Facets in the Search Bar may help.

Type in the Facet Name, followed by a colon.

Here's the list of searchable options.

keyword:
camera:
lens:
location:
rating:
flag:
flash:
orientation:

iso:
type:
f-stop:
ss:

Unfortunately none of this works in this case.

Interesting. Why doesn't it work? Do the black photos not have "Flash: None"?
