Question

Find by Details (Metadata): ISO

I'm currently using PSE 2024 and I'm trying to find photos that were shot at a certain ISO speed and the only options are preset at 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1200, 1600. I have Nikon Z50 and my ISO speeds are many and  go much higher. 

How I find a specific ISO number 280? 360? 4000? and not a range?

Lightroom classic does it, easy peasy.  It's part of the basic Photography plan- I only pay $10.84 a month for it- I get lightroom classic and photoshop-- best money ever spent. 

I only imported only 1 library to save time, that's why there are not that many ISO numbers. 

I also have no idea what ISO stands for, nore do I care to even search it on google (I know it's got something to do with lighting).   I can bob my head up and down and say things like "Lens apature" "F-stop" and "ISO" like I know what I'm talking about- but all I do is Point and shoot- I might worry about focus every now and then just for fun.

I imported a test library of images, about 4,700 total- the iso numbers are much bigger-   You choose what you want displayed.




FACT:  I have zero idea what ISO even stands for.

Hmmm . . .  after reading your post more closely, it looks like you already know what Michel has suggested and is demonstrated in my screenshot.  It looks like the highest ISO is 1600 and that there is no option to customize the number.  I just tried the >1600 option and it seems to find files by that criterion.   There may be some text file that can be modifed to add a specific other ISO, but that is beyond my paygrade.

@MichelBParis, I haven't looked myself, but is there a possibility to make that search in Bridge?

Hi Greg, I don't know if there is a way in Bridge, but I remember using an external  free software, I believe it was exposure plot. That was more than ten years ago...

The search by details allows to define a range of ISO values. Just change the 'IS' option for the "range" option.

I know I can do a range, but I was looking for a specific ISO number.
