Searching for a keyword in a hierarchy

  • February 2, 2017

Assume I have the following keyword hierarchy in LR CC.

Family

----Daughter

--------Granddaughter

Also assume that I assign the keyword Daughter to a photo and the keyword Granddaughter to another photo. Since LR assigns all of the keywords above the one I assign to a photo, is there any way to filter for Daughter and not get the photos for Granddaughter?

If not, any suggestions for structuring keywords to make this possible? Thanks.

      Thanks John. That's a very elegant solution.

      Grand-daughter may be a child of daughter in real life, but in the keyword hierarchy, grand-daughter should not be a child of the daughter, it should be at the same level as the daughter.
