Adobe Lightroom Classic sorting files

[Sandr999]

Hi everybody,

I have about a couple of thousand files that been edited on Lightroom.
Some of them I made as black & white and sepia.
My client wants all black and whites and sepias also in color.

Is there any filter to show all black and whites in the library that I can turn them back to color in one or two clicks?
Thanks in advance.

1. If the Library Filter bar isn't showing, do the menu command View > Show Filter Bar. (See the menu item for the keyboard shortcut.)

2. Click Metadata and change the first column of the metadata browser to be Treatment:

You can also create a smart collection using the Treatment criterion.

Thank you very much!
That what I was looking for!

Some suggestions-

Finding the B&W images may need some manual selecting, but a Smart Collection might make it easier. (But I am not really good defining SCs!)

Edit: I like John's Metadata Filter better!  It will work as the Folder level.

But when you do find the B&W, sepia, files- do not turn them back to color, instead-

1) Select all the B&Ws,

2) create Virtual Copies [Ctrl+'], (the VCs are now selected!),

3) in Develop- turn on [AutoSync]

4) click on [Color].

    

Now you have both versions to export. The master previews as B&W, the VCs as Color.

Thanks a lot.
It's very cool.
Saved my time.
