Working with Filters: Peakto’s Advanced Filtering Features

2.3 Working with filters

1. Working with filters

Filters are a great way to find images by restricting the scope via some criteria.
Peakto supports 2 ways of filtering in the user interface:
  1. via the Filter Bar underneath the toolbar. This bar can be shown or hidden using the Filter icon next to the search field.
  2. Via the Middle Panel to create powerful filters based on dates, keywords, faces and structures

1.1. The Filter Bar 

The Filter bar gives you access to the most common filters and lets you sort the view based on a variety of image properties



1.2. The Middle Panel

The Middle Panel contains a variety of filter criteria and is shown/hidden by clicking on one of the 4 categories, which are:



  1. Structure: this panel contains all the structural elements that are read from the underlying catalogs such as collections, folders, projects. In the case of File System folders, the structure panel shows the subfolders of the top watched folder.
  2. Dates: all the dates of the images, organised by year / month and day
  3. Keywords: all the keywords from the underlying catalog, including hierarchical relations
  4. Faces: all the faces from the underlying catalog

1.3. Saving filters

Filters cannot be saved as such,  but you can create Smart Albums based on a combination of such filters.
