Tags, ratings and search
Organize photos with tags and star ratings, and combine filters to find exactly what you need.
When a library grows into the thousands, scrolling isn't enough. Lightokay lets you describe photos with tags and ratings and combine filters to find them again.
Tags
Tags describe what a photo is, independent of which folder it's in:
- Style: moody, film look, high contrast
- Subject: portrait, product, architecture, event
- Work: client name, project code, use (cover, poster, short video)
- Status: to review, final, rejected
Tips: start with a few stable tag groups, keep meanings from overlapping, and tag a new batch right after you add it.
Ratings
Give photos star ratings while culling, then filter to show only your best frames.
Filters you can combine
- Tags and ratings
- Dominant color and color index
- File format
- Date and date range
- File size and dimensions
- Orientation (landscape, portrait, square)
- Search by file name
A typical workflow
- Narrow down to the current project with a folder or tag.
- Use the color filter to match a look.
- Search for a specific file name.
- Open the preview to check details, then export or drag the files where you need them.
