Some of what you'd want to search for isn't really a tag at all. Nobody wants to tag every landscape photo "landscape", or every four-star shot "four stars". Filters cover that ground for you: each one is worked out from the file itself, ready to click, with nothing to set up.
You'll find them as four icons to the right of the search bar, and all of them together in the panel that opens when you click the search box.
File properties
- Type - images or video.
- Format - jpg, png, mp4 and so on. Only the formats actually in your library show up.
- Orientation - landscape, portrait or square.
- Resolution - thumbnail, low-res, medium-res or high-res.
- File size - up to 1MB, 1MB+, 10MB+, 100MB+ or 1GB+.
- Rating - one to five stars, or unrated. See Asset ratings.
- Tags - untagged files, for finding whatever has slipped through.
Date
- Created at - when the file was made. Today, past week, past month, past year, or a date you pick.
- Uploaded at - when it arrived in Tagbox, with the same choices.
- Uploaded by - which member of your workspace added it.
The two dates are worth keeping straight: a photo shot in 2019 and uploaded last week is recent by upload date and old by creation date.
People
- People in images - narrow to a specific face. See Face recognition.
- Emotions - positive, neutral or negative.
- Gender - male, female or both.
- Number of people - none, one, two, or three and up. None is the quick way to find product shots with nobody in them.
- Age - infants, children, teens, 20s through 60s, and older.
- Head pose - straight, sideways, up, down or tilted.
Style
- Styles - warm, cold, bright, dark, solid background or blurry background.
- Colors - red, orange, brown, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, white, grey and black.
Between them, these are how you find an asset that will sit properly on the layout you're designing, rather than one that's merely on-topic.
Filters are exact
A filter is a hard boundary, not a suggestion. Ask for landscape and you get landscape. That's the difference between filters and AI Visual Search: search is deliberately fuzzy and will show you near misses, a filter never will. If a filter comes back empty, nothing in your library matches it.
Stacking, and starting over
Filters combine with each other, with tags, and with free text. So you can ask for landscape photos of one person, on a solid background, uploaded this month, rated four stars or better - and get exactly that.
To clear everything at once and go back to your full library, click the tagbox logo in the top left.
