Tip:

When filtering by a date, you can narrow your results to a specific date or range. Or you can enter a custom date range. Use the drop-down menu below the date taken or added selection to choose an option.

You can apply multiple filters at once. If you don't see any photos or videos after applying a filter, that means no files in the project match your criteria. Click Clear to clear your filters and try again.
