Any of these words — images which contain any of these keywords will be selected.
All of these words — only images which contain all these keywords will be selected.
Precise phrase — only those images which contain this exact phrase will be selected.
None of these words — if an image has one or more of these words in its keywords, it will not be selected.
Search by photographer
Input a photographer's name — all or part of it, e.g. Angharad Rhys-Jones or simply Angharad — and Pro Search will display all images by that member. The more precise you are the better; there may be more than one John Smith.
Options
You can filter your search to exclude images below a certain file size and / or resolution.
Category search allows a quick sweep over a broad selection of images, for example Architecture> Follies.
Rights Managed / Royalty Free restricts the search to view only those types of image rights.
Search by image ref. no.
If you know the fotoLibra image reference number, such as FOT123456, you can search for it here. Input the digits only: 123456.
Additional search options
This will shortly allow you to search using a wide range of parameters to convey attitudes, styles and emotions.
Please note that as this feature has been introduced for fotoLibra Version 4.0 there are over 300,000 images which do not contain this information, and therefore its functionality has been disabled until sufficient data has been accumulated. New uploads will be encouraged to include this data, and it will gradually be added to previous uploads.
Search by colour
fotoLibra is the only primarily Rights Managed picture library to offer a colour search facility.
This impressive feature is of particular use to businesses and corporations with designated corporate colours. Clicking on the relevant colour swatch and choosing a subject will display all relevant images which match that colour.
Alternatively you can type your required hexadecimal code in the input box above the colour palette.
Try it out — it's fascinating, and extraordinarily useful for promotional work.
