Searching by Adjustments
You can search for and identify photos based on the type of adjustment that has been applied
to them, as well as which RAW decoding version was used to render the image. To search for
photos based on a specic adjustment, you use the Adjustments search options. You can also
search for photos that do not have a specic type of adjustment applied to them.
