PicsMatch Blog

My computer has nearly 12,000 photos and compared to some of our users, that’s nothing! One thing I love to do for my family and friends is make homemade cards rather than spend six bucks on something generic. It adds that personal touch.

Recently my parents celebrated their anniversary. I wanted to find a picture of the two of them to use for my card. I fired up PicsMatch and went to the Advanced Search. In the Advanced Search, you can perform queries of individuals, groups of people, during a holiday, during a special event, even in a specific year.

My first Advanced Search I selected the Matching IDs for my Mom and my Dad and got back 68 photos that contained both my Mom and my Dad.

Now I specifically remember a picture from when my folks went on a trip to Alaska that I really liked. I took another swing at Advanced Search and tightened up the requirements. This time I selected my Mom and Dad then clicked on a Special Event we created for their trip titled “Alaska Trip 2007.” With this, I had three photos appear that had both of them in it from the trip. Got it!

I found the picture I was looking for but needed to make a few adjustments. I double-clicked on the image to open the editor, tweaked it to my liking and then we were almost finished!

With PicsMatch’s Advanced Search you have the ability to zero in on that ONE photo out of thousands.
