Applying multiple filters

I don't understand some of the filtering options. I filtered my selects folder (in a session) to show only images with today's date - that worked. I then tried to filter those to show the ones with 2 stars. But that showed me all the images in the folder with 2 stars, including some taken on other dates. There is an option when you click the ... symbol that says "Results match all criteria". I can't find a description of what this does in the Help, but I imagined that if the option was selected, I should get just the 2 star images taken today. However, selecting or not selecting that option doesn't seem to make any difference.

What does that option actually do, and is there a way of filtering on two criteria as I intended to do?

This option applies in case you have selected multiple (at least 2) criteria at the same time.

You have been working with 2 criteria, one after the other. Try to select both the date *and* the color tag. You can do this with the Alt-key when selecting the next filter.

Now, the options "Results match all criteria" comes into effect. When check only images that match *both* criteria are displayed. When not check, images that match either of the criteria but not necessarily both, are displayed.

Thanks, Paul. It seems that what I was missing was using the alt key when I selected my second filter.
