There's no specific function or filter to do it, but it's pretty easy to do with a short sequence of steps:
- Select all collections in the Collections panel * - "Edit->Select All" with Grid view displayed (all thumbnails should now be selected - Click on "All Photographs" in the Catalog panel - "Edit->Invert Selection" The selected images now are all those images which have not been included in a collection. You can mark them all with a custom label ... "Not-In-Collection" or something like that ... using the "Label" field in the Metadata panel. That would then let you find them all by doing a filtered search on the "Custom Label" items. ** * Click on the first, shift-click on the last, or use command/control-click on each one to select them all ** A custom label will over-ride any current label set setting (like Red or Green, etc). Another strategy would be to mark them with a keyword, eg: "NIC" or some such that has no other meaning.
