Spotlight or Find help? - DP - 09-22-2015
I'm having to dig up a batch of images for a client that needs them for packaging and needs as hi resolution as possible. I am providing the client with 15" at 300ppi images but my problem is that I can't find a lot of my original files even though they're all in my client files going back to '04. But when I search for them in Spotlight I can't seem to locate the original files. It only goes back to when I had re-worked those files for uses that needed smaller files and I did those a year or so ago. I tried selecting Matches and Contains after the Name; no help.
I have tried different names and file numbers and I also opened the external HD with the files and used the Find feature, making sure it shows Date Created too and still no dice... It only shows me when I modified the files.
I've looked in Bridge and get the same results. Any ideas?

You can search for anything that's in the exif of photo. Even Stuff line pixel width.

There are a ton of image searching options under the Finder's Find window that can be accessed under the pop-up's Other… option:
