Hello,
how can I filter my images for portrait format pictures?
Thanks

There is an own type of filter in the Filter Panel. See Orientation and Dimension (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#panel_filter.htm?dl=h-56).

I'm going into this question:

How can I find the dimension of an Image in pixel?

For Out-of-cam, I can see them in the Exif Image Width and Height, but this is gone when the Image was made with Lightroom

Lr should maintain/update this info!
The filter is based on the standardized XMP tags for width/height.

Switch the metadata panel to "Browser" mode. Do you see the width/height you are interested in somewhere?
If so just, use a tag filter.

IMatch maintains File.Width and File.Height. You can use these with the new Variable filter.

I found it, but the problem is that the information differs by the File-Type, f.ex. for a TIFF it is inside XMP TIFF, but for JPG it is in JPEG SOF.
I the exif it is sometimes shown, sometimes not.

But as the filter is working all the time, for me it seems that IMatch stores the data in some other place.

So I wanted to add a custom-Panel to my Metadata display, but I could not find File.Width and File.Height so far. So how can I add them to such a panel?

File.Width / File.Height are internal IMatch fields, made available as variables.
Not metadata tags.

As you learned, even apparently simple tings like width / height differ between metadata and formats.

But is there a simple way to display them, without digging into the Metadata? For me this is one of the most important information, because from that I can see whether a file is usable for printing or not, because from this number you can calculate the maximum size at 300dpi


So far I can see it in the File-Viewer, but I barely use this view, I'm working 90% with Main-Panel and the Quick-View

Or do I should add a feature request to have this information available in the Metadata, like e.g.

photools.com::IMatch\1700\iccprofilename\0 ?

Display where?
In a File Window? Then use a custom template with the {File.Width} and {File.Height} variables. See Custom Templates (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/fw_basics.htm?dl=h-68)
In the Metadata Panel? You can show tags using rules, so you can make a layout that shows a width/height drawing from different tags, ignoring empty tags.
All depends on your other software and workflow.
