When you choose an item from the Add Rule pop-up menu, additional controls become
available in the Filter HUD. The Add Rule pop-up menu contains the following items:

Adjustments: Search for photos based on the type of adjustment that has been applied to
them in Aperture, as well as which RAW decoding version was used to render the image. You
can also search for photos that do not have a specific type of adjustment applied to them.

Aperture Metadata: Search for photos with Aperture-specific metadata applied to them, such
as version name and project name.

Attachment: Search for photos based on whether they have audio attachments.

Calendar: Search for photos by the date they were taken as registered in the EXIF data.You
can select a date or several dates in the calendar to search for photos taken on those dates,
as well as specify a range of dates. In addition, you can search for photos taken outside of
a range of dates. Use the Calendar navigation buttons to navigate through the monthly
calendars. Shift-click to select a range of continuous dates; Command-click to select multiple
noncontinuous dates.

Color Label: Search for photos that have color labels assigned to them. You can search for more
than one color label at a time. You can also search for photos that do not have a specific color
label assigned to them.

Date: Search for photos based on their creation date. Images that you import from sources
other than digital cameras and card readers, such as JPEG or TIFF files, may not have EXIF
information associated with them. However, they typically have a creation date assigned to the
file. You can use this creation date to locate images using the Date search options.

EXIF: Search for photos using any EXIF information recorded by the camera.

Face: Search for photos based on the faces that have been assigned names. You can search for
photos that only contain a single named face, as well as photos that have multiple people in
them, including the face you’re looking for.

File Status: Search for photos based on whether they are managed images, referenced images,
or online or offline images. You can use the File Status search category to show the photos
whose originals Aperture considers missing.

File Type: Search for files of a specific type, such as RAW or video. You can also search
for RAW + JPEG image pairs, movie and audio file attachments, and images edited with
external applications.

Flagged: Search for photos that you have flagged in Aperture.

Import Session: Search for photos that were imported at a specific time or on a specific date.
Aperture keeps track of your import sessions and can identify photos that were imported at
the same time. You can also search for photos that were not imported during a specific import
session or range of sessions.

IPTC: Search for photos based on any IPTC information assigned to them.

Keywords: Search for photos by any of the keywords that you’ve assigned to them. You can
select one or more keywords to search for. You can also specify which keywords a photo must
have to qualify as a match.

Photo Usage: Search for photos that have been employed for a specific purpose in Aperture,
such as photos currently used in a book, emailed photos, and prints ordered via the Apple
print service.

Place: Search for photos by the location information assigned to them. If you have photos that
were shot with a GPS-enabled digital camera or if you’ve identified where photos were shot
using Places, you can search for photos by location.
