Group photos with Smart Albums
Smart Albums overview
When you need to group certain types of photos, either temporarily or permanently, you can
use a Smart Album to gather the photos automatically based on the search criteria you specify.
For example, suppose you want to see the best photos you took of a particular sports event.
You select the project containing shots of the sports event, create a Smart Album, show the
Smart Settings HUD, and search for photos rated Select (five stars). All photos with that rating
immediately appear in the Smart Album. Whenever a photo meets the search criteria later, it’s
automatically added to the Smart Album.
Aperture comes with a Smart Album set up in the library for you that contains all photos
imported into Aperture over the last 12 months. Select a Smart Album to see its contents in
the Browser.
Select this Smart
Album to see all
the photos taken
in the last year.
You can also choose where to search for photos—across the entire library or within a specific
project or folder. For example, when you select the Projects item in the Library inspector and
create a Smart Album, the Smart Album searches across the entire library. When you select
a project or folder and create a Smart Album, the Smart Album searches within that project
or folder.
