Transfer Smart Album photos to an album

You can transfer photos from a Smart Album to another album, such as a slideshow album or a
book album. You transfer photos by selecting the photos in the Smart Album and dragging or
copying them into another album. You can also select the photos in the Smart Album and have
Aperture create a new album to hold them.

Library Albums in the Library inspector, you see the following Smart Albums:

Five Stars: Select this Smart Album to see all photos in the library that are rated five stars.

One Star or Better: Select this Smart Album to see all photos that are rated one star or better.

Rejected: Select this Smart Album to see all photos that are rated Reject.

Videos: Select this Smart Album to see all video clips in the library.

In the Last Week: Select this Smart Album to see all photos taken in the last week.

In the Last Month: Select this Smart Album to see all photos taken in the last month.

Important:

Library albums appear in the Library inspector only if your Aperture library was

created in Aperture 3.2 or earlier.
