Search for a photo in the filmstrip
When you have more photos than the filmstrip can display at once, you can use the search field
in the filmstrip to quickly locate photos. The search is confined to the selection in the Library
pane of the Inspector HUD.
m Enter text associated with that photo in the filmstrip’s search field.
Aperture finds the relevant photo or photos for you, removing others from view. To see all your
photos again, click the search field’s Reset button (with an X) or delete the text in the search field.
Important: You can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly implement a search that displays
photos with specific ratings or photos that have a specific keyword. It’s possible, while working
with photos, to accidentally press such a keyboard shortcut and see photos on your screen
unexpectedly change or even disappear. If this happens, you can display your photos by clicking
the Reset button in the search field to reset the search criteria in the Filter HUD.
Set the filmstrip to filter photos
By default, the filmstrip is set to show photos that are unrated or better. Any photos that have
been assigned the Reject rating are automatically removed from view. To view rejected photos,
you must set the filmstrip to show all photos.
You can also filter the photos shown in the filmstrip by criteria other than ratings. For example,
you can filter photos by whether they’ve been flagged or assigned a color label.
m To set the filmstrip to show all photos: In the filmstrip, choose Show All from the search field
pop-up menu.
All photos, including rejects, appear in the filmstrip, and Showing All appears in the filmstrip’s
search field.
m To set the filmstrip to show only rejected photos: In the filmstrip, choose Rejected from the search
field pop-up menu.
Only photos with the Reject rating appear in the filmstrip, and X appears in the filmstrip’s
search field.
m To set the filmstrip to show only flagged photos: In the filmstrip, choose Flagged from the search
field pop-up menu.
m To set the filmstrip to show only photos assigned a specific color label: In the filmstrip, choose a color
label from the search field pop-up menu.
