154 Chapter 13 Grouping Images with Smart Albums
Revising the Contents of a Smart Album
You cannot manually select individual images in a Smart Album and delete them,
because the images are placed there automatically based on search criteria. Similarly,
you cannot simply drag images to a Smart Album to add them. You must change the
search criteria to change the contents of the Smart Album.
If you decide that certain images should not be in a Smart Album, you can narrow the
search criteria to exclude images. Aperture performs a new search and revises the
Smart Album’s contents.
To change the contents of a Smart Album by changing the search criteria:
1 In the Projects panel, click the Query HUD button to the right of the Smart Album to
open the Query HUD.
2 Revise the search criteria in the Query HUD to eliminate or add the images you want, or
change the keyword or rating for the image itself.
3 Click the Query HUD’s close button.
Deleting a Smart Album
You can delete a Smart Album at any time. If you’ve transferred images from a Smart
Album to another album, the images in the other album are not deleted when you
delete the Smart Album.
To delete a Smart Album:
1 Select the Smart Album in the Projects panel.
2 Choose File > Delete Smart Album.
