Chapter 15 Grouping Photos with Smart Albums 260
5 Click the Smart Settings HUD’s close button.
Aperture nds the photos in the library that match the specied search criteria and displays
them in the Browser. You can now work with these versions of your photos in the same way you
work with photos in any project or album.
Searching Within a Smart Album
After creating a Smart Album, you can search for specic photos within the contents of the
Smart Album.
To search within the contents of a Smart Album
1 In the Library inspector, select the Smart Album whose contents you want to search, then click
the Filter HUD button in the Browser.
Select the Smart Album
you want to search within.
Show the Browser’s Filter HUD
and specify search criteria.
2 When the Filter HUD appears, specify secondary search criteria to show specic photos within
the Smart Album.
To see the entire contents of the Smart Album again, delete the search criteria in the Filter HUD.
Revising the Contents of a Smart Album
To change the contents of a Smart Album, you change the search criteria for the Smart Album.
You can manually select individual photos and delete them, but the deletion removes both the
version and the original wherever it exists in the original project. Similarly, you cannot simply
drag photos into a Smart Album to add them.
If you decide that certain photos should not be in a Smart Album, you can narrow the search
criteria to exclude photos. Aperture performs a new search and revises the Smart Album’s
contents. To remove a photo from a Smart Album, you can also change the photo so that it no
longer matches the Smart Album’s search criteria. For example, if a Smart Album gathers photos
rated ve stars, changing a photo’s rating to four stars removes it from the Smart Album.
