Chapter 14 Grouping Photos with Smart Albums 257
Collecting Photos in a New Smart Album
You can collect photos based on any of the information you can search for using the Smart
Settings HUD. For example, you can create a Smart Album that gathers photos based on a
specic keyword or a combination of keywords, ratings, dates, or other metadata. You can narrow
or broaden the Smart Album search criteria in the Smart Settings HUD at any time.
To create a Smart Album that searches only within one project
1 Select a project in the Library inspector.
2 Do one of the following:
•
Choose File > New > Smart Album (or press Command-Shift-L).
•
In the Library inspector, Control-click the project, then choose New > Smart Album from the
shortcut menu.
•
Choose Smart Album from the New pop-up menu in the toolbar.
A new, untitled Smart Album appears within the project, and the Smart Settings HUD appears to
its right.
3 Rename the Smart Album by entering a new name.
Enter a new name
for the Smart Album.

The controls in the Smart Settings HUD are nearly identical to those in the Filter HUD. For more
information about using the Filter HUD and specifying search criteria, see An Overview of
Searching on page 229.
5 Click the Smart Settings HUD’s close button.
Aperture nds the photos within the project 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.
