Transferring Smart Album Photos to Another Project or Album
You can transfer photos from a Smart Album to another project or 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 project or album. You can also select the photos in the
Smart Album and have Aperture create a new album to hold them.
To transfer photos from a Smart Album to another project or album
1 Create a new project or album, if necessary.
2 Select the Smart Album, then select the photos you want.
3 Drag or copy the photos into the project or album you want to transfer the photos to.

other album are also not deleted when you delete the Smart Album.
