For example, after creating an empty Smart Album in the Projects panel, you might
specify that you want any image that is rated five stars.
Aperture searches across the Library and displays all the images rated five stars in the
Smart Album. New images rated five stars are added to the Smart Album automatically.
You can work with the photos in the Smart Album just as you can with images in any
other album.
You can make Smart Albums that gather images from across the entire Library or from
within a specific project only. When you no longer need a Smart Album, you can delete
it, and the contents of the Library remain the same (the Smart Album’s images are not
deleted from the Library). For more information about using Smart Albums, see
Chapter 13, “
