Creating Smart Web Gallery Albums
You can use the Aperture Smart Album feature to gather images from the Library or
from projects and place them automatically in web gallery pages. Smart Albums gather
images based on search criteria that you specify. For example, you can create a Smart
Web Gallery Album that gathers your select images from across the entire Aperture
Library. Then each time you rate an image as Select, Aperture automatically adds it to
your Smart Web Gallery Album and to a web gallery page. You can then update your
.Mac account with pages of your most up-to-date select images or post them to your
website. For more information about creating and using Smart Albums, see Chapter 13,
