Searching by Rating

You can use the Query HUD to see all images with a certain rating. For example, you
can search for all the images in a project that have a rating of five stars. You can show
images with a specific rating, images rated at or below a specific rating, or images rated
at or above a rating. Aperture is preset to hide images rated as rejected, showing only
those that are unrated or better.

You can also search using multiple rating criteria by adding several rating search
criteria options from the Add Filter pop-up menu. For example, you might create a
search that locates images that have a rating of three stars or four stars only.
