Saving Your Search Results
When you perform a search using the Query HUD, you can choose to save your results
in several ways. You can create a new Smart Album that locates images that match the
search criteria. You can also save the search results themselves into a new album, Light
Table album, book album, MobileMe album, or web journal album.
To create a Smart Album based on the search criteria:
1 Use the Query HUD to search for images based on specified criteria.
2 In the Query HUD, click New Smart Album.
A new, untitled Smart Album appears in the Projects inspector.
3 Enter the name you want for the Smart Album, then press Return.
When you add images to a project or the library that match the search criteria, they are
automatically added to the Smart Album.
