Creating Smart Webpage Albums

You can use the Aperture Smart Album feature to gather images from the library or
from projects and place them automatically in webpages. Smart Albums gather images
based on search criteria that you specify. For example, you can create a Smart Webpage
Album that gathers your select images from across the entire Aperture library. Then
each time you rate an image Select, Aperture automatically adds it to your Smart
Webpage Album and to a webpage. You can then update your MobileMe 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, “

Grouping Images

with Smart Albums

,” on page 317.

Note: Smart Webpage Albums are not available as web journals.

To create a Smart Webpage Album of your images:

1

Do one of the following:

 Choose File > New Smart > Web Page.
 Choose New Smart Web Page from the Add to Library pop-up menu in the Projects

inspector.

2

Enter a name for the new Smart Webpage Album.

3

Click the Query HUD button (with a magnifying glass icon) to the right of the Smart
Webpage Album name to show the Query HUD.

4

In the Query HUD, specify the criteria for the Smart Webpage Album.

The Smart Webpage Album is created and filled with the images that meet the
search criteria.
