How to make a smart album of "Today's images?"

So despite my near-constant complaining, I am still using Aperture for one jpg-only project (I won't let it anywhere near my raw files.)
This project gets a few hundred frames daily, and will continue to accumulate indefinitely.
I want to organize it with smart albums by date shot. Mostly, I want to be able to see everything I shot today.
So far the closest I've come is to sort by "Within the last 1 days" - but that includes yesterday too. Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?

I've also thought about this, but more in terms of
the "Last Import" smart album as in iPhoto, to show
the images that were part of the last import. I know
I can create one to show images from specific
imports, but I don't want to keep modifying the smart
album every time I do an import.
Actually in iPhoto it is called "Last Roll". But anywayz...
I'm looking for exactly the same thing ... The one thing I miss from iPhoto is the "Last Roll" smart album. When I drag in a few dozen images with various file dates, various names, etc. it's real hard to find them again to further organize them, assign ratings, assign keywords, etc. The "Last Roll" feature was great and I could really use something like that again.
Anyone know how to make a "Last Roll" type smart album?
Thanks,

How to make a smart album from a particular time zone?

I would like to make a smart album that contains photos taken in a particular time zone. But I could not find out the way to add a rule to read time zone information. Could anyone tell me how to retrieve the time zone information from the filter panel of Aperture 3?

to add a rule to read time zone information.
I could not find any metadata tag in aperture, that contains the Time Zone and is readable in the smart settings HUD.
Yu could try it indirectly - since the Time Zone is widely determined by the longitudes of the eastern and western boundaries of the zone, you could check for these longitude values, if your photos are geotagged or have Places assigned.
For example, to find the timezone of UTC+1 use these settings:
EXIF > Longitude is in the Range of: 7.7 to 22.5.
Depending on the countries, you may need to combine this rule with latitude rules as well or make a rule that simply uses the country names from the places tags.
For which timezone do you need the rule?

How to make a smart list of photos containing any keyword

I want to get all my keywords embedded. I think a workaround is to make a smart list that has all my photos which contain any key word. Export all these photos. Then import them back in using auto arrange by event.
How do I make a smart list that contains all photos with any keyword (I dont see that as a choice) and will this workaround work?
thanks

Dale:
In the Photos window turn off the Event Titles so all you see are the photos. Then sort by keyword, ascending or desending. The photos without a keyword will be at one end of the display of photos. Find all of the photo without a keyword and batch add a new, unique keyword. Then make a smart album with the criteria Keyword is not "XXXX".
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

When I make a Smart Album, will the photos that match the Smart Album criteria still be present in their original location(s) in the Library after they go into the Smart Album?

When I make a Smart Album in iPhoto, will the photos that meet the criteria of my Smart Album still be present in their original location in my Library after they are "brought into" the Smart Album?

Yes.
Iphoto works as a Library. Everything is in the Library, and albums (Smart or otherwise) reference the photos from the Library.
Nother way to think about it: An Event is a place. An Album is a list...

How to make an app a file receiver for images on iOS?

Hi,
How to make an app a file receiver for images on iOS?
I did it for the Android app.xml like this:

How to do it for iOS?
(I'm using Adobe Air 4.0)
Thank you!

What app have you used to create your ibook? Normally any app will have a menu item like File > Export that will give you the option of PDF, or you can use Print and there will be an option in the Print dialogue to Print to PDF.

How do I make a smart album with ONLY pictures of a face with no one else?

I'm not handy with logic so if this is simple, I apologize. I'm trying to make an album of pics of my girlfriend. So I do a smart album and it comes up with her pics. But what I WANT is only the photos where she's in them with no one else tagged. How do I do that?

Do not think is is possible unless you add face is not every other face
suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

How to create a smart album with only one particular person in it

I have 3 kids. S, O, and E.
All my photos are tagged with keywords, one for each childs name. I would like to create smart albums for each of my kids that contain only photos of them in it ie. no photos that have other people in it like family photos or photos of all 3 kids.
For example, album 'S' should only have pics of S in it, and exclude any pictures of 'S playing with O', or family photos where S is with mum and dad.
The only way i know how is to use the 'does not contain' or 'is not' and exclude all other names. Is there an easier way to do this?

You could add a keyword to group photos and then add a rule to exclude the group photos.

How to make a Smart playlist that plays holiday music if in a certain month

I'm trying to make a smart playlist with the ability to update with holiday songs playing when it's their season. Genre=holiday or Christmas if month=12 or December and genre=Halloween if month=10 or October. Can it be scripted?

Sure but its just as easy to select the playlist then click Play when you want.
Here's something to play with;
set current_month to month of (current date)
get current_month
tell application "iTunes"
          if current_month = "December" then
                    set play_list to "Christmas" -- Change to your Christmas playlist name
          else if current_month = "October" then
                    set play_list to "Halloween" -- Change to your Halloween playlist name
          else if current_month = "January" then
                    set play_list to "New Year" -- Change to your New Year's playlist name
          else
                    set play_list to "Music" -- Play your Music playlist
          end if
          get play_list
play user playlist play_list
end tell

I need a COMPLETE tutorial on how to make a smart playlist with 'conditions'

Ok, I have read discussions in the Support Communities, looked on iTunes Help and I think my brain is going to explode. I need a simple (for dummies) tutorial on how to create a smart playlist with 'conditions' and Live Updating. For example: instead of going through my Library music list and unchecking all my Christmas music and all my Comedy stuff so it won't play year round and at innapropriate times and having to skip them manually when playing on my ipod touch or my iphone4 in my car or through headphones or home sharing and using my AppleTV.
Also, if my comedy is individually all unchecked (in my iTunes Library), and I have a regular playlist in my ipod and one in my iphone (titled Comedy), when I go to the playlist list in my ipod or phone (when not connected to my Mac), and select shuffle: will that playlist play all the way through even though they are all unchecked?
AND, if I have 'sync only checked songs and video' box UNCHECKED in my summary page for a device what exactly does that do? Or more precisely, WHY would I want or not want that box to be checked?
I really hope someone can help me as I am a complete idiot when it comes to understanding long explanations.

If the box is unchecked, it won't do anything. It will sync everything.
If it is checked, songs that are unchecked will nto get sync'd to the iPod.

Select all the Christmas stuff, right click - get info.
Set the sure the Genre is Christmas.
Go to the Info tab and set Skip when Shuffling to Yes.
Do the same for Comedy.
Create a new smart playlist (named My Music or something similar).
Match all rules;
Genre is not Christmas.
Genre is not Comedy.
Play this playlist on the iPod/iTunes to listen to everything except Christmas & Comedy.
Or if you have Shuffle turned on, just listen to anything and Christmas & Comedy will get skipped.
Also, if my comedy is individually all unchecked (in my iTunes Library), and I have a regular playlist in my ipod and one in my iphone (titled Comedy), when I go to the playlist list in my ipod or phone (when not connected to my Mac), and select shuffle: will that playlist play all the way through even though they are all unchecked?
It depends.
In iTunes, unchecked items will get skipped.
If unchecekd items get sync'd to the iPod (you do NOT have Sync only cheked items ticked), they will play unless you have them set to Skip when shuffling.

Using Smart Album to Set Desktop Images

Aperture 3.2.1 and OS X 10.7.2
I'm trying to set my desktop picture to rotate through an Aperture Smart Album. Not that it should matter, but the Smart Album is basic -- one star or better, Stack Picks Only. That Smart Album is easy to set up in Aperture and there it works as expected. But in the Screen Saver & Desktop module in System Preferences, upon choosing that same album, the browser shows all of the versions in each stack, whether they're the pick or not. In Aperture, of course, I only get the Pick because I have that option enabled.
Any thoughts on why this is happening?

Smart albums containing images from stacks behave differently when used to create a product (Media browser, MobileMe Gallery, SlideShow, PhotoBook).
The common effect seems to be that the option "stack picks only" determines how the album is viewed in Aperture, but not, what will be included, when you use images that are part of a stack for a product. With Photo Books, Slideshows, and Galleries you will only get the Stack picks included, regardless of the "stack picks only" setting. Only the Media Browser seems to respect the option "stack picks only". when this option is not set, all images in the stacks will be used on the Desktop or in the screensaver, when it is set, only the stackpicks will show.
But in the Screen Saver & Desktop module in System Preferences, upon choosing that same album, the browser shows all of the versions in each stack, whether they're the pick or not.
That behaviour I cannot confirm. I defined several smart albums with stacks, and only the stack picks did show up in the Deskstop and Screensaver preferences, also in the Media Browser in Pages and iWeb, when the option"stack picks only" was set. But I was careful to quit both Aperture and "System Preferences", before changing the Screensaver settings.

How to make iMovie 09 recognize a mounted disk image?

I'm trying to store video clips in a disk image (Mac OS Extended - Journaled, single Apple Partition Map). Previously in iMovie 08 all I had to do was mount the image, start iMovie and it would recognize it as an additional drive. Then I could drag events to it and store them there. In 09 this does not work. It sees the image but has the yellow triangle/exclamation point in it. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it recognize the image! I've tried all variations in disk utility to create the image to no avail. Is iMovie 09 looking for a certain file on the disk image to recognize it? Maybe something in the DS_Store file or the .localized? Very frustrating.
Hoping someone can help. Thanks.

Try the following:
Mount the disk image so that there is a disk icon on the Desktop, and then launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities). Copy-paste the following line into the Terminal window, and then type a single space. Do not type <Return> yet:
sudo mdutil -i on
After typing the single space, drag the mounted disk image icon from the Desktop into the Terminal window, click inside the Terminal window, and then type <Return>. Enter your admin password at the prompt (it will not echo on the screen), and again type <Return>.
Hopefully that will enable Spotlght indexing on the mounted image. It might take some time to complete depending on the contents.
The result for this for me, three times, was "Indexing disabled."

Smart albums based on date images were last edited

Here's a quick question to throw out to the masses...
Is it possible to create smart albums based on the date images were last edited within Aperture?
If yes, then I can't seem to locate it! - Probably right in front of my nose!
If no, then I think it would be a really handy feature so you can easily keep track of any changes made to individual images throughout your whole library by the date they were last tampered with.
Any views, or pointers in the right direction?
thanks
Jason.

Hi,
this is exactly what I am looking for too! I would like to extend the question to: Is there any way to find the date when a version was created or modified?
Thanks for your help,
Uwe

How to figure out which albums contain a specific image?

Is there a way to click on a specific image and find out where else it is located (besides the master file location)? For example, let's say an image of your cousin is included in an album Birthdays and in another called Family. If I clicked on the master image, is there a way to see that it is included in the albums Birthdays and Family?
Thanks for your help!

The link to the script in the post you referenced is no longer valid.
This should work Aperture: Search albums for a specific image
I have it installed as an Aperture Service but it will work as a regular script.
