Smart album duplicates flickr photos

I have a smart album set up with a condition "keyword contains ... ". The trouble is it also includes any photos uploaded to Flickr with the same tag. Is there any way to avoid this duplication?
Thanks

When you e-mail a photo you could assign a keyword of e-mailed to it - as far as I know iPhoto does not do anything like this - suggest to APPLE - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

I am trying, unsuccessfully, to export an iphoto smart album- 12,000 photos, no movies- (information is saying 31GB) to a brand new 32GB scandisk flash stick. A caution msg keeps saying "there is not enough space to complete this" Help!

You need a larger drive or an external drive - they OS needs a minimum of 10GB just for normal operation so you are already experiancing degraded preformance - if yo do not get more space you will start losing data
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How do I use Smart Albums to show photo's from two different iphone 5 devices so all photos are not together?

Hi,
My wife and I both have the iphone 5.
I backup all our photos onto the one iphoto but she wants to be able to now see the photos she took on her iphone 5 only and not mine.
I've tried using smart albums but there is no option to pick between two of the same devices.. Is there any way I can just her iphone 5 pics to show up and ignore mine?
Thanks

Smart Album not display photos

I set all my smart albums by using the calendar setting by date. Three (3) of my smart albums do not display the photos. I've checked to ensure the photos are in my library and are dated correctly. I've also done a consistency check and rebuilt my Library. The smart albums still do not display the photos. Smart albums on either side of the non-functioning smart albums display photos as set.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Where are the Smart Albums located in your library? Aperture actually scopes Smart Albums based on where they are initially created. So if you, say, create a folder called "Smart Albums" at the highest level of your hierarchy, in a folder where there are no projects, the Smart Albums will always be empty. You need to create them somewhere that there are projects with photos.
It's a bit confusing until you understand what's going on. Have a read of the document on Smart Albums which explains how they work in particular. This really is one area where you do have to read the manual to understand… I think their functionality could be cleared up a bit in the UI to make it more obvious that they're scoped.

Smart albums based on photo orientation (portrait or landscape)

Is it possible to use orientation of the photo (portrait or landscape) as a criteria for a smart album? I couldn't find a way to do this. I'd like to create a smart album of all landscape photos and use that album as a source for desktop background and screensaver.
Thanks,
Zoran

Actually this IS possible in iPhoto '11, just not immediately obvious as to how. Assuming all your photos are digital and contain metadata relating to the orientation:
Create a new Smart Album with the following setting:
Field: Select the "Any Text" option (second in list)
Matching: Select "Contains" option
Value: Type "Portrait" into the keyword box
Click OK and your done.
Substitute Portrait for Landscape if you want a landscape Smart Album.

How to make smart album from path photos

Hi everyone!
This maybe noob question.
So I'm trying to make smart album for all of my Path's photos stored in my iPhoto library, but I find it difficult to determine proper filter.
I have tried to make smart album from instagram's, with this: Any Text - contains - instagram
But it doesn't work for path photos.
Can anyone here give me any clue? Thank in advance
Ismail

Thank you for the response
Yeah, I understand. I have to put the keyword first, the problem is sometimes I transfer almost around 800 photos at once. I haven't had much time to sort every photos and put the keyword on every Path photo. Beside so many photos in my library, and not well-organized. Also I have tried any possibilities of relevant criteria in smart album. But still zero result.
So, before I actually take the time to organize my thousands of photos manually, I was thinking maybe there's another way, simple and smart one, with this smart album feature. Anyone?

Smart Album errors detecting photos w/ missing faces

I created a smart album (Faces is "unnamed") to find photos with missing faces. I went through and identified each of the photos. As I did this, as soon as I put in the name, many (but not all) disappeared from the album.
However, the Smart Album still has a number of photos, even though there are no unidentified images. I checked each one to see if there were small boxes that I missed, but there weren't.
I deleted the album and set up a new smart album (with the same criteria) and the images still appear in the album.
Is there any way to make my smart album smarter? (remove a plist???)
Thanks!

. "Affe". I have a face named "Sculpture".
I was quite impressed that Aperture's Face Recognition recognizeed the baboon's face.
I have some nice tagged sculptures too.
And some of the more cheeky suggestion by Aperture I named "Funny Face", for example - where does Aperture see a Face here in the bottom part of the picture?

Aperture: photos not importing in numerical order with Smart Album recently, Aperture: photos not importing in numerical order with Smart Album recently

Aperture 2.1.4 has imported my digital photos numerically in Smart Albums perfectly till just recently. Can anyone tell me what is happening? Thank you.

The only thing worked was when I created a new Aperture library with only the projects I want. This brough me to think it maybe something to do with the size of my current library, which currently host over 10,000 photos, or there is something else wrong with my library?
Aperture is designed for really big libraries, so the size should not matter. But since you can sync a new library, I suspect, that your Aperture library may need repairing. Did you have an Aperture crash, that may have left your library in an inconsistent state?
Try the Aperture Library First Aid Tools on your main library: You can launch the "Library First Aid" by holding down the ⌥⌘-combination, when launching Aperture, see:

Smart albums in new Photos?

Does the 'smart album' feature (or something similar) still exist in the new Photos app?
I travel a lot and don't always have access to WiFi, so I am not very exited about the iCloud Photo Library concept.
What I usually do is upload photos to my MacBook Pro. As I don't want all photos on my iPad, I rate the ones I want with a star (this seems to be discontinued) and then create a smart album by 'picking' the starred photos. Using iTunes, I then download the smart album to the iPad. Works fine!
But without the star rating it becomes problematic to do this. And I think somewhere I read that smart albums don't exist anymore.
And 'places' also seems to have disappeared, whilst 'Faces', which I see as a gimmick, is still there.
Looks like the features I used in iPhoto (which I agree was a very clunky app) have all been axed.
Any idea how I can achieve my goal: get subsets of albums onto my iPad without using WiFi or 3 - 4 G?

Thanks!
I'll wait and see if there are any other replies.
If the local iTunes synch is removed, the new app is pretty useless for me.
And it seems that (apart from the extra emoticons), there is not all that much new in 10.10.3.
As I don't want to clutter up my system with two different photo apps, I won't upgrade for now.
After the 'update' of the iWork apps, (and smaller things like persistent bugs in Automator) now this....
Apple is moving more and more away from me.

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...

Making Details:Duplicate from Smart Album? Duplicate and Crop in one step?

I need to create details -- blown-up portions -- of several hundred photos. Many of the photos have three areas from which I would like to create details. I want to retain the originals as originals. I want the details to remain in whatever event the original is in. It would be helpful to have the details not inherit the keywords of the original. What is the best way to do this in iPhoto?
Here are some of the problems I've encountered.
- My originals are in Events. I have tagged the photos from which I want to create details with various keywords. I have Smart Albums set up for keywords. Is there any way to duplicate a photo from within a Smart Album ("Duplicate" is grayed out)?
- - Is there any way to select a photo in a Smart Album and then go to Events or Photos view and have that photo selected?
- Once I have the photo selected, I want to quickly select the area of the detail and create a duplicate and crop it to the selected area. Is there an easy way to do this?
- - Pressing "c" in Edit mode brings up the crop mode (as long as Keywords aren't show and you don't have a keyword assigned to "c") _with an area of the photo already selected. Is there any way to either not have an area initially selected or to with one key press get rid of the "pre-selection"?
- Sometimes I don't know until I look at the photo that I want details. Ideally I'd like to be able to, in Edit view, select an area of the photo with the mouse cursor, and with one key-press duplicate the photo and crop it to the area selected.
I am willing to consider using an external editor.
Thanks!

- My originals are in Events. I have tagged the photos from which I want to create details with various keywords. I have Smart Albums set up for keywords. Is there any way to duplicate a photo from within a Smart Album ("Duplicate" is grayed out)?
No. However, if you search the Library on the Keyword (using the Search Box) you'll be able to duplicate.
- - Is there any way to select a photo in a Smart Album and then go to Events or Photos view and have that photo selected?
No. Bu again, using the Search Box, with 'Event Titles' selected in the View Menu will do something similar.
- Once I have the photo selected, I want to quickly select the area of the detail and create a duplicate and crop it to the selected area. Is there an easy way to do this?
Define'Quick'. Here's the quickest way I can find: Crop the pic to the detail. Duplicate the cropped pic and the Revert to Original on the first one. Result: your original pic plus a cropped version. However: you will lose +all previous edits+ on the pic doing this.
- - Pressing "c" in Edit mode brings up the crop mode (as long as Keywords aren't show and you don't have a keyword assigned to "c") _with an area of the photo already selected. Is there any way to either not have an area initially selected or to with one key press get rid of the "pre-selection"?
No and no.
- Sometimes I don't know until I look at the photo that I want details. Ideally I'd like to be able to, in Edit view, select an area of the photo with the mouse cursor, and with one key-press duplicate the photo and crop it to the area selected.
Isn't that the same question as the 'Quick' one above?
I am willing to consider using an external editor.
What's nor clear from your questions is the actual detail required. Are these several hundred pics all the same dimensions, with the detail in the same location each time? If so, you could probably create a Photoshop action to automate the process for you. But if you don't have photoshop or have never created an Action then you might well be faster to do the job by hand.

Photo loss from a project when creating a smart album

Running Aperture 3.4.3 on iMac with OS X 10.7.5. Photos stored on internal drive. After creating two smart albums based on a date range, one with keywords and one with ratings, some, but not all, of the photos that appeared in the smart albums disappeared from the original projects (each project contains photos from a single day). One of the original projects still notes 454 photos under its thumbnail, but when opened only displays 308 photos. The project path of the photos in the smart album still references the correct project. I tried deleting the smart album but the photos did not immediately reappear in the correct project so I undid the delete. I tried closing and reopening Aperture. I tried system restart. No luck. Reading the Aperture help/manual suggests that the photos should remain in the original project.

First: Make sure the Browser Filter is set to "Showing All" (or "Unrated or Better") when the Project is selected.

Smart Album to show pics with no faces, & any photos that iPhoto no faceID

Hi, I've just started to use iPhoto 09, after a long long time getting to know my iMac, and organising my iTunes library...
I want a smart album to show photos which have no faces, but also to have photos which iPhoto has not picked up that a photo needs a "face ID" on, what I mean is, if a person is turned away to to the side, iPhoto might not pick up that it needs to be a "face" and so wont show up in the normal smart album Photo>is>unnamed
if anyone can help, would be great, I'm busy slowly importing my photos, and what to do this one step at a time
cheers

A smart album with the criteria "Face is unnamed" will find any photo with an unnamed face on it. It can be either one with a named face or two but at least one unnamed face or a photo with no faces named.
There is workaround to get what you want.
1 - add a keyword, face, to any photo you name a face in.
2 - create a smart album with the criteria "Keyword is not face".
This will identify any photo with no face at all. If you've not added any other keywords to photos you can create the smart album above and then sort by keyword. Those with both a face and unnamed face will have the keyword face and can be sorted to the top or bottom of the list.

Smart album for non-album photos in library

I haven't found this posted but I'll bet it's a common question.
How do I make a smart album for 'library photos not yet in any album' ?
I have a couple thousand images and it's year-end clean up time!
I haven't mastered the search criteria and am poor at logic anyway.

IOS photo app vs iPhoto, keywords, smart albums, face detection?

greetings,
i have some questions about iOS photos app in comparison to iPhoto (in 10.8). i've done a little searching on the web and in the forum, but didn't see this covered...
i always sync my iPhone to my mac, copy/import my photos to iPhoto, and use iPhoto to organize my photos. in iPhoto, i tag photos (keywords) and use "smart albums" to access all my photos based upon the keyword tags. face detection in iPhoto is GREAT!.   i have all my friends faces named and finding them by "people" grouping is fantastic. the down side to all of this is that i have everything working great on my mac, but usually i'm using the photos app in the iPhone to show pics to my friends since that is what i have with me. i'm not sure if this information in iPhoto ever gets synced back to my iPhone.
1- does the iOS photos app have any of these features from iPhoto?
     in other words, can i tag photos, lable the faces of friends, set up smart albums in iOS photos? if so, please point me to some info. i haven't seen an obvious way to do any of this.
2- can i sync what i do in iPhoto back to my iPhone?
     in other words, can i get the tags, peoples' names on their faces, and smart albums copied from iPhotos back to my iPhone? is there some setting or command in iPhoto, or somewhere else?
3- i just turned on photostream. can/does this iPhoto data transfer via photostream to the iPhone?
i have an iPhone 4.
i am just about ready to upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6. so if any of these features are specific to iOS 6, please let me know.
i'd appreciate it if you could mention if there is anything special about iOS in the iPad, because a friend has asked me how she can do in her iPad (iOS 6), what i do with iPhoto in my mac.
thank you for any suggestions or advice.
