Smart album iLife different number of photo's

I've created a smart-album in Aperture. It shows e.g. 50 photo's. When i select this sam e smart-album in another iLife program or iTunes, then they show much more photo's. It seems that the filter doesn't work within other applictions.
Aperture 3.2.3
iTunes 10.6.1
osX 10.7.3

You may have set an additional filter on your smart album, so that you get a filtered view of it in Aperture. Check the search field in the Browser, when your smart album is selected. It should display "All Items".
For example:
In the Media Browser in Mail this smart album "Delos Selection" correctly displays 11 items.
In Aperture I only see 7 items, because the search field is set to 5* and the images with a lesser rating are suppressed by the filter.
So have a look at your search field, when your album is selected.
Regards
Léonie

Smart Album will not pull in photos that I've rotated

It took SO long to figure out why this smart album was pulling in MOST photos that fit the criteria - but not all. After looking at the original files, I now see that the one's it's excluding are any photos I've rotated in iPhoto (it does not affect those that were automatically rotated on or before the import.
Does anyone have a fix? thanks much!

Well, I haven't done any other edits to the shots, but my guess is that yes, it's the case. I tried reverting the problem pics to their original state and that seemed to fix it. When I rotate them again, they still work in the album...so it's kind of fixed. But if you have to go and hunt down problem photos like that, it defeats the point of a smart album, so i'd call it a workaround only.

Smart Albums don't display in Photos App, only when edit Contacts Photo

I created a Smart Photo Album on my Macbook Pro and synced it to my iPhone4. When I open the Photos App, the smart album isn't listed but when I edit a Contact's photo by clicking on the Choose Photo button, the Smart Album is listed along with all the other albums.
But when I just go to the Photos App on it's own, the Smart Album is still not there.
Anyone have a similar problem?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That sounds like an iPhoto or iPhone issue and not an iWeb one. Post your question in the Installing and using iPhoto '09 or iPhone forum.

Photos in last import, smart album, not in events, or photos

I just build a new iPhoto library, from a large folder of masters. It took many hours to complete, and all photos and events showed up that I imported.
I exited the program, had it commit all changes to database.
I reopened iPhoto and imported my iPhone's camera roll. I went into photos, and events, and none of the photos display there.
If I look in last import, OR if I look in a smart album from "last 4 weeks", all photos and videos are there.
What can I do to sort this? Again, I just built this new iPhoto library from scratch on the latest version.
Thanks all.
Product:
iPhoto 9.2.1 (628)
OSX Lion 10.7.2

I figured it out, but in case anyone else has simliar issues. I had imported a camera roll that dated back to July and had pictures up to November. Sorting by date, with event titles, that event inserted itself far below some of my more current photos. Going to VIEW while on PHOTOS menu and unticking EVENT TITLES, sorts photos purely on date. This is functionality I wanted. Hope that helps anyone in same boat.
Cheers much.

Limit smart album to a number of pictures ? like last 100 pictures...

Hi,
Using Aperture 3, is it possible to limit the amount of pictures that appear in a smart album ?
A bit like what you do with a smart playlist in iTunes.
So is it possible to create a smart album that says something like the last 100 pictures added, etc. ?
Thanks,
Keith.

Hi,
Yes, i know I can do this with a date.
But using something like 'in the last week' could return thousands of pictures if i'd just returned from a vacation for example, and then a week later, have zero pictures.
I'm just looking for a smart album that will be copied to my iPhone whenever I sync, with like the last 2000 pictures I took, and so that it always has 2000 pictures, even if there is nothing new recently.
Hope that makes more sense.
Thanks
Keith.

Smart album from different libraries

Hi everyone,
I have a some different iPhoto libraries, one for each trip I made.
In every library I created flagged photos album.
Now I'd like to sync these flagged photos album to my iPad.
How can I do that? iTunes makes me sync one library at a time, and every time I sync a new library, it deletes photos on Ipad!
Thanks!
Alberto

Well that's just one of the reasons why multiple libraries are very inconvenient.
Why would you create a different Library for each trip? iPhoto 11 can have up to 1,000,000 in any one library. I separate trip out by year and then album.
So, simply you can't do what you want. Your iPad will only sync with one library at a time.
If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

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.

Can't delete photos in smart album view

Assuming we all know how smart albums work, let's jump to why I can't delete a photo from a smart album. In all other views, it seems, I can delete images. When I'm scanning through 500 pictures tagged with Christmas in my Christmas Smart Album and come across one I want to delete, I can't do so. What's worse, going back to Photos view and trying to find that picture to delete it is almost impossible when you're looking through a library of 6,000 images.
Am I missing something? Do I really have to find a work around for this? Why has Apple left out DELETE from Smart Albums?

To delete a photo that's in a smart album you need to use the CommandOptionDelete key combination to move it to the trash. If you just want to remove the photo from the album you will need to change on that photo the feature that the smart album is set to look for.

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.

Movies Show up in Smart Albums not Photos?

I have an interesting issue I'm trying to help someone with whre a handful of videos show up in a smart album but not in the Photos or Events view.
Shot about 5 videos on an iPad2 Running iOS 7.
Connected via cable to MacBook Pro (10.8.5) and imported the videos to iphoto
Videos initially showed up (likely in the recently imported window) and they were able to play them
2 days later went looking for the videos and could not find them in the Photos or Events in iPhoto
Shot another 4-5 videos on the same iPad2 and imported them via cable
Here is where it gets interesting
iPhoto sees the other movies are already there and asks if we want to import duplicates (we say no)
New Videos show up under Events/Photos, first set still does not
However if I create a Smart Album and tell it to show all Movies the "missing" videos show up in the Smart Album! They are still not shown in Photos/Events
Anyone know what is going on here? Can always just get all the files out and create a new iPhoto database to import in to but trying to see if can fix it without being that drastic.

Some library corruption - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

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.

I need a Smart Album that only contains photos with NO faces detected

I've been fiddling with the smart album settings, and I can't seem to find a way to do this. iPhoto will miss detection on some faces, and I need a way to see ONLY the photos that iPhoto didn't find a face for.
This is NOT the same as a smart album with an "unknown" face. This is a smart album that will show ALL photos with NO face detected at all.
Is this possible?

Boy, why can't we use Smart Folders as a criteria for creating another Smart Folder? This works in iTunes! You can use a Smart Playlist as a criteria for creating another Smart Playlist.
Well, here is what you can do...
Create a Smart Folder that gathers all of the identified Faces. Faces --> is not --> unnamed
Then drag all those photos to a standard album titled Faces Named
Next Create a Smart folder that gathers all of the unnamed Faces. Faces --> is --> unnamed
Now drag all those photos to a standard album title Faces Unnamed.
Finally, create a Smart Album with the following criteria...
Album --> is not --> Faces Named
Album --> is not --> Faces Unnamed
That should gather every photo that iPhoto has determined that no faces exist.

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...

Burning Smart Albums to DVD

Hi
I've generated a few trial smart albums from my main library before making any serious use of them and the behaviour when burning one or more of them to a DVD seems very odd to me, in fact useless, and I wonder if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
The scenario is this. I create a smart album containing say all the photos of one particular person, the photos are "pulled" from a large number of different events. I then highlight the generated smart folder which contains say 210 pictures that the individual appears in and use the Share->Burn command to burn the images to a DVD. What actually happens is that all the albums that the individual pictures have been pulled from are burned to the disc rather than just the photographs that contain this particuler person. So, instead of the 210 pictures I wanted, which ALL contain that individual, I end up with in this case a disc containing 94 events, a total of 5443 images which include the 210 images with this particular person in them, which isn't what I want at all!
I'm selecting the option to burn the disc in the format that can be read by iPhoto, ie. a library disc.
Thank you.
Q

When you did the burn did you select just the Smart Album icon in the left hand pane before using the Share ➙ Burn menu option? What version of iPhoto are you running?
I just ran a test in iPhoto 9.4.2 burning a smart album. What I got is shown in this screenshot:
The original SA had 232 photos in it. The SA in the disk "mini" library had the same 232 photos but also the 40 Events that those 232 photos came from.
Make sure you select just the Smart Album in the left hand pane before using the Share ➙ Burn menu.

Is there a way to burn multiple smart albums to DVD?

I just finished shooting a wedding. I have made a number of smart albums for Reception, Dance, Ceremony, etc...
Now I would like to burn all of these albums onto one DVD to send to the client. But I would like each album to be in its own folder on the DVD. I could go the long way and export each album into a folder on the desktop and then put them all in a burn folder.
Is there a more automated way of doing this, such as a plugin maybe? After a little searching I found BurnToDisc from Blue Room software but it looks like you can only select one album at a time to burn to DVD. I would like to be able to select all 8 or 9 albums and have them burned in one operation.
Thank you for any help
Bo

As I wrote:
There's only one problem, I'm not sure if this will work for smart albums in folders.
so unfortunately I was right. Smart Albums behave differently then regular Albums one of the biggest differences is the way Folders and Smart Albums interact.
With a regular album if it is in a folder clicking on the folder shows the images in the album. With smart albums this doesn't happen, the folder doesn't show the images in the smart albums it contains.
A few work arounds off the top of my head:
convert the smart albums into regular albums. With the smart album selected and in browser mode click on the magnifying glass icon at the top right to open the browser filter HUD. At the bottom of the filter HUD is a button New Album with Current Images click it and a regular album with the images from the smart album will be created. Once you've done this to the smart albums the procedure I wrote should work.
You could manually create the folders in the Finder and export each smart album individually to the corresponding folder you created.
Let us know if either of those work for you,
regards
