Smart Albums with Keywords

I have a couple Smart Albums whose criteria include "keyword contains ...." One of these smart albums reveals the photos separated by the Event that contains them and the other shows the photos all together not separated at all. I'm not sure how I did this. So, two questions:
1.) How can I toggle between the two view options described above?
2.) How can I create a third viewing option that separates the photos by keyword? (I.e. A smart album with criteria to include any of multiple keywords and then presents the photos separated by their respective keywords)
Thank you!

"1.) How can I toggle between the two view options described above?
View Menu -> Event Titles - Check and uncheck this as required."
I found "Event Titles" but it is grayed out for some reason. It is grayed out when I am in Smart Albums, regular Albums and Events but not when I am in Photos. It seems that it should toggle for Smart Albums though, considering I have both Smart Albums that separate photos by events and Smart Albums that don't. I'm quite computer savvy, but this one has amazingly stumped me. What do you advise?
Thank you!

Smart album using keyword not working

I'm creating smart albums using keywords. Today I created two smart albums tagging select photos with key words. One album has worked correctly, the other album is empty, showing only black background. I've confirmed photos are tagged with the one key word, I've confirmed the key word exists in the list. I can't figure out why the smart album is not generating.

Try going to the Q tab and get rid of all the search field by clicking the circle at the right hand side, leaving only the Keywords field, then ensure the rating field is at unrated or better as this field cannot be removed. Allan

Sync project, album or smart album with MobileMe gallery?

Is there any way to sync a project, album or smart album with MobileMe gallery? It would be nice to have changes in one, reflect changes in the other. Thanks

make sure your inspector is visible on the left hand side press i to toggle on and off. You will see folders and projects that you have made in there. You can simply right click on a folder or project and select New from selection > MobileMe Album this will send all pictures in that album up to your mobileme Cloud for viewing. You can also select just some of the pictures in your main View screen again right click on them and the same as above. If you put more pictures into that folder etc on the mac you will see again in the inspector a icon and the text MobileMe gallery, to the right hand side of the text you will see a icon that looks like a wireless symbol just click on it to re-sync. You can also re-sync by going to prefs in aperture clicking on Mobileme and then click on the tab Check for new photos this works both ways.

Is it possible to sync aperture smart albums with an iphone?

What I have on my Air is a smart album with all photos taken with my iphone(s). I want to sync this back to my iphone, but when I sync through itunes only ~1/2 the photos do in fact sync. Not immediately obvious which are and which are not. Most annoying.
I am sure that I am not the first with this problem. Does anyone have a solution? Possibly the chap who advised me not to allow iphone library to grow into the 1000s! .
Thanks for any assist.

Smart Album with Unnamed Faces

Hi - I created a smart album containing all images with unnamed faces (using the "Face: is unnamed" filter), which I found useful for editing people's names. It had been working, but the folder now contains nothing even though I still have lots of images with unnamed faces. Tried deleting the old and creating a new smart album, quit and restarted Aperture a few times, and repaired the library, but still doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Peter O.

Not perfect, but better than nothing...
I created a Smart Album with a rule set that says "Must match All" and then five rules:
Face does not include a
Face does not include e
Face does not include i
Face does not include o
Face does not include u
The album includes all pics with unnamed faces, but also all pics with no faces (e.g., landscapes). I then scan thru looking for faces I want to name.
I also submitted a request to restore the real feature, as Terence recommended.

Smart Album with more than one criteria?

Can a single smart album have more then one criteria?
Every photo of my daughter in my library is tag with her name. I am trying to create a smart album using her name as the keyword that also rated 3 or more stars.
The steps I am taking are as follows:
1. Set the rating 3 stars or more. (instantly I see all photos in the library that are 3 or more stars)
2. Set keyword (my daughters name) with the condition, "include only the following" (the album still shows photos from step 1)
Any ideas?
Andre
Thanks,
Andre

Thank you, been trying to figure this out for hours and such a simple fix.
Thanks,

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.

Smart Albums with an OR or ANY option?

I'm trying to make a smart album of my daughter with any of her grandparents. I have grandparents keyworded by their first name.
When I make a smart album, is there any OR option where I can say it must have this keyword OR this keyword OR this keyword. or an ANY option where it can have ANY of the following keywords?

You may have to create some keywords like: daughter's name + grandmother's name, daughter's name + grandfather's name, etc.
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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto 8.1.2 can you create a smart album with only one face

I'm using iPhoto 8.1.2 and have about 23k photos in the library. I have identified 32 key faces, and would now like to create some smart albums that contain only the face or faces that I want and to exclude all the others. S for example a smart album that has only my son.
I tried using the doesn't contain this face, but you can only have around 10 filters/critiria in a smart album.
any suggestions are appriciated

You can't really, because you can't exclude enough of the faces.
I would keyword the preferred images as well, so finding the face and the keyword would find the pics of the person alone.

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

Create smart album with ONLY some faces

Hi. I need some help here. I created a smart album and I want it to have photos where only my girlfriend and I appear. I put two conditions: Face-is-my_name, and Face-is-mygirlfriend'sname. The problem is that it creates the album but it also contains photos where we and someone else appears, not only the two of us. Is there any way I can get it done?
Thanks for your posts.

Yes, I said to meet ALL conditions, and my smart album is in fact just like you said, with photos that have both of us but also other people.
But I get it, the only way to exclude other people is specifically by name. I just wanted to know if there was another "more automatic" way. Thanks a lot LarryHN.

Re: Smart Albums View Keyword option is missing from the view option How can it be turned on?

How can I use the keyword option in the view menu for my smart albums?

You do not use the view menu - you create a new smart album (or edit and existign one) and use the Keyword criteria as yoou wish

Smart Album with Only Favorite Pick of Stack Rather Than All Stack Picts

I am trying to create a smart albums where i would have only my favorite pictures. most of my pictures are in stacks and when i create an album with my favorites, i get every pictures of the stacks rather than the favorites.
do anyone knows a way to single out the favorite picture of the stack and have it in a (smart) album, without all the other pictures part of the same stack attached to it.
thanks for your help

Sorry, edited (one sentence was incomplete):
... for each album, you can define an album-specific stack pick which is different from the "overall" stack pic.
Let's say you have a project "client 1" with a stack containing images A, B, C, D. Let's make B the stack pick.
Now you can set up an album (or website, or book, or whatever) "client 1 my choice" and set image D to be the album pick. You can then set up another album "client 1 their choice" and set image C to be that album's album pick.
If you then view the album "client 1 my choice" you'll see image D. If you view the album "client 1 their choice", you'll get to see image C. If you view the project "client 1" in which your stack is residing, you'll see image B.
All this can be achieved without unstacking since the image (and stack) in the album is just a pointer to the original stack which resides in your project "client 1". I find this quite comfortable.

Trouble making a smart album with multiple search criteria

Hello,
I've been using Aperture 3 for a while now but never really created smart albums. Thought I'd give it a go this time around. My filter criteria are:
a) Select all images that have a rating of 1 star AND
b) Have a red colour label assigned to them.
The Filter HUD has the following settings:
a) Any/All pop up menu = All
b) Source: Project
c) Rating IS 1 star
d) Colour Label IS Red
The smart album adds images from the project that match the rating criteria even if they're not labelled "red". On the contrary, if unrated images that have a red label do not end up in the smart album (and correctly so, I must say).
My ultimate objective is to create 2 smart albums based on rating AND label color - 1 star & red goes to the client as proprietary, whereas 1 star & green goes up on Flickr as public.
Am I missing something? Please assist.
I look forward to a quick response.
Warm regards,
Faizan

The color label rule is puzzling, and does behave exactly opposite to what you'd expect: It shows the set of labels that are allowed.
You have to uncheck all labels you do not want ansd only keep the red label.
The active labels have a grey border, the others none.
Here is an example of an album with labelled images "red": Notice the grey border around the red button, and borders around the deselected buttons.
Was that quick enough?
Cheers
Léonie
