5 smart albums to help you organize your iPhoto library: “
Like smart playlists in iTunes, smart albums in iPhoto provide a way for you to better organize your photos. Whether it’s a list of your most recent photos or photos with a specified aperture range, there are countless smart albums you could create to fit your needs. Here are a few of my favorite.
Recently added: I always like having my most recent photos with me, and this is the smart album that gives them to me.
- Match the following condition.
- Date is in the last ‘90 days’ (or whatever date range you prefer).
The smart family album: Say there are three family members in a family — Tobias Fünke (dad), Lindsay Fünke (mom) and Maebe Fünke (daughter) — and you want pictures of all of them in one place.
- Match any of the following conditions.
- Face is ‘Tobias.’
- Face is ‘Lindsay.’
- Face is ‘Maebe.’
The camera-specific smart album: We’ve recently added a new member to the camera family, the Canon EOS 40D. But, like many a household, ours is one with several different cameras, and sometimes it’s nice to see where each photo originated from.
- Match the following condition.
- Camera Model is ‘Canon EOS40D’
A smart album for videos: Some digital cameras these days can also function as ‘good enough’ alternatives for camcorders. Here’s a smart album that collects all of your videos imported from your digital cameras.
- Match the following condition.
- Photo is ‘Movie.’
The best of the best: Your highest rated photos in one place
- Match the following condition.
- My rating is greater than ‘*’ (or however many stars you desire)
