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)
