About smart albums
Like albums, smart albums contain photos of your choosing. However, instead of selecting individual photos or groups
of photos, with smart albums, you set the criteria for inclusion. After you set the criteria, any photo in a catalog that
matches the criteria of a smart album will appear automatically in that smart album. As you add new photos to the
catalog, those photos matching the smart album criteria will also appear automatically in the smart album. Smart
albums keep themselves up-to-date.

Create a smart album
1 Select the types of photos you want in your smart album by doing any of the following:
• If you want the smart album to include only photos with certain keyword tags, select those keyword tags from the
Keyword Tags panel.
• If you want the smart album to include only photos with certain star ratings, in the star ratings filter menu, click
the desired star, then select And Higher, And Lower, or Only from the menu next to the stars.
• If you want the smart album to include only photos within a certain folder, select Display > Folder Location.
Then, click the icon for the desired folder.
• If you want the smart album to include only photos you place into a certain album, select that album.
Note: You can apply more than one criterion to your selection. For example, you can select a folder or album and one or
more keyword tags.
2 In the Albums panel, click the Create A New Album Or Album Category button . Then, select New Smart
Album.
The New Smart Album dialog box opens.
3 Type a name for your smart album and click OK.
