Saving Your Search Results

When you perform a search using the Filter HUD, you can save your results in several ways. You can create a new Smart Album that locates images that match the search criteria. You can also save the search results themselves in a new album, book album, Light Table album, slideshow album, MobileMe album, Flickr album, Facebook album, Smart Web Page Album, webpage album, or web journal album.

To create a Smart Album based on the search criteria

Use the Filter HUD to search for images based on specified criteria.
In the Filter HUD, click the New Smart Album button.
A new, untitled Smart Album appears in the Library inspector.
Enter a name for the Smart Album, then press Return.

When you add images to a project or the library that match the search criteria, they are automatically added to the Smart Album.

For more information, see Grouping Images with Smart Albums.
