Search for a photo in the lmstrip
When you have more photos than the lmstrip can display at once, you can use the search eld
in the lmstrip to quickly locate photos. The search is conned to the selection in the Library
pane of the Inspector HUD.
m Enter text associated with that photo in the lmstrip’s search eld.
Aperture nds the relevant photo or photos for you, removing others from view. To see all your
photos again, click the search eld’s Reset button (with an X) or delete the text in the search eld.
Important: You can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly implement a search that displays
photos with specic ratings or photos that have a specic keyword. It’s possible, while working
with photos, to accidentally press such a keyboard shortcut and see photos on your screen
unexpectedly change or even disappear. If this happens, you can display your photos by clicking
the Reset button in the search eld to reset the search criteria in the Filter HUD.

you can lter photos by whether they’ve been agged or assigned a color label.
