Searching by Rating
You can use the Filter HUD to see all images with a certain rating. For example, you can
search for all the images in a project that have a rating of five stars. You can show images
with a specific rating, images rated at or below a specific rating, or images rated at or
above a rating. Aperture is preset to hide images rated as rejected, showing only those
that are unrated or better.
You can also search using multiple rating criteria by adding several rating search criteria
options from the Add Rule pop-up menu. For example, you might create a search that
locates images that have a rating of three stars or four stars only.
