Save 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 photos that match the search criteria. You can also save the search results themselves in a new album, book album, Light Table album, slideshow album, Flickr album, Facebook album, Smart Web Page Album, webpage album, or web journal album.

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