Q: How to apply Smart Album criteria to existing photos
Hi,
I have just read about Smart Albums and they seem to be ideal for sorting my 9000 odd photos.
Is it possible to make a Smart Album apply the sort criteria to all my existing photos not just the new photos that are added to iPhoto?
The reason I ask is that I have just tried to sort by location, using a name that appears in the location box of the info screen, but nothing appears in the smart folder.
Thanks in anticipation.

THe way smart albums work is you set them up and immediatel you have an album of photos that match your criteria - do one and see

Sorry but this does not compute
smart albums can not sort and there is no such thing as a smart folder
What exactly are you doing and asuming that it is a smart album what is the exact criteria for the smart album?
