Smart Album To Find only 2 people

I am trying to create a smart album that only contains my two girls. I have all of the faces identified, and want to create a album that has photos of the 2 of them and ONLY the 2 of them and no one else. How do I get an album of only pictures my 2 girls and exclude the photos where they are in the picture, but so are a lot of other people? I started with making the album that includes them and then adding *does not include* other named faces that may be in the photo with them but that is becoming rather tedious as I have over 300 identified and named people in my people album. I would think that I could make an album that says "I want photos that include these 2 people and ONLY these 2 people".

You need a work-around to do this.

Start with the smart_album Match All: "Person is Girl 1 " and "Person is Girl2".

To weed out all other photos with other people browse this album and add a keyword "Crowd" or similar to the photos you do not want in the album of your two girls. Then change the smart album to Match All: "Person is Girl 1 " and "Person is Girl 2" and Keyword is not "Crowd".

Thank you léonie! You are ALWAYS helpful with my questions.

Your suggestion does help, however it requires me to go through over 2000 photos and add keywords to the ones that have other people in them. Its again tedious but not as bad as having to "exclude" the 300 named faces in my library.

Sigh, I just wish the smart album was smart enough to include the option to find photos with ONLY those 2 people.


Thank you again
