Using Smart Albums in Photo App - MBP to iPad to iPhone...
Hi,
A while back I created a smart album called 'Un-filed' in the Photos app, on my MBP (El Capitan 10.11.6) for a particular need...
I needed a way of seeing all the photos I captured with either my iPhone or iPad in one place and then later, being able to file them away to their relevant folders, but - still being able to see the images I didn't yet file away because they are my 'work in progress' images.
Before creating this smart album all my photos ended up in the default Photos/All photos album mixed up with every other image in my collections! That was my problem...
What I wanted to see was what I had photographed, but after filing them away, being able to see only the remaining un-filed images without them being mixed up with all my other photos in Photos/All photos.
Are you still with me?
Now, this works perfectly well when viewing/filing my images on my MBP as the smart Album named Un-filed, is my 'go to' album whenever I use the app.
But - this doesn't sync via iCloud to my devices!
If I am out with a client and I want to relate to a 'work in progress' image on one of my devices I have to sift through thousands of images in the Photos/All photos albums which is a real headache, instead of simply looking in my 'Un-filed' smart album and seeing the group of un-filed images.
(Some of my 'un-filed' work in progress images are months old before they are filed into an album as they are still 'work in progress').
So, my question is;
Is there another way that I haven't discovered yet, whereby I could be able to see the images in my 'Un-filed' smart album on my devices without sifting through the whole collection in Photos/All photos?
Many Thanks
