On a Mac or on an iPad/iPhone?


On a Mac:



File -> New Smart Album


Album -> Is Not -> Any


will find these images. As you add them to albums they will disappear from the Smart Album.


On iPad or iPhone, which do not currently support Smart Albums:


Check out HashPhotos

It integrates with Photos on your iOS device and adds a Smart Album feature. Using this app a search
