how do I find "hidden" photos in iPhoto

I have 10,000 photos in iPhoto. It says I have 3 "hidden" photos. I don't know why they are hidden. So, I want to look at those three photos to decide whether I want to keep them, trash them, or continue to hide them. However, it is not clear in Help whether there is an easy way to do that. It sounds like the only was is to show hidden photos among the 10,000 and then one by one check each of the 10,000 out. Not worth it. Does anybody know an easy way to show just those photos that are hidden???

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)

Two things:

  • Enable the display of "Hidden" photos in the "View" menu.
  • User uploaded file
  • And then create a smart album of hidden photos:
    From the "File" menu. File > New > Smart album,
    add a rule: Photo is Hidden.


User uploaded file

I didn't mean literally in the trash, but like a trash file called "hidden photos." Or a view option of seeing just hidden photos. Or a sort option of hidden photos. Just seems to me that the developer could make it easier for users to find "hidden" photos. But, I guess that's why the developers called them "hidden", cause you can't find them.
