Q: How do I filter only favorited photos from within a specific album or folder?
I was used to using Aperture prior to Apple Photos. There was a great feature of starring the pictures that helped a lot the editing/choosing process. This feature isn't available in Apple Photos, although I like this new software, I find the process of choosing which pictures are going to be used from a specific situation very poor. the closes feature to the stars is the Favories, but the only way to use it is on the favorites tab, I couldn't find a way to choosing the photos I'm actually going to keep in a specific album.
Anyone has any idea on how to improve the pictures selection or how to better use the Favorites feature?
thanks a lot
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Add a keyword "5 Star" to new photos. You can do so by typing 5 Star into the "keywords" field of the Info panel. Or open the Keyword Manager with ⌘K.
If you drag the keywords "5 Star", "4 Star", etc to the top Quick Group, you can use the keys 5, 4, ... as keyboard shortcuts to assign the keyword "5 Star", "4 Star", just like in iPhoto.
