In the fourth Live Training session, we dug into Aperture’s search capabilities. The search HUD (Head’s Up Display) and Smart Album interface are one and the same, so we dissected this dialog and showed just how powerful searching really is in Aperture 3. The tools to find *that photo* are one of Aperture’s greatest strengths, and understanding search can help you understand just how deep the metadata rabbit hole goes.

This session ran a little over 30 minutes, with minimal Q&A. I was broadcasting from a hotel in Vietnam at an odd time for the usual live audience!
