By default, Photos doesn’t make it easy to see photos taken during a particular month. This is perhaps the most basic Smart Albums filter, but it can also be one of the most useful. Find All Images Taken During a Specific Period Rather than run through each one, we’re going to share some examples of how rules can be configured, to give you a feel for how simple, or complex these can be. There are a lot of different rules to choose from, with multiple combinations available. Selecting “All” will result in a smaller collection of images, whereas “Any” will require that only one or more of those rules be met for an image to be added to the album.īy selecting the drop-down menus, you can select which rules you wish to add, including those based on the type of photo, when it was taken, the keywords assigned, and more. If you have more than one rule configured, it’s important to select whether you want to have ‘Any” or “All” of them be matched before being added to the album. Next, give your new Smart Album a name and start to select the criteria that you want Photos to use when building the album.
