Aperture: Show all images or sort by rating

If you want to quickly display images that are rated a certain number of stars or higher, just use the keyboard shortcuts below.

While shortcuts are the fastest way to do this, you should also note that it's the exact same effect as clicking the magnifying glass button to access the Filter HUD. So if you wanted to add additional criteria to the filter, you could simply click the magnifying glass to do so.

The shortcut for "show all images" has the same effect as manually clearing the settings in the Filter HUD.

The filter always applies to the group of images that you currently have in your browser, which is determined by your selection in the project list. To apply a filter to all images in your Library, you would select the Library; to apply the filter to images in a project, select the project, and so forth.

Tip: Filters treat stacks based on the pick only. If your pick is a 4★, but you also have a 5★ in the stack, the entire stack will be missing when filtering for 5★.

Note: Page 115 in the Aperture Getting Started guide contains a copy of this list with incorrect "Show all" and "Show unrated" shortcuts. The shortcuts below are correct.
