 * Hi
 * I’ve tried to find the answer but didn’t succeed.
    Inside Photo Album Plus I 
   can put category, but how to pick category-photos?
 * Albums to introduce photographer’s production are
    Photographer’s Peter Album
   Peter-photo-1 category landscape Peter-photo-2 category butterfly Peter-photo-
   3 category portrait Photographer’s Jack Album Jack-photo-1 category landscape
   Jack-photo-2 category portrait Jack-photo-3 category buttrefly
 * Problem:
    How to make slideshow Landscape-photos so that it picks all landscape
   photos of all the albums?
