Sorting Your Photos
iPhoto displays your photos in the order in which you imported them. You can
rearrange photos in the photo library by sorting them in a variety of ways.
To sort, choose View > Sort Photos, and then choose an option from the submenu:
 "by Film Roll" arranges photos in the order they were imported. Film roll markers
indicate photos that were imported together. You can arrange photos by film roll
only in your photo library.
 "by Date" arranges photos by the date on which they were taken.
 "by Keyword" arranges photos alphabetically by any keywords you’ve assigned to
them (see “Using Keywords,” next).
 "by Title" arranges photos alphabetically by their titles.
 "by Rating" arranges photos from highest to lowest rating. (You can rate your photos
to mark your favorites. See “Did You Know?—Rating Photos” on page 12.)
To quickly display only your most recent film rolls, click the Last Rolls icon in the Source
list; to display only your most recent photos, click the Last Months icon.
Using Keywords
Keywords are labels you can add to your photos, such as “Birthday” or “Sports,” so you
can easily find all the photos in a specific category.
iPhoto comes with some basic keywords; you can assign these to your photos or create
your own keywords by editing the Keywords list in iPhoto Preferences. Once you add a
keyword to the Keywords list, you can assign it to any photo you choose.
To assign keywords to your photos:
m Click the Keywords button in the bottom-left corner of the window and drag a photo
from the iPhoto viewing area to a keyword in the Keywords pane.
Or you can do the following:
1 Select the photo or photos you want to keyword.
2 Choose Photos > Get Info.
3 Click the Keywords button at the top of the Photo Info window.
