To stack images automatically:
1
Choose Stacks > Auto-Stack (or press Command-Option-A).
2
In the Auto-Stack Images HUD, drag the slider to specify the maximum length of time
for a series of shots.
As you drag the slider, the images in the Browser automatically stack themselves
according to the length of time specified. For example, if you typically shoot a series of
related images in a span of 10 seconds, set the slider to 10 seconds.
3
Inspect the stacks to determine if the time interval should be shortened or lengthened.
Creating Stacks Manually
After importing photos, you can quickly review the images and delete those that you
see have technical or content flaws. You may then want to group the remaining images
into stacks before rating them. Stacking images manually can help provide you with an
initial organization and an overview of your shots, which you can then put through a
more refined or discriminating rating pass later.
To create a stack manually:
1
In the Browser, select the images you want to stack.

the maximum time span
for a series of shots.
The Stack button

current pick image.
The selected images are now
stacked and have a dark gray
line around them.
