Using More Than One Album in a Project
For some projects, it makes sense to use several albums within the project. You can use
albums in several ways, including:
 Albums as events: Break a project into a series of albums according to specific events.
For example, a wedding project can be divided into albums for each of the following
events: Preparation, Ceremony, and Reception.
 Albums as days: Break a project that spans multiple days into albums for individual
days. For example, a project consisting of a two-week trip to Japan can be divided
into 14 individual albums corresponding to each day.
 Albums for specific subjects: Break a project consisting of multiple photographed
subjects into individual albums dedicated to each subject. For example, a studio
photographer may shoot three models for a single project. The photographer can
create an album for each model. Or you might create albums to hold specific image
types, such as candid shots, landscapes, or close-ups.
