Arrange photos in the Light Table
Light Table overview
The Light Table provides a large, open space where you can freely resize, group, and rearrange
photos. You can work with photos in the Light Table just as you would work with slides on a
physical light table. You can place a selection of photos in the Light Table for review and drag
them to new positions, arranging, grouping, and resizing them in different combinations to see
how they might look on webpages or book pages. The Light Table automatically displays yellow
guidelines that show you how the item you’re working with aligns with other items already on
the page. You never run out of space in the Light Table—it grows as you add photos to it, and it’s
easy to adjust the view by zooming in or changing the area of the Light Table that’s shown.
