Chapter 4 Organize and sort photos 96
Work with stacked photos
You can change the order of photos in a stack, add or remove photos in a stack, split a stack into
multiple stacks, and drag a stack (or photos within a stack) to a new location.
Promote a photo in a stack
You can change the order of photos within a stack to help you choose the pick and alternates.
Moving a photo to the left promotes it; moving it to the right demotes it.
m To promote a photo: Select a photo, then choose Stacks > Promote, or press Command–Left
Bracket ([).
m To demote a photo: Select a photo, then choose Stacks > Demote, or press Command–Right
Bracket (]).
You can also drag a photo to a new location in a stack. When you see a green bar appear, then
release the mouse button.
Add or remove photos in stacks
You can add photos to and remove photos from stacks at any time. You can drag photos into or
out of a stack, and you can also drag photos from one stack to another.
m To add a photo: Select the photos in a stack and the photo you want to add to the stack, then
choose Stacks > Stack (or press Command-K).
m To remove a photo: Select the photo, then choose Stacks > Extract Item (or press Option-Shift-K).
You can also drag photos into or out of expanded stacks.
Split a stack
You can split a stack into multiple stacks to refine the organization of your photos. All photos
remain stacked, but they are now part of new stacks. The photo selected as the splitting point
becomes the pick for the new stack.
1 In an expanded stack, select the photo that you want as the first photo in a new stack.
Select the photo you
want as the first image
in the new stack.
2 Choose Stacks > Split Stack (or press Option-K).
The selected image becomes
the pick in the new stack, which
is marked with a white outline.
