Organizing photos
Last updated 4/20/2015
Sort collections
• In the Collections panel, click the Plus icon (+) and do one of the following:
• Choose Sort By Name to sort collections alphabetically.
• Choose Sort By Kind to sort collections by type.
Rename a collection or collection set
1 In the Collections panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a collection or collection set, and choose
Rename from the menu.
2 Overwrite the name of the collection.
Set a target collection
A target collection allows you to override the temporary Quick Collection. A target collection lets you make any
permanent collection behave as a Quick Collection for as long as it is targeted. Targeted collections are an easy way to
quickly group photos together for further processing.
1 In the Collections panel, select the collection that you want to target.
Note: A collection set cannot be a target.
2 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) and choose Set As Target Collection.
A white plus icon next to the collection name indicates that it is targeted.
3 To add a photo to a target collection, select the photo in any module and press the B key.
4 To remove a photo from a target collection, select target collection, and then select the photo in the Grid view, and
press the B key.
5 To turn off the target, select the collection, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS), and deselect Set As
Target Collection.
Work with the Quick Collection
Use the Quick Collection to assemble a temporary group of photos to work with in any module. You can view the Quick
Collection in the Filmstrip or in the Grid view, and you can convert the Quick Collection to a permanent collection.
Add photos to the Quick Collection
1 Select one or more photos in the Filmstrip or the Grid view.
2 In the Library or Develop module, choose Photo > Add To Quick Collection. In the Slideshow, Print, or Web
modules, choose Edit > Add To Quick Collection.
From any module, select a photo and press the B key. Or move the pointer over a thumbnail image and click the circle
in its upper-right corner.
View photos in the Quick Collection
• In the Library module, select Quick Collection in the Catalog panel.
• In the Filmstrip Source Indicator menu, choose Quick Collection.
Remove photos from or clear the Quick Collection
1 Display the Quick Collection in the Filmstrip or Grid view.
2 Select one or more photos in the collection.
