Organizing photos
Last updated 4/20/2015
2 Choose Photo > Stacking > Group Into Stack.
The stacked photos are arranged contiguously and display stacking order numbers in the upper-left corner of their
thumbnails. The top photo in the stack is “1,” the next photo is “2,” and so forth.
Note: If you select two stacks and choose Photo > Stacking > Group Into Stack, only the top photo from the second stack is
moved into the stack you selected first.
Unstack photos
1 In the Grid view or the Filmstrip in the Library module, select the thumbnail of a collapsed stack. Or, if the stack is
expanded, select any photo in the stack. You don’t have to select all photos in the stack.
2 Choose Photo > Stacking > Unstack.
Add photos to a stack
1 In the Grid view or the Filmstrip in the Library module, select the stack and one or more photos that you want to
add to the stack.
2 Choose Photo > Stacking > Group Into Stack.
Expand and collapse stacks
Expanding a stack displays all the photos in the stack. When you collapse a stack, all the photos are grouped under the
thumbnail of the top photo. The number of photos in the stack is displayed in the upper-left corner of the thumbnail.
❖ In the Grid view or the Filmstrip in the Library module, do any of the following:
• To expand a stack, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a collapsed stack and choose Stacking >
Expand Stack, or click the stacking number displayed in the upper-left corner of the photo. You can also select a
collapsed stack and choose Photo > Stacking > Expand Stack.
• To expand all stacks, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) any photo and choose Stacking > Expand
All Stacks, or select any photo and choose Photo > Stacking > Expand All Stacks.
• To collapse a stack, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a photo in the stack and choose Stacking >
Collapse Stack, or click the stacking number in the upper-left corner of the photo. You can also select a photo in
the stack and choose Photo > Stacking > Collapse Stack.
• To collapse all stacks, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) any photo and choose Stacking >
Collapse All Stacks, or select any photo and choose Photo > Stacking > Collapse All Stacks.
Remove or delete photos from a stack
Removing photos from a stack keeps them in the Lightroom catalog. Deleting photos from a stack removes them from
both the stack and the catalog. Using the Delete Photos command, you also have the option of removing photos from
the catalog and deleting them from the hard drive.
1 In the Grid view or the Filmstrip in the Library module, expand a stack.
2 Select one or more photos in the stack and do one of the following:
• To remove photos from the stack, choose Photo > Stacking > Remove From Stack.
• To delete photos from the stack, choose Photo > Delete Photos. You can also right-click (Windows) or Control-
click (Mac OS) a thumbnail and choose Delete Photo from the menu.
Removing or deleting a photo from a stack containing only two photos unstacks the photos.
