Many actions applied to a collapsed stack, such as editing, e-mailing, printing, and so forth, are applied to the
topmost item only. (However, if you move a collapsed stack, all the photos in the stack move.) To apply an action
to all the photos in a stack, expand or unstack the photos and select all of the photos individually. To apply an action
to some photos in a stack, expand the stack and select those photos individually.
•
If you apply a tag to a collapsed stack, the tag is applied to all items in the stack. When you search for the tag, all
items in the stack appear individually in the search results. If you want to apply a tag to only one or a few photos in
a stack, expand the stack and then apply the tag to those photos.
•
A stack can contain a version set. If you edit an original photo that’s already in a stack, Elements
Organizer
automatically creates a version set with the original photo and its edited copy. The version set is nested in the
original stack. It’s also possible to manually stack existing version sets.
•
You can access all stack commands by right-clicking/ctrl-clicking or by using the Edit menu.

Stack visually similar photos automatically (Windows)
Elements
Organizer can automatically stack photos that are visually similar and taken during short time intervals. For
example, if you take a series of photos of one person in rapid succession, or take pictures of the same objects with
different light settings, Elements
Organizer can group the photos and suggest a stack.
