Specify the top photo in a stack
By default, Elements
Organizer automatically places the newest photo on top of a stack. You can specify the top photo
as you create the stack using the context menu, or you can specify a new top photo after you create the stack.
❖
Do one of the following:
•
After you’ve selected the photos for your stack, right-click/ctrl-click the photo you want on top and choose Stack
>
Stack Selected Photos.
•
After you’ve created the stack, right-click/ctrl-click the stack in the Media Browser and choose Stack
> Expand
Photos In Stack to show all the photos in the stack. Then right-click/ctrl-click the photo you want to be on top and
choose Stack
> Set As Top Photo. The selected photo moves to the leftmost position in the expanded stack and
becomes the top photo in the stack.
Before (left) and after (right) Set As Top Photo.
Edit photos in a stack
When you edit a photo in a stack and save the edited copy as a version, both the edited version and the original photo
are stacked together as a version set, which is nested in the original stack. If you edit a photo in the Media Browser (for
example, by using Auto Smart Fix), a version set is automatically created.
1 In the Media Browser, do one of the following:
•
To edit a photo other than the topmost photo, select a stack and choose Edit > Stack
> Expand Photos In Stack.
Select the photo you want to edit.
•
To edit the topmost photo in a stack, select the stack and proceed to step 2.
2 Do one of the following:
•
Choose Edit > Auto Smart Fix, Edit > Auto Red Eye Fix, or Edit > Rotate and make your edits. Elements
Organizer
automatically saves your edited photo as a version in a version set with the original photo.
•
Select Fix > Edit Photos to open the photo in the Editor. After making edits, choose File
> Save As. Select the Save
In Version Set With Original option to stack the new version in the version set with the original photo.
•
The newly edited copy is placed on top of the original image, or the most recently edited copy.
You can right-click to access all Stack commands from the context menu instead of the Edit menu.
