To delete all photos from a version set including the original photo, choose Edit > Delete From Catalog. In the
Confirm Deletion From Catalog dialog box, select the Delete All Items In Collapsed Version Sets option.
•
To delete the original photo from a version set, choose Edit > Version Set
> Expand Items In Version Set. Select the
original photo in the version set, and press the Delete key. If the original has only one immediate child (edited copy)
and if the immediate child has its own edited copy (child), deleting the original makes the first immediate child the
new original of the version set. If the original has multiple children (edited copies), deleting the original keeps the
remaining children in a version set.
Note: It’s usually best to save the original version of your photo as a “digital negative” for making variants of the image.
A digital negative contains all of the original information, has not been compressed, and has not lost data. Delete it only
if you are confident that you’ll never need the original version again. After you delete the original photo from your catalog
and computer, you cannot recover it.
Edit photos in a version set
When you edit a photo in a version set and save it using the Save In Version Set With Original option in the Save As
dialog box, the edited copy is added to the original version set; it is not nested within an additional version set.
1 In the Media Browser, do one of the following:
•
To edit the top photo, select the version set.
•
To edit a photo other than the top photo, select the version set and choose Edit > Version Set
> Expand Items In
Version Set. Then select the photo you want to edit.
2 Select the photo and Select Fix > Edit Photos to open the photo in the Editor.
3 Edit the photo and select File > Save As. In the Save As dialog box, select the Save In Version Set With Original
option to include the copy and the original in the version set.
The newly edited copy becomes the top photo of the version set.
About Video Scene Groups and Scene Groups
When you run Auto-Analyzer on a video file, Elements
Organizer analyzes the video file, breaks it into smaller video
clips, and groups them in a scene group. For example, you have captured video containing footage of a full day at
Disneyland with friends. Running Auto-Analyzer separates the different scenes from the day into separate clips, and
groups them. You can expand the group to play, tag, star rate, or add captions to the different scenes in a group.
Viewing Video Scene Groups in a Scene Group
Video Scenes make it easy to locate and use the different scenes in a video clip. You can view the Video Scene Groups
of a master file in Elements
Organizer.
1 In the Media Browser, select the video scene, and do one of the following:
•
Click the Expand button
beside the video scene thumbnail.
•
Choose Edit > Video Scene > Expand Items In The Scene Group.
•
Right-click the video scene, and select Video Scene > Expand Items In The Scene Group.
2 While viewing the expanded Video Scene, you can delete, or tag the individual Video Scene Groups.
3 To play any of the Video Scene Groups, double click the individual Video Scene. To play the entire master file,
Alt+double-click any of the Video Scene Groups.
