Viewing your photos in the Photo Well
Once your photos are in Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, they appear in the Photo Well as thumbnail images.
You can adjust the appearance of the thumbnails by dragging the slider below the Photo Well.
Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 also gives you different ways to sort your catalog in the Photo Well. In the
options bar, you can choose from the following sort options in the Sort pop-up menu:
•
Date (Newest First) to show the most recently taken or imported photos first. (Within a given day, the photos are
still shown in the order they were taken, oldest-first). Newest-first order is convenient when you need to attach
tags to the photos you imported most recently.
•
Date (Oldest First) to show all the photos in chronological order.
•
Import Batch to display photos in the batches in which they were imported. Each batch is separated by a bar that
displays information about the way you got the photos.
•
Folder Location to display photos by the folders in which they are stored.
Above the Photo Well is the Timeline. It helps you view and find photos by date. The height of each bar in the
timeline shows the number of photos in each month, import batch, or folder. You can select a range of photos to
view by clicking a bar or dragging the endpoints of the timeline.
In the options bar just under the Photo Well are controls for viewing photos and their properties. Among the controls
is a Full Screen Slideshow
button that instantly displays a slideshow of the photos you’ve selected in the Photo
Well.
