Browser and Viewer
You use the Browser to display images in projects and albums. When you select an
image in the Browser, a detailed view of the image appears in the Viewer. You can
quickly select other images by pressing the arrow keys.
You can move, copy, and sort your images in the Browser. You can drag images from
the Browser into other projects and albums in the Projects panel. You can also classify
your images by applying ratings and keywords to them.
You can display images in the Browser in grid view or list view. In grid view (shown
above), thumbnails are displayed for every image contained in a project or album. In
grid view you can identify your images by sight, working with the thumbnails. In list
view, your images are listed by file information, such as filename, pixel size, file size, and
rating. List view provides an easy way to sort your images by category. For more
information about the Browser, see Chapter 6, “
Working with Images in the Browser ,”
on page 69.
The Viewer displays a detailed view of images selected in the Browser so you can make
adjustments, compare similar images, and inspect images at full resolution. In the
Viewer, you can see a magnified view of specific image details. You can also apply
adjustments to your images in the Viewer. You can set the Viewer to display one, three,
or multiple images at a time. For more information, see Chapter 7, “
Displaying Images in
