In the Browser, you can display thumbnails in any of three views:

Filmstrip view: Displays a single row of photos that you can select and navigate through.

Viewer

Browser in

filmstrip view

Grid view: Displays thumbnails of your photos in a grid pattern. Use grid view when it’s easiest
to identify your photos by sight and work with thumbnails as you organize, stack, or assign
keywords to photos.

List view: Displays a list of your photos with associated file information. Use list view when you
need to see or sort your photos by corresponding file properties such as image date, file size,
or rating.

view in the Browser

List view is a great way to quickly see information about your files. You can also use list view to
sort your photos by any of the column categories. Click a column heading to sort your photos
by that category.

You can also customize the information that appears with your photos in the Browser. For
example, you can set your photos to appear with the filename as well as the IPTC data and
EXIF data. You can change what information appears in the Browser in grid view, list view, and
filmstrip view by customizing the Metadata options in the Browser & Viewer Metadata window.
