Grouping photos

To group several pictures together, like all my pictures of dragonflies, we select several pictures, we click “Stacks” in the menu bar and choose “Group as Stack.”

As you can see above, a group of the selected photos appears.
Top left of the group, the number photos in that group is displayed.
If we click on that number, all images are displayed separately.
If we click again on the figure, they are displayed again as a group.

There’s something else that I want to show you.
To do this, open the workspace that I’ve created in the previous lesson.
I select the dragonfly group that I have just created and I double click the left and right edges so that the tabs become invisible and I get to see my photos in full preview screen.

Click a picture, then zoom in on that particular place in the picture. There appears something like a magnifying glass.
You can click and drag, to move the magnifying glass.
By clicking on the top right of the magnifying glass, you can close it.

Slideshow

What also became better in the version 2.0 of the Bridge, is the Slideshow.
To view, click “View” – “Slideshow” from the menu bar.
It begins playing immediately at full screen size of your monitor.

We can enter our slideshow settings by choosing “View” – “Slidesow Options” from the menu bar.
This opens a dialog that is so clear that it needs no explanation.

OK, that was for the Bridge, I hope I forgot nothing because it is a useful thing, especially when you have a lot of pictures.

Awesome!
