Tips for Creating Stacks Quickly and Efficiently
One secret to an efficient photo edit is to quickly group related images into stacks
before rating. Here is a suggested method for quickly creating multiple stacks in a fast
initial pass through your images.
To create multiple stacks quickly:
1 Drag related images into easily selectable rows or groups.
Adjacent images are the easiest to select when creating stacks.
2 Select an image at one end of the series.
3 Holding down the Shift key, press the Right Arrow or Left Arrow key to quickly select
additional images. To select individual images that are not adjacent, Command-click
the images.
4 Press Command-K to create the new stack.
5 Press Shift-K to close the stack.
∏ Tip: To quickly move from stack to stack in the Browser, press Option–Page Up or
Option–Page Down.
