Working with Albums
Photo albums allow easy identification and access to images for viewing, editing, printing, etc.
Simply click on the Get Photo button on the Main Screen, and select Album to view the album
options. It is important to remember that albums do not store images. When an album is created,
thumbnails are generated and a reference to where the files are located is recorded in the album
file. For example, if a thumbnail is added into an album from a floppy disk, that floppy disk must
be in the floppy drive in order to view the file.
Album Tools
Album Selector - allows you to view your albums through a pull-down. You can select “[New]” to start a new, blank album. You can give the new album a name by typing over “New Album 1”(PC), or “Untitled” (Mac).

You can add multiple files at one time by holding down Ctrl (PC) or Shift (Mac) while clicking on each file to be added. You can also add a range of files by holding down the Shift key while clicking on the first and last file (Windows only).
