3. Proceed comparing images within the stack to the stack pick, and press Return if
you want an image with a white border to become the new stack pick, which
changes its border to green. The next image in the stack appears for you to compare
until you have reviewed all the images in the stack.

Creating and Working with
Light Tables
As great as it is to work with digital images, sometimes it feels like it would be easier if you could
spread the images out in front of you and arrange then as if you were dealing with prints or slides.
Using Light Table enables you to work with your digital images in a very similar way with the
advantages that you can resize the images as well as the Light Table itself. A Light Table can be
particularly helpful when trying to organize images for a slide show or book, or when color cor-
recting many related photos, or when creating a collage. To create a Light Table, take these steps:
1. In the Library panel, choose the project or album where you want the Light Table
to appear. Then select the images you want to view in the Light Table. You can select
more images than you ultimately need because the images you select initially only
appear in the Browser for the Light Table.
2. To create the new Light Table, click the New button in the toolbar and choose Light
Table. A dialog appears in which you give the new Light Table a name.
3. In addition to typing a name for the Light Table, select the Add selected items to
new light table option.
4. Click OK. The new Light Table appears in the Library panel. The interface changes
slightly as shown in Figure 3.31. The Viewer is now a Light Table with a grid, and there
are some different buttons above it and above the Browser.
5. To add additional images to the Light Table, choose any image or images in the
library and drag them onto the Light Table in the Library panel.
To begin arranging your images, select one or more in the Browser and drag them onto the Light
Table. As long as the group of images is selected, they all move as a unit on the Light Table. To
move a single image, click anywhere on the Light Table except on an image. Then click the image.
You'll see the image has a thick white border, as shown in Figure 3.31.
