Inspector
The Inspector has three tabs within it to let
you inspect different items. The initial tab is
the Library tab. The Library Inspector has two
groups, as shown in Figure 1.9. At the top is a
library-wide group that lets you see all your
projects, all your images, every face in your
library, and more (we discuss this section

group that has both built-in Library Albums —
Smart Albums that search your entire library
for certain groups of images — as well as all

your project, album, and folder names for a match. Next to the search field is an Action pop-up
menu. This menu contains the following four commands:
Add to Favorites/Remove from Favorites.
Over time, you will end up with many items
in your Library Inspector. To filter the list so that you only see your favorite items, select

it in the Library Inspector and choose Add to Favorites from the Action pop-up menu.
