In-Depth Information
1.
Create a new event
.
Click the Add Event button at the bottom of the window. (You can do this from Media
view, too.) The Organizer switches you to a view where you see all your photos (or, if
you preselected some images, just the selected ones) and the Add New Event panel on
the right of your screen.
2.
Enter the info for your event
.
In the top section of the panel, give the event a name, set its date(s), and enter a de-
scription, if you like. It's best to avoid punctuation like commas, which can throw off
searching for the event later. Stick to letters, numbers, underscores and dashes (hy-
phens).
3.
Add your photos, if you didn't select them before you started this process
.
You can control which photos are displayed in the middle of the Organizer by using
the Albums or Folders panel on the left side of the screen. (If you don't see this panel,
click the Show button in the lower left of your screen.) Click the name of a folder or
an album and you see only the photos it contains. To get back to all photos, click the
All Media button above the photo area's top-left corner. If you change your mind
about creating an event, click the Cancel button at the lower right of the Organizer
window.
To add photos to the event, drag their thumbnails to the lower part of the Add New
Event panel (called the
Media Bin
), or select their thumbnails and then click “Add to
Media Bin” at the bottom of your screen. There are also buttons in the lower left of
the screen that select or deselect
all
your photos. If you want to remove a photo after
you've added it to the Media Bin, click it in the bin and then click the little trashcan at
the bin's lower left.
4.
When you're finished, click Done
.
Events view also lets you use a calendar to search for events by date. Click the Calendar but-
ton at the bottom right of the view's window, and the Calendar panel opens.
Figure 2-18
ex-
plains how to use it. To close the panel, click the Calendar button again.
