Step Three:
To see the photos represented by that
little orange pin, just hover your cursor
over it and a little preview window pops
up that shows you a thumbnail of the first
image. (By the way, if you double-click on
the orange pin, the preview window pops
up and stays.) To see more photos, just
click the left and right arrows on the sides
of the preview window (or you can use
the
Left/Right Arrow keys
on your key-
board). Double-click on any one of the
image previews to open it in Loupe view
in the Library module. If you click on the
orange map pin, it turns gold and selects
all the photos. This is why this makes a
pretty cool, very visual way to organize
your photos.
Step Four:
But, what if you don't have GPS data
embedded into your photos? You can still
add photos to the map—you just do it
manually by searching for the location
(this is easier than it sounds), and then
dragging the images you want assigned
to that location to the location on the
map. For example, here is a set of photos
taken in Lake Placid, New York, but with-
out any GPS data. All you do is go up to
the Search field above the top-right corner
of the map itself (if you don't see it, press
Command-F [PC: Ctrl-F]
), and type in
“Lake Placid, New York” and it locates Lake
Placid on the map for you. Now all you do
is select all those photos from Lake Placid
in the Filmstrip, and drag-and-drop them
right on the pin that represents Lake Placid.
Also, if you have images from a well-known
monument, like the Eiffel Tower or the Taj
Mahal, you can just type “Eiffel Tower” or
“Taj Mahal” and it will find it for you.
