Operation Manual

3 In the Auto-Stack Images HUD, drag the slider to specify the maximum interval for
successive shots in a stack.
Move the slider to indicate
the maximum interval for
successive shots.
As you drag the slider, the images in the Browser are stacked according to the interval
of time specified. For example, if you typically shoot a series of related images in 15-second
intervals, set the slider to 15 seconds.
4 Inspect the stacks to determine if the time interval should be shortened or lengthened.
Note: You can also manually select images in the Import browser and stack and unstack
them using the same commands and procedures you use to stack images in the Browser.
Creating Stacks Manually
After importing photos, you may want to quickly review them and delete those that you
immediately see have technical or content flaws. You may then want to group the
remaining images into stacks before rating them. Stacking images manually can help
provide an initial organization and an overview of your shots, which you can then put
through a more refined or discriminating rating pass later.
To create a stack manually
1 In the Browser, select the images you want to stack.
You can Shift-click adjacent images and Command-click nonadjacent images to select
them.
Tip: As a fast way to select a series of images, select an image at one end of the series,
hold down the Shift key, and press the Right Arrow or Left Arrow key to select additional
images. You can also Command-click to select individual images that are not adjacent to
the initial selection.
