WHAT IS A
P
ORTFOLIO?
Portfolios are subsets of collections — for example, a collection of
data records representing your family photos might include separate
portfolios for your children, your parents, your brothers and/or
sisters, your in-laws, and so on.
Placing records in a portfolio does not remove them from a
collection, and any record in a collection may belong to several
different portfolios.
CREATING A
P
ORTFOLIO
ImageAXS creates temporary portfolios automatically whenever you
search a collection (see “How Do I Search a Collection or Portfolio?”
on page 9-1). You can also create portfolios based on a personal
visual selection of records (for example, your favorite photos or best
works of 3D art).
To create a portfolio of selected records:
STEP 1 Select the records that you want to include in your portfolio.
STEP 2 Choose Open Selection as Portfolio from the Record menu, or
click the Open Selection as Portfolio button in the button panel.
Your selected records appear in a temporary portfolio
window, displayed in the Thumbnails View.
