Using the Preview Pane
The Preview pane, located under the Thumbnail pane, is a convenient way
to view and edit information about a picture or pictures. The Preview pane
displays the information about the pictures selected in the Thumbnail pane. You
can click any of the fields (except file size and image size) in the Preview pane
to edit the information.
To use the Preview pane:
1. In the Thumbnail pane, select the picture you want to preview. To select
multiple pictures, press CTRL while you click the thumbnails.
2. Click one of the following fields:
• File name will change the file name for all selected pictures. If more
than one picture is selected, the file names will be the base name that
you enter, followed by a sequential number.
• Caption will apply the caption that you enter to all selected pictures,
replacing any previously associated captions.
• Date taken will change the date taken field for all selected pictures,
which is useful if your camera recorded incorrect dates. If the selected
pictures have more than one date taken, this field will appear as Date
Range
.
• Labels opens the Labels Editor to add new labels to the selected
pictures; existing labels will not be deleted.
• Flags displays convenient labels that you can use as personal
reminders to edit, e-mail, print, or perform other actions on indicated
pictures.
• Rating assigns a new rating to each selected picture, replacing any
preexisting rating.
