• Organize on the fly with Group By.

  Group By provides you with a powerful new way to organize your photos. Group By makes it easier for you to view your photos faster and more efficiently by arranging your photos into subsets - allowing you to sort and view your photos in more detailed groupings. You can Group By keywords, size, when the photos where taken, and other commonly used information.

• Sort photos like a pro with Filter By.

  Filter By gives you improved sorting and display capabilities, making it easier to show photos that are assigned to particular ratings or categories. Filter By is quick and easy to use - for example just Select Filter By Rating 1 and only the photos in the selected folder(s) assigned to Rating 1 will be displayed.

• Quickly navigate and display photos with Table of Contents.

  Table of Contents is a new display that provides you with an easy-to-navigate summary list of groups of photos in a folder. It's available when using the new Group By feature, and makes it easier and more seamless to find, select, and view the group of photos you're looking for.
