To search for photos using the Calendar pane:

• Select the days or months corresponding to the time period in which you want to find photos. You can -click or -click to select multiple contiguous or noncontiguous dates.

• Click a month or year heading to select all the days or months within.

Tips

• Searches take place in the current album.

• Pay attention to whether a month or day is black or gray. Black dates contain photos; gray dates do not.
