Sort the Order of Photos


When you create a slideshow, book, or HomePage, iPhoto builds the project with your photos in the same order as the album they're in. So you might want to rearrange the photos in an album or in the Library. There are a couple of ways to do this.

  • To sort photos in an album (this doesn't work in the Library), drag one or more photos to the location desired. As you drag, a black, vertical bar indicates where the photos will be placed when you release the mouse button.

  • To sort photos in the Library (or in an album): From the View menu (shown left), choose "Sort Photos," then from the submenu choose one of the options. The only option you cannot choose when sorting the actual Library is "Manually" (you can sort albums manually).

Add titles and comments

The titles and comments that you type in the Information pane are used by the Book and HomePage features to add headlines and captions. When you create a web page or a book from these photos, you'll want them to have descriptive names instead of something like "DSCN0715.JPG." Descriptive titles also make it easier to conduct a search for photos based on titles.

1.

Single-click a photo to select it.

2.

Click the "i" button beneath the "Source" pane.

3.

Click the "title" field, then type a new name to replace any existing text in the field, such as "DSCN0715.JPG."

4.

Click inside the "comments" field and type any comments you want that describe the photo, or that will make it easier to find in a search.
