STEP FIVE (Viewing Your Imported Photos)


Once your photos are imported, you'll see small versions of photos displayed in iPhoto's main window (these small versions of your photos are called "thumbnails"). You can change the size of these thumbnails by clicking-and-dragging on the slider in the bottom right-hand corner of iPhoto's window (shown circled above). Click-and-drag the slider to the right to make the thumbnails larger; drag to the left to make them smaller (making them smaller makes more of them visible, since they take up less space onscreen). Depending on how many photos you import, all of them may not be visible onscreen at once. If that's the case, a scroll bar will appear on the right side of the iPhoto window (it looks like a blue pill-shaped bar). With your mouse, click-and-drag that blue bar up or down to display the rest of your photos.

ROTATING PHOTOS

TIP If you need to rotate a photo (you took the photo with your camera turned vertically), first click on the photo thumbnail in the iPhoto window that you want to rotate, then click the Rotate button, found just below all your thumbnails on the bottom-left side of the iPhoto window. It will rotate counterclockwise by default, so keep clicking the button until the photo is in the proper orientation (landscape or portrait).
