Different Views Available

The menu bar on the left side of the picture library (the AllItems.aspx page as shown in Figure 6.3) offers several different view choices. So far you have seen examples of the Thumbnails view, which is very helpful if you want to see what the image looks like at reduced resolution, and the Details view, which provides access to additional tools via the drop-down menu.

The Filmstrip view is also offered, as well as the Selected Pictures view and the Explorer view. The Filmstrip view shows the smaller preview images and a larger version of the selected image. The Selected Pictures view only displays pictures that have been checked off in the Thumbnails or Filmstrip view. The Explorer View will be discussed more in Lesson 10, "The Datasheet and Explorer Views."
