Organising images and sets

### Set the Gallery Order, Move and Replace Photos

You change the order by dragging, or with an automatic sort by file name or date taken. Several photos can be selected to move them into another set or delete them; single ones can be hidden, made the cover photo, or have their file replaced.

#### Set the order #

Open gallery Set

Single photos are dragged where you want them. For the whole batch there is the automatic sort: file name from A to Z or the other way round, date taken oldest or newest first, and “Reverse order”.

After an automatic sort you can still move single images by hand.

#### Several photos at once #

- Click “Select Photos” and mark the images, or take “All”.

- Choose the target set of the same gallery under “Move to set…”.

- Or delete the selection in one go.

Moving works inside one gallery. Into another gallery images only travel through a new upload.

#### View photos larger #

A click on a photo opens it large in a window above the gallery. The arrows or the arrow keys move through all sets, Esc closes the window.

Next to the photo sit the same buttons as on the tile: cover photo, hide, recommendation in proofing, replace and delete. You look at a photo in peace and decide right there.

In selection mode a click still selects instead of opening the photo.

#### Hide a single photo #

The eye icon on an image takes it out of the guest view without deleting it.

In the header of the set, below the photo count, an orange note says how many photos are hidden, “12 hidden” for example. Point at it and aftersnap explains what that means: your clients do not see these photos, they are not in the ZIP download, and not even the master password opens them. You can still deliver them to your vendor network.

#### Make it the cover photo #

The star icon on an image makes it the cover photo, for desktop or for mobile.

#### Replace an image instead of deleting it #

“Replace photo” swaps the file. Position, selection and comments stay on the image, because it remains the same image.

Important

If a photo belongs to the selection of a proofing gallery or carries comments, aftersnap warns before deleting. Selection and comments would be gone for good; swapping the file is what “Replace photo” is for.
