Creating and Working with Folders
iPhoto 6 provides folders into which you can organize multiple albums, along with books, cards, calendars, saved slideshows and even other folders. Folders are a great way to tuck away older items you don't want to see all the time.
To create a folder:
From the File menu, choose New Folder.
iPhoto creates a new untitled folder with the name selected so you can name it.
- Enter a name for the folder.
To move items into and out of folders:
-
Drag one or more items (albums, books, saved slideshows, or other folders) into or out of the folder.
iPhoto moves the items, giving the folder an expansion triangle if necessary so you can open and close it (Figure 3.15).
Figure 3.15 Drag items into or out of a folder to add or remove them from the folder.
