How to Change Views - Icons View

Icons View

Icons Menu

Probably my least favorite view mode. I don’t get summaries of resolution or date, it’s organized from left to right (which makes this mode even more difficult to use) and the icons are somewhere in between small and large.

It’s not to say that it is wrong, I just find that I have a hard time finding files and folders when they are organized this way.

How to Change Views - Tiles View

Tiles View

Tiles Menu

Though not quite as popular as Thumbnails view, Tiles view is helpful when you need to know the resolution of your photos, but nothing else. Notice the summary that is directly below the title of each photo.

This is helpful if you have lower resolution photos mixed in with higher resolution photos, and you are trying to identify them based on size. You’ll also notice that everything is organized from left to right in this view mode, not top to bottom:

How to Change Views - Thumbnails View

Thumbnails View

Thumbnail Menu

The Thumbnails view is a photographers best friend. Select “Thumbnails” from the View menu and you will see previews of your photos (JPG files), organized from left to right. This makes organizing your photos a breeze because you don’t have to open each photo to identify it, and left to right is usually a logical representation of a series of photos.

Thumbnails View also works when you are viewing folders that contain pictures in them. It will show you a preview of the photos that are inside that folder:
