I Creating Stacks Automatically During Import You can automatically create stacks when you import images. You can preview the stacks before you import using the Auto-Stack slider in the Import dialog. For detailed information about working with stacks, see Chapter 8, "Stacking Images and Making Picks," on page 219. Stacks are automatically created based on auto-bracketed images and images shot continuously or within short intervals of time. You can manually adjust the stacking of images shot within a short period of time by specifying the time interval of images that should be stacked. To create stacks automatically: 1 Click the Import button in the toolbar (or press Command-I). The Import dialog appears with the file browser at the top. 2 Select your camera or card reader, or navigate to a folder on your hard disk that holds images you want to import. 3 Select the images you want to import. 4 Adjust the Auto-Stack slider. Click these buttons to open or close stacks. Drag the Auto-Stack slider to stack images. Click the Split Stack button to split a stack. Click the Stack button to stack selected images. Click the Unstack All Stacks button to unstack all stacks. You can adjust the period of time between shots from 0 seconds to 1 minute. When the images appear stacked, you can open or close the stacks by clicking the Open All Stacks and Close All Stacks buttons. If you want to divide a stack, you can select an image within a stack and click the Split Stack button, and a new stack appears holding your selected image and stacked images after it. You can also unstack your images by clicking the Unstack All Stacks button. If you are not satisfied with how the images are stacked, drag the slider to the Off position. You can also manually select and stack images in the Import dialog in the same way you can in the Browser. For more information about stacking images, see Chapter 8, "Stacking Images and Making Picks," on page 219. Chapter 4 Importing Images 133
