Organizing your photos with collections A collection is a container that you put photos into. Using the Photo Well, you can drag and drop the photos in a collection into a custom order. A number then appears for each photo indicating its position in the order. Unlike tags, you can customize the order in which photos in collections appear. For example, suppose you have photos from your vacation. You could create a collection called "Ten Best Vacation Photos," put your ten favorite photos from that trip into that collection, and organize the photos from tenth best photo to best photo. You could then show the collection in Full Screen based on that collection. A photo can be in more than one collection. For instance, the same photo might appear as the first photo in one collection and the last one in another. ReadMe

Organizing your photos with collections
A collection is a container that you put photos into. Using the Photo Well, you can drag and drop the photos in a
collection into a custom order. A number then appears for each photo indicating its position in the order. Unlike
tags, you can customize the order in which photos in collections appear.
For example, suppose you have photos from your vacation. You could create a collection called “Ten Best Vacation
Photos,” put your ten favorite photos from that trip into that collection, and organize the photos from tenth best
photo to best photo. You could then show the collection in Full Screen based on that collection.
A photo can be in more than one collection. For instance, the same photo might appear as the first photo in one
collection and the last one in another.
