Digital Photography: The Missing Manual

Organizing Photos with EasyShare

Sooner or later, you’ll want to rearrange the photos in your online albums. Perhaps you’re creating a slideshow for friends to see, or maybe you’re collecting otter photos for a gift calendar (it happens). You simply drag an album’s photos to put them in the order you want and EasyShare uses this new arrangement for things like slideshows and photobooks.

Tip

To create a new album, you can do it when you first upload the photos, as described in the previous section. Or, to create a new album from photos already in EasyShare, make copies of the photos and then create a new album to hold them (Section 5.2.2).

Arranging Your Photos in an Album

To rearrange photos, click the “View & Edit Photos” tab at the top of the window (Figure 6-5). Each of your albums look like a little stack of slides and you can see one image for each, giving you a visual hint about its contents. Click to open the album you want to work with. In the main part of the window, you see thumbnails of the album’s photos. Above the thumbnails, click the “Edit Details & Rearrange” link.

Figure 6-5. Once you’re on the Edit Details & Rearrange page, you can simply drag your photos around the screen until you’re happy with their arrangement. When it comes to rearranging your photos online, Kodak Gallery is the easiest Web-based service to use.

Now you can drag your photos around the screen ...
