View Menu

This menu lets you control how your photos are presented in the Organizer. It also includes two very cool ways to look through a group of photos or compare photos.

Refresh

If you need to make the Organizer redraw its screen, choose this menu item or press F5.

Media Types

Choose this item to bring up a window where you can decide what kinds of media the Organizer displays. Your choices are photos, video, audio, Projects, and PDF files. Just turn on the ones you want and turn off the ones you don't.

Hidden Files

Use this option to see all your files with the Hidden tag (Working with tags and categories).

Details

When Details is turned on (it usually is unless you've turned it off), you see the information about your photos in the Photo Browser window, like the date and the tag icons. Toggle Details off to see just the thumbnails with no other information. Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+D.

Show File Names

Turn this on to see your photos' names displayed below their thumbnails.

Show Grid Lines

Turn this on to see the dividing lines between each thumbnail.

Show Borders Around Thumbnails

Although you may not really be able to see it, Elements displays a very fine border around each thumbnail, unless you turn this off.

Expand All Stacks

To see every photo in every stack, choose this menu item.

Collapse All Stacks

To return all your stacks to single photo view so you see only the top photo, choose this menu item.

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
