Welcome to this lesson on Using the Organizer in Paint Shop Pro Photo. I have Paint Shop Pro Photo open with nothing loaded and I have the Organizer shown down here in the bottom with no images currently in the folder that I have selected. If the Organizer is not visible, select it from the Palettes Button here on the Toolbar and it's right here, called Organizer. You can also select the View Palettes Menu to turn it on and off. The Organizer has three main areas. You've got a toolbar at the top, which has features and buttons and allows you to work in the Organizer printing contact sheets, finding photos. You have your Collections and Folders to the left, which is where you will monitor photos and files that you work on and then Thumbnails will be shown here in the right. I'm going to click This Lesson, which is a folder I use across all the lessons to store my files in. You can see those thumbnails popped up right away. If you hover your mouse over it, you can see the name, the size, some other information about it. You can also see the folder where this is stored, which shows up here. So click a folder to change where you want to look and you can even add folders. So I'm going to click Browse More Folders, select Add Me and OK and that's going to add all the pictures in that folder to this Organizer database. Now, this is the real deal so if I open this photo up, change it and then save it, that is the actual file. I'm not looking at a database or anything that's artificial. That's the actual file. That's the actual file location. Unlike Photo Trays, which is more of a temporary placeholder that I assigned this file to to let me know to work on certain things and then I can move it in or out of Photo Trays without actually deleting it from the hard drive. However, if I delete something out of the Organizer, right click the photo and press Delete, it's going to delete it out of that folder. OK. There are two basic Organizer Modes here, one of which occupies more of the screen and you can scroll through a lot more thumbnails and the other one is down here at the bottom, which you would use if you just had an image open and were working on it more. If you right click on the folders, you can access different information. You can remove the folder from the list like I just did. You can also rename a folder, reveal it in Windows Explorer and so forth. You can access the Calendar and Tags and look at All Photos and your Smart Collections. Alright. You can also, you can change the zoom level of the thumbnails. You can change the whole size that this area takes up by putting your mouse over this little bar, if I can get it to, there we go. Drag it up and here we can see the thumbnails have gotten pretty big. You can see the file name at the bottom. You can sort by different things: folder, file name, rating and so forth. You can rotate them if you like, select it and click the Rotate Buttons. You don't even have to open it up in the interface. See, that's pretty quick and easy. You can select a photo or a file, select Quick Preview; opens it up in this format which allows you kind of a full-screen preview and then when it's done it's like a slideshow and then just exit out of that. You can select multiple photos and go into that Quick Review and at the end of this, it should move forward to the next photo. There we go. And when it's done, we're back to here; our icons and I click the X to get out of that. You can open a photo up in Express Lab. Select the photo, click Express Lab, which allows you to apply certain Smart Photo Fixes and Rotate, access all the basic Makeover Tools and image editing and going out of this back into the interface now. To print contact sheets, navigate, first navigate to the folder that you want. For example, I want to add the Add Me folder again and if I print that contact sheet, I, you can't distinguish these but this is the fire truck trip that we took to a fire station for a tour and those are the images there. So the contact sheets are based on the folder you're viewing and here are just the five photos I have listed here. And it's basically a contact sheet ready to print. I can access image information which shows the file name. I can enter the date. I can give it a rating, tag it, put a caption on it. I can access advanced information such as the EXIF data, which there is currently none here. If I go over to Add Me, you can see that should populate there as my Sony Alpha 300, one 25- second and so forth. You can email, you can order prints. You can also find photos based on the tags you specified. So the Organizer is a good way to organize, sort and work on your pictures. You can add and subtract folders that are monitored and then let's go to this Lesson. I'm going to turn off the info by clicking that again. There are five photos here. If I go out to my interface open my Download folder and drag those over to Add Me, they will show up. Oh, I'm in the wrong folder. They will show up in the Add Me folder and there they are. So Paint Shop Pro monitors those folders and updates the information to reflect any files that you might add or subtract and delete. Alright, I think we can wrap this lesson up. That is the Paint Shop Pro Photo Organizer.
