Working with trays

To add a tray

You can use trays to gather images from various folders. The images remain in their original location, but are referenced in the tray and can be accessed by clicking a thumbnail.

You can add, remove, and rename trays to suit your workflow. For instance, you can create a tray for images you want to edit, use for a project, print, or e-mail. Trays are created in the Organizer palette.

The default tray automatically displays the photos from the folder or collection that you currently have selected in the Navigation palette. A custom tray, called My Tray, is a blank tray that is created automatically.
