Working with trays


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.
