Working with thumbnails in the Manage tab
The Manage tab makes it easy for you to preview and organize photos by using thumbnails.
For a larger view of photos, use Preview mode, zoom in and out on thumbnails, or use Quick Review to view photos in full-screen mode. You can sort thumbnails by criteria such as name, rating, or date. You can also rotate photos by using thumbnails, or delete and rename the files.
For multi-image shooting, you can use Auto Group and RAW/JPG Pairs to group and view thumbnails according to bracketing settings or JPEG+RAW file pairs.
Thumbnails let you edit multiple photos by using Capture editing and Apply editing. For more information, see Capturing and applying edits to multiple photos.
In addition, you can select one or more RAW file thumbnails to convert the files to another format. For more information, see Converting RAW photos to another file format.
