# Grid view

The grid view of the photo browser allows you to look through your photos much like you do in iPhoto, with your photos arranged in a grid, showing a small preview of each photo with some basic information below the photo itself. The slider in the lower right corner allows you to change the size of the photos, and selecting an individual photo will display that photo's information in the info pane in the lower left corner of the window.

You may seen one or more of the following icons superimposed on a photo in the grid view:

- indicates you have flagged that photo in iPhoto

- indicates the photos has been marked as "hidden" in iPhoto

- indicates the original for this photo is referenced outside the library package

- indicates the full size image file for this photo cannot be found; if the small thumbnail version of the photo can be found, it will still be displayed

- indicates that neither the full size image nor a thumbnail image for this photo can be found/read

You can customize the appearance of the grid view by using the various commands available in the View menu. These include:

- Photo Titles: toggles on/off the photos' titles, displayed just underneath the photo.
- Event Titles: when checked, instead of being displayed as one long list, your photos will be grouped by event.
- Show Subtitle: allows you to add a second line of information displayed below the title of each photo. You can choose from date, description, faces, keywords, kind, place, or size.
- Sort By: allows you to specify what attribute the photos should be sorted by. The "manual" option will display an album's photos in the same order you've arranged them in iPhoto. This only applies when viewing a single album, as events do not have a customizable sort order. The manual option is not available for libraries from iPhoto 7 or earlier.
