Automatically stack photos by capture time

Lightroom can automatically stack photos in the Grid view or the FIlmstrip, based on their capture time. You specify

a duration between capture times to create a new stack. For example, suppose you specify 1 minute for the duration.

All contiguous photos with capture times less than 1minute apart are grouped in one stack. A new stack is created

when the next contiguous photo has a capture time that is 1 minute or more later than the previous photo's capture

time. In turn, the new stack groups contiguous photos with capture times less than 1 minute apart from each other,

and so forth.

You can specify a duration between capture times of 0 seconds to 1 hour. Specifying shorter durations creates more

stacks and specifying longer durations creates fewer stacks.

(Optional) Find photos or select a collection, the Quick Collection, folders, keyword tags, or metadata to display

the photos you want in the Grid view or the Filmstrip.

Lightroom auto-stacks all photos in the Grid view or the Filmstrip regardless of whether some of the photos are

selected or not.

Choose Photo > Stacking > Auto-Stack By Capture Time.

In the Auto-Stack By Capture Time dialog box, drag the Time Between Stacks slider to specify the minimum

duration between capture times that creates a new stack.

Edit photos in a stack

Develop adjustments applied to a collapsed stack affect only the top photo.

❖

In the Grid view or the Filmstrip, do any of the following:

• To apply image adjustments to the top photo only, select a collapsed stack and make develop adjustments.

Note: Use the Synchronize Settings command or the Copy Settings/Paste Settings commands to apply image adjustments

from the top photo to other photos in a stack. See "Apply Develop adjustments to other photos" on page 86.

• To apply image adjustments to photos within a stack, select the photos in an expanded stack, and make develop

adjustments to the individual photos.

Filtering and rating photos

About filtering photos

Applying ratings, flags, and labels to photos lets you filter them so that you can find and display specific photos.

Although you can find photos using keywords and metadata, filtering photos combined with keyword and metadata

searches helps you quickly view the best photos. Filtering photos becomes even more important as your catalog

accumulates thousands of photos.
