Have you used Group By feature in Photo Manager?
June 9th, 2008 by HeidiIf not, let’s explore the possibilities of Group By!
Here’s a few things to play with:
I almost always have Group By set to File Type. It separates out my paper from my elements and allows me to quickly minimize folders.
Here’s another one, I selected all the folders that contain my purchases from 2008. Sorted them by author and I can quickly browse and view all my recently purchased kits but still keep them “separated.”
Or if you have a collaboration kit and the designers named the files with their name first. Select the whole kit and group by filename. It will group all the files by each designer in their own section.
And another tip for you, if you click on the bar above each group type, it will select all images in that group!
Have you found a good use for group by? Comment and let me know.

This is one of my most favorite features of ACDSee.
Haven’t tried this before. Thanks for the tip!!
These are some great tips, I learned some new ways of using this feature – thanks!
I don’t have this product, but had the trial. The thing I did not like about it was I could not double click on the image on have it open in Photoshop Elements. Seemed like a lot of work. Was I doing something wrong?? Could you email me if I were??
