How to Transfer, Find, and Organize Photos

Using My Albums
The first folder in the Image Explorer tree is called My Albums. My Albums serves as a convenient collection of shortcuts to image folders elsewhere on your system. The original location of these folders is not changed.

To help you differentiate the My Albums folders from the rest of the folders on your system, they are marked with a distinct purple color: .

Use My Albums to organize images that you frequently use and access in FotoFinish.

To add an image folder from anywhere on your system to the My Albums area, right-click on the folder, and select Add Location to 'My Albums'.

How to Create Sub-Folders
You can also nest virtual sub-folders in the My Albums area to help you better organize your favorite albums. For example, you might want to create a higher level folder called Vacations and then place any specific vacation albums underneath. There is no limit to the number of sub-folders you can create.

To create a new sub-folder, right-click on the My Albums folder and select Create New Folder from the pop up menu. Right-clicking on any folder will allow you to create more sub-folders.

To move an album into one of these new folders simply drag the album like you would in Windows Explorer. (Note: In the My Albums area, individual images can only be dragged into albums, not folders, and you can't drag an album into another album.)

To remove an album from the My Albums shortcut list, simply right-click on the album and select Remove Album from 'My Albums'. This will only remove the shortcut—the original folder will remain on your system.
