In this and the following sections, you'll learn about them, starting with procedures for working with thumbnails.

Adjust thumbnail sizes. Whenever you like, you can change the size of the thumbnails in the Lightbox. You can make them very small to see every image in a packed folder or very large to get better idea of image quality and subject matter. To change thumbnail size, drag the slider beneath the Lightbox, choose a View menu command, or press a key shortcut.
