adjust the size of the photo thumbnails. Use the vertical timeline at

right to zoom through your years’ worth of pictures.

Albums. Albums are virtual containers for any old rounded-up
batches of photos. You can create one of your favorites, or one for

each vacation, or whatever. Hit “Create an album” to view all your
photos with checkboxes, so you can go to town clicking the ones
you want in this album; then choose Create.

You wind up on a special Album page (use the to edit its

name), featuring an animated slideshow preview at top; blue
buttons for Watch (a slideshow), Edit (the slideshow), or “Create
collage” (arranges some photos into a grid); sortable thumbnails of

the pictures in this album; and some stats about this collection.

You haven’t actually moved any photos—they’re all still in your
master collection. You can, for example, include a favorite photo in

as many albums as you like.

Tip
Photos can even build some albums for you automatically. When you click the Create → Album
button at top, you see groups of photos that represent certain photo shoots. Usually, you’ll know
right away what they were: “Oh, Casey’s birthday party!” “Oh, the home inspection.” “Oh, that
time I woke up in Poughkeepsie.” Photos creates these groupings by studying the photos’ times
and locations.

Video projects. This tab rounds up all the videos (animated
slideshows) you’ve created in Photos, as described in a moment.

People. Photos attempts facial recognition of the people in your
pictures; on this tab, you see a round thumbnail for each person it’s
found, complete with the number of photos it thinks you have of

that person. Click a thumbnail to see all the pictures of that person
—and to let the app know who it is.
