Organizing with Albums

Albums are a useful way to sort and organize photos. Adding a photo to an Album references the Original file but doesn’t move or duplicate it. Albums can be used for a variety of purposes. Here are a few examples:

• Dream vacation in Hawaii
• Best of 2022
• Favorites for our anniversary slideshow

*NOTE: Creating an Album does not duplicate your photos, move them from their location in the file system, or change how they are displayed in other Views such as Map, People, Events, and Folders.

Browsing the Albums View

To view your Albums, click or tap on the Albums icon in the left sidebar.

At the top left corner of each Album, the annotation indicates how many images are in that Album, and if there are any nested sub-albums.

If you’d like to adjust the sort order of your Album list or the contents of an Album, click on the ellipsis icon in the top app bar to access the More menu, then select the option you want to use next to Sort Order.

To view the contents of an Album, double-click on the Album to open it.

Viewing Album Details in the Info Panel

Mylio Photos’ Info Panel displays metadata and other useful information about your media. When a photo is selected, the Albums section of the Info Panel shows which Albums the selected media has been added to.

1. Select a photo in any view.
2. Scroll down to the Albums section in the Info Panel inside the right panel, and expand it if necessary. If the selected photo has been added to one or more Albums, the Album(s) will be listed in this section of the Info Panel.

3. Click on an Album in the Info Panel.
   • Choose to Remove Album from Selected Media, or
   • Show media in Album to view all images in the selected Album.

4. Click the + button to add the selected image to one or more Albums.
