Simple sort on the moment everything is of course is sorted by name and if we are in the list view perhaps it is more obvious. If we want to go across to this one, we can sort by path name; we can sort by caption date, city even, and location. Basically, any information we have about that image becomes a search variable and that means that if you have got ultimate flexibility within the application. Let just come out of here and we are going to go again to thumbnail view. Now we did have some movie files. Why don’t we sort by file type and that of course we will bring the movie files to the front. If I was going to be easy, let us just click down here as we have got the organize panel expose. Let us just click down here and that immediately brings out the video or the movie files. Now, you may remember our different demonstration if I just click on this one, I can have it play or of course I can just pause out of cost with the spacebar play again. So we have got our sound and our video playing here. Let us just pause that one, let us click on the next one again we will play that one and there is no sound on this one, but very, very nice in deed. We can just use this controls to do this very quickly and let us just hit the spacebar again. It is much quicker than even hidden icon there. And we will go back into some images, so let us the hit the pictures again and hopefully I am just reinforcing the message here that I can click in through here and organize view, we can just simply show this different file types, go back to images. Now, little bit later on, we will cover the light table which is over here. Now the light table has wonderful functionality. You will know until you perform, I am not sure, but I just unable to just view images impurity basically without all the interphase complications and it allows you to makes much easier to make value judgements on images when comparing two or three images with each other. Now here, we have got a slide show. Slide show is almost worthy of a whole lesson on it is on, in fact more than a lesion. The slide show is very comprehensive and if you like to show your clients of your view images in that sort of way, it is a very propel application with the media the ability to add sound and sort to it. Finally come and across to the image editor, and it is like a very, very basic form of Photoshop or similar. We can just do light weight editing our images and most usefully cropping, rotating and that sort of stuff and of course here we can print files and the printing is comprehensive with the media. If we move across the right, let us reassure these points here, if we want select image, we can rotate it, left, right, right ground we want and of course we can make some thumbnails. That is not making slow of this one left already. You can all our thumbnails bigger, smaller, etc cetera. And if we want to say, let us make an old, let us say 160.120, we can do that on here and we can make them bigger as well. If I do that of course you will spot the leverage mistake. The thumbnails at the moment as set to 160 pixels. That was our choice when we imported them. So let just use the keyboards here and I am using control +A on the PC, command +A on the Mac of course. Select all, press just select all and let us just rebuild those to that bigger size. So let us make a choice of 320 x 240 and I will go across here and then to rebuild item and that will just take a few seconds. Right, now I am just going to make some bigger thumbnails, but let us just deal with this irritation. Now, we can rotate this one here, it is just irritating that always on it side. I can rotate it here or there is a lovely keyboard shortcut which is shade with Photoshop so on PC is control square bracket, on the Mac it is command square bracket. We will just hit that, there we are same as doing this one, but quicker. Right, so I want to make these thumbnails larger, but before I do that, I have to remember one important thing. Earlier on, we set the preference thumbnails in previous to fix 160. Now to be able to enlarge this
