Working with thumbnails in the Manage workspace
The Manage workspace makes it easy for you to preview and organize photos by using thumbnails.
For a larger view of photos, use Preview mode, zoom in and out on thumbnails, or use Quick Review to view photos in full-screen mode. You can also sort and rotate photos by using thumbnails, or delete and rename the files.
Thumbnails let you edit multiple photos by using Capture editing and Apply editing. For more information, see Capturing and applying edits to multiple photos.
In addition, you can select one or more RAW file thumbnails to convert the files to another format. For more information, see Converting RAW photos to another file format.
