Multi-Selecting Files or Thumbnail Images

Multi-Selecting files or thumbnails is the PhotoELF concept and is the key to performing batch operations, (doing the same thing to many pictures at once), also see: Batch Operations.

You may: Rotate, Rename, Delete, Cut, Copy, Paste, Resize, Edit, JPG Compress, Convert Formats, Apply Masks, Fix Brightness, Gamma, Contrast, Color, Hue and Print more than one photo at a time by multi-selecting filenames or thumbnails.

The picture above shows the File List box. You may multi-select filenames or thumbnails, either will work, and the methods below apply to both:

How to Multi-select:

Method 1

Left click the first file or thumbnail you want.
Hold the Shift key down and then left click the last file you want.
All files between will be selected.

Method 2

Left click a file.
Hold the Ctrl key down and click any file you want to select.
While holding the Ctrl key down, you may select as many files as you like and in any order.
You may even De-select a file by clicking it again.

Method 3

Method 3 only works on the file list box, not on the thumbnails.

Left click and drag.
Left click the first image you want and keep holding the left button down.
Then move your mouse pointer to the last image and release the button.

To De-select all previously selected files, just left click on any file without holding the Shift or Ctrl key.

Hint: When multi-selecting, look at the status bar at the bottom of PhotoELF. One of the display panels will tell you how many files are selected.
