Located at the bottom of the Full Edit and Quick Fix workspaces, the Project Bin displays thumbnails of open photos. It’s useful for switching between multiple open photos in your workspace. The Project Bin has controls that let you open or close images, hide images, navigate through open images, make a specific image the frontmost, duplicate an image, rotate an image, or view file information. Because the Project Bin appears in both Full Edit and Quick Fix, you can easily bring open images into Quick Fix for editing. Multiple-page projects are highlighted by a gray frame around the page thumbnails. To show or hide the individual pages, click the right edge of the frame.
To open an image, drag a file from any location on your computer (including the Photo Browser) or from any storage device connected to your computer into the Project Bin.
To bring an opened image forward as the frontmost image, double-click a thumbnail.
To rearrange photos, drag thumbnails in the Project Bin. The order here does not impact the photo’s order in the Organizer.
To close an image, right-click a thumbnail in the Project Bin and choose Close.
To hide an image, right-click the thumbnail and choose Minimize from the context menu.
To view a photo’s file information, right-click a thumbnail and choose File Info from the context menu.
To duplicate an image, right-click a thumbnail, choose Duplicate from the context menu, and name the file.
To rotate an image, right-click a thumbnail and choose Rotate 90° Left or Rotate 90° Right from the context menu.
To show filenames, right-click in the Project Bin and choose Show Filenames from the context menu.
To open or close the Project Bin, choose Window > Project Bin.
To manually show or hide Project Bin, click the Project Bin button. To automatically show or hide the Project Bin, choose Edit > Preferences > General and select the Project Bin Auto-hide option, or right-click in the Project Bin and choose Auto-hide from the context menu.
