# About albums

Photoshop Elements Albums are like physical photo albums where you can store and organize photos in groups of your choosing. For example, you can create an album called “Ten Best Vacation Photos” and organize the photos from tenth best photo to the very best photo. You can display the album in Full Screen view or make a project based on that album.

Each photo in an album has a number in the upper-left corner, representing its order. You can drag the photos within an album to arrange them into any order you want. You can add a photo to more than one album. For example, the same photo might appear as the first photo in one album and the last photo in another.

You can organize albums in groups. You can create multiple levels of album groups. For example, you can have an album group titled, “My Asia Trip,” containing the album “Ten Best Japan Photos,” along with another album called “Ten Best China Photos,” and so on for each country in Asia you visited.

You can create smart albums by setting criteria for photos to be included in them, rather than by manually selecting specific photos. The contents of smart albums are automatically updated as matching criteria are added to photos. For example, if you create a smart album that includes all photos with the keyword tag, “Chiara,” additional photos are added to that album as you give them that keyword tag.
