How to View Flagged Photos Only in iPhoto

Flag important photos in iPhoto for easier identification.

Mac OS X's photo management program iPhoto lets you flag images to mark the photos as important or to act as a reminder to move the photos to a specific event folder later. The program places all flagged images in a single category so you can view the photos individually or in a slideshow. The flagged photos category includes an option to move one or more flagged photos to a folder in your library, and you may also unflag photos that no longer need your attention.

Instructions

1. Launch iPhoto, then click "Flagged" under "Recent" in the left pane. This displays a screen that shows only your flagged photos.

2. Double-click any flagged photo to view it in its full quality. If you flagged an event, double-click the event name first to view its related photos, then double-click an image to view its full size. Click the right arrow button at the top right corner of the window to view the next photo, or click the left arrow button to view previous photos in the series.

3. Click "Slideshow" at the bottom of the window, then select one of iPhoto's default themes. Click "Play" to view your flagged photos in a full-screen slideshow. Press the "Esc" key to exit the slideshow at any time.

4. Click a flagged photo or shift-click multiple photos, then click the "Add To" button to place the photos in an album. Select "Album" on the options list that pops up, then click either an existing album's name or "New Album" to move the flagged photos to that location.

Tips & Warnings

• If you decide you need to unflag a photo, place your mouse over a photo's thumbnail, then click the red flag icon in the upper left corner of the picture. To unflag all images, click "Clear Flagged" at the top of the list of flagged photos.
