How to View Thumbnails in iPhoto

Published Date Author: , Posted April 21st, 2010 at 2:09:11pm

I like to see a horizontal, scrollable thumbnail bar at the top of my view window in iPhoto. Somehow I was unable to see it, and the entire sub-menu for View -> Thumbnails was grayed-out.

Go to the top-menu choice “iPhoto -> Preferences”. Select the “General” tab. Look for the option called “Double-click photo:”. Click the radio button in front of “Edits photo”.

As a result, when you double click a photo, the thumbnails scrollbar will be displayed. Additionally, buttons for navigation and editing show up on the bottom toolbar.

You may also click the full screen button at the lower left to get the auto-hidden thumbnail scroller at the top and the auto-hidden edit tools at the bottom.
