Annie, I forgot to mention that working in the timeline mode (which is how you will spend most of your time) the pictures below in the timeline can be organized into "stacks". This allowed me to take 111 of the class photo's and collapse them into one picture thus really organizing and shortening the length of the timeline. The girls scout campout was in one stack, the Alumni banquet, the party after the Alumni banquet were each in their own stack, on and on it would go. When you want to work with that stack you click on the one photo and it opens to the dozens or hundreds inside the stack. Such great organization.
Now, if you are wanting to use the photo's in another program, such as FinalCut or Keynote you will need to "unstack" them for the time you are working in that program and wanting to pull the photo's into your Keynote project but once done you can re-stack and organize the timeline. For some reason (which may be corrected in the future) the other programs don't recognize the photo's that are in a stack.
