Similarly, if I used Photoshop to stitch together a panorama or to merge multiple exposures, I will have the stack collapsed, with the Photoshop file on top, and the pieces underneath. To collapse all stacks, right-click (Windows) or Control-click. You can also select a photo in the stack and choose Photo > Stacking > Collapse Stack. If I have one photo on top of a stack that is my pick, and other similar shots underneath, or one that is the worked-on Photoshop version, with the raw file underneath, I will keep my stack collapsed - so that when I go to export copies to share with people, I don’t accidentally send out the others. To collapse a stack, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a photo in the stack and choose Stacking > Collapse Stack, or click the stacking number in the upper-left corner of the photo. If instead you want to export, delete or assign all photos in the stack: expand the stack, select the entire group of photos (click on the first, shift-click on the last), and then export, delete or assign to the collection. This is critical to understand - if you select a collapsed stack, and export, delete, or drag it to assign to a collection, only the top photo is exported, deleted or assigned. Notice the Auto-Stack by Capture Time option - this allows you to automatically stack photos shot within a time range that you define - and is what we will use in my next post on ways to manage your raw+JPEG photos.
