Selecting Images
If you are keen to get some images printed, but are overwhelmed by the number of images you have in your gallery, you may like to use the colour labelling in the gallery to help you narrow down the image/s you want to get printed.
You can mark your images with colour labels by doing one of the following:
In the Thumbnail View (where you can see all the images at once):
For Desktop/Laptop Computer: Click the right mouse button and select the colour you would like to label the image with.
For mobile devices: hold your finger down on the image until the menu appears and then select the colour you would like to label the image with.
In the Gallery View (where you see the images one at a time):
Click/tap on one of the colour selection boxes, at the bottom left hand corner of the gallery view, to change the colour label. Click/tap on the left, black, box to remove the colour label.
Or use a shortcut key on your keyboard as follows:

7: yellow label
8: green label
9: blue label

Once you have labelled your images there are some options available at the top right of the Thumbnail View to allow you to filter and save your selection.
Filter
To filter your view to only show you images labelled in a specific colour, click on the dropdown box next to ‘Filter’ and select the colour you wish to view. The display will change to only show you images marked with the selected colour label. Select ‘Off’ to remove all filtering.
While the images are filtered you will notice that if you click on an image to view it in the Gallery View, only images that have been filtered will be shown.
If you change a colour label while the filter is on the image won’t be immediately removed from the view. Click on the ‘Refresh’ button next to the dropdown box to refresh the view.
Save
To save your selection to your computer click on the ‘Save button’. Your current selection will be saved to your web browser on your computer/device ONLY.
When you next open up the gallery your last save will be automatically loaded.
PLEASE NOTE: if you view the gallery on a different computer/device or using a different web browser your selections won’t be visible there. Also note that we are unable to see your selection. To let us know what you have chosen, share your selection with us by following the instructions below.
