Find the Menu
Once you've logged in, visit a gallery and look for the Photo Tools Menu below the largest photo. Some viewing styles such as all thumbs, traditional, and journal style will only show the menu if you click on a photo or change to another viewing style.
On every gallery page, you'll find a Gallery Tools Menu as well.

Arrange Photos (Expert)

Sort
This is a zippy way of sorting photos within the gallery. Sort by Filename, Caption, or Date & Time uploaded, taken, or digitized. This is a one-time sort, so you can still move photos around afterwards. If you'd like dynamic sorting that constantly keeps photos in a particular order, choose auto sorting in Customize Gallery.

Click this and you'll get a new image in this gallery. It will be identical in every way to the image you copied, but will have a different SmugMug imageID. This tool is useful for keeping a color photo and making a black and white of the same photo using the color tool.
SmugMungous View
SmugMungous = bigger display sizes. XLarge, X2Large, and X3Large so your admirers can see the photos big and beautiful.
These sizes are new, so older photos won't have them until you use the SmugMungous photo tool. Select the thumbs, and we'll SmugMungify 'em.
Bulk tool tips
These tips are for the tools that display every photo in the gallery on the same page, and allow you to select several at a time to rotate, move, delete, etc.
- Hover your mouse over a thumbnail and you'll see a blue "info" icon. Move your mouse over that icon to get an overlay with the photo's filename, caption and a larger view of the photo.
- There are actually four different ways to select photos on these pages.
- Click the Select All and Deselect All buttons at the top of the tool page.
- Click on each photo individually. Selected photos will be highlighted in red.
- If you want to select several photos in a row, click the first one and then hold down the Shift key on your keyboard as you click the last photo in the group. The first and last photos and all photos in between will be selected in red.
- Click your mouse and hold the button down as you drag a box around the photos you'd like to select. Release the button and the photos in the box will be highlighted in red.
