Create a New Group

Create a new Group when you want to save and come back to selections of images or share them with others.  Also, creating a Group is a first step in using Insight’s Presentation feature. Images may be copied from one or more collections into the same group.  Images can be copied from one group to another group.  Groups can be saved to folders on your computer, and groups can be saved to folders that you share with other users who may be located anywhere on the Internet.  

Before you can create a Group, you must log in and open an Insight collection.  

Creating a New Group

From the File menu option, click on new group.

 

You will be presented with a new, empty Group window.

 

 

Copying Images into a Group

  1. Select (click on) one or more thumbnail images in an open collection or an open Group.  Selected images in the collection window will have a highlighted border.  

Note:  You can select thumbnail images in an open collection before you open a new group.  It can be more convenient to perform selections in advance, with only the collection thumbnail window open, so that you can see more images at once.  

  1. Press the mouse button down over any (one) highlighted image, and drag and drop it into the new Group window.  You will see a thumbnail outline as you drag from one window to the other.  If multiple images in the collection are selected, all of them will be copied to the new Group.  Drag and drop selected images into the New Image Group.

 

 

 

Once you drop the images by releasing the mouse button, the selected images will appear in the new Group.  Note: The original images remain in the collection, while an identical copy now resides in the new Group.

Dragging and dropping thumbnail images into the new Group from the same collection, other collections, or other existing groups, can be repeated any number of times.  As you drop thumbnail images into a Group, Insight will check whether they already are present in the Group to avoid adding duplicates.  

Copying images and other media from a collection to a Group can also be achieved by using the copy and paste functions under the Edit main menu.
