Pinning Images

You can pin your favorite images so you can easily find them again later. Pinned images appear in a group that you can expand or collapse. This is a way to limit the list of images to those that you use the most.

You can pin any image that appears in the Recently Used Images group. This group lists your 20 most recently used images.

Example Three images have been added to the Pinned Images group. Other recently used images can still be seen in the Recently Used Images group; you can add any of these images to the Pinned Images group at any time.
