Manager Module: Basic Information

The Manager is the foundation for organizing and sorting photos in Zoner Studio. Its other important functions include batch editing, metadata editing, and searching through your archive. The Manager’s top menu sections (available under the Menu button) are organized by what step in the typical photo workflow they represent: Acquire, Edit, Information, Organize, Create, Publish, and View. The section named “Manager Module’s Top Menu” covers these categories’ contents in detail.

The modes in which the Manager can be displayed are shown on the top bar in the middle of the window: Map, Browser, Preview and Full View. To quickly switch to Preview mode, double-click a picture. To quickly switch back, double-click the picture’s preview, or press Enter. To switch from Full View to the Browser, double-click the picture or press Shift+Enter.

The left side of the Manager contains the Navigator, and the right-hand Side Panel shows pictures’ information.
