The standard Photos app in Mac OS X requires users to click the back button and double-click on each image to navigate through a photo gallery. However, there is a faster and easier way to browse multiple images using the Split View feature in Photos.
Split View aligns the primary image to the right side of the screen, with split thumbnails of other images on the left. Simply click on a thumbnail to open that image on the right. While there is no direct option in the Photos app, you can quickly access the Split View by following these steps:
- Open the Photos app
- Double-click any image to open it as the primary focus
- Look at the toolbar and click on the small Split View icon
In Split View, you can see thumbnails of all other images in the same gallery or event. Clicking on any thumbnail will make it the center of the Photos app while maintaining the split-screen view. To navigate through images, you can also use the backward and forward arrows that appear when you move the mouse pointer to the left or right of the active image.
Using Split View provides a simpler and faster way to browse through your photo library. To disable Split View, simply click the toolbar button again. Give it a try and see how it enhances your photo browsing experience!
