Tropy

Creating a project

When you first install Tropy, you will be prompted to create a new project with a project name. A project is a collection of photographs, and it is best to think broadly when deciding what to name your project. For example, you should create a project for a writing-intensive class, rather than break up each writing assignment for that class into separate Tropy projects. You can copy and paste items between projects.

Adding photos

There are several options for you to import your photographs into Tropy. Keep in mind:

• Tropy does not store any of your photographs (it is not a photo-storing platform); Tropy makes a thumbnail copy of them. The original photographs stay in their original location on your hard drive. 
• Importing your photographs might take some time, especially if you are importing multiple photographs at once. 
• If you store your photos from Apple's photo platforms, such as iPhoto or Photos.app, you will not be able to drag and drop them into Tropy. You will have to first relocate them to a different place on your computer if you want to drag and drop. 
• When importing photographs into Tropy, make sure the search box is clear. If the search box has text in it, it will look like your photographs are not importing.
