Favorite Viewing Modes

Most photo galleries support the following viewing modes for photos:

• Tile views are good to get an overview about lots of photos.
• List views are mostly used to show more details than tiles can do.
• Single views are used to show single photos in full detail. You can usually swipe from one photo to another.

Not so common viewing modes:

• Calendar views give you an overview about what happened on specific days, months, etc.
• Collage views are used as interesting looking alternative to tile views.
• Map views are used to show the locations of photos on a map. It can help you finding photos much faster than in other viewing modes if you know the location.
• Augmented Reality views (see PhotoMap or Photo Compass) can be used to see where (in which direction) your photos were taken. This can be useful if you want to walk/drive back to a specific location. It’s also helpful to orientate yourself.
