How to copy multiple photos in laptop

As you work with your Mylio Photos Library, you’ll often need to choose the images you want to work with. Perhaps it’s to export several photos or to add them to an album. Mylio Photos makes it easy to work with several photos at once.

Using the Select All Command

Select All is a quick way to select all media in the current view.

1. Open Mylio Photos and locate the images, Folders, or Albums you want to select.
2. Right-click on a photo, Folder, or Album and choose Select All or open the Actions menu and choose Select All. Your selection will have a Blue Border indicating what is selected.

Selecting Adjacent Photos and Videos

When you’re working with Folders, Albums, or All Photos view, you can see a grid of multiple photos. If the photos and videos you want to select are in an adjacent sequence, you can select them using the following steps.

1. Open Mylio Photos and locate the images you want to use.
2. Click on the first image. It will have a blue border indicating it is selected.
3. On your keyboard, hold down the Shift key and click the last image. Mylio Photos will automatically select all images between the first and last image. All selected images will have a Blue Border indicating they are selected.

Selecting Nonadjacent Photos and Videos

If the photos or videos you want to select are scattered (not in sequential order), use these steps to select them.

1. Open Mylio Photos and locate the images you want to use.
2. Click on the first image. It will have a blue border indicating it is selected.
3. On your keyboard, hold down the Command key (macOS) or CTRL key (Windows) and click the next image you want to select. Continue to hold down the Command/CTRL key to select as many images as you want. All selected images will have a Blue Border indicating they are selected.
