## Cataloging Steps Summarized

1. Open Portfolio, create a new catalog, then drag and drop images or folders of images into the open Gallery window.

2. When prompted for Cataloging Options, select the desired options, or simply accept common default options.

3. After Portfolio has finished adding the new images to the catalog, you can view the items in different ways using commands from the View menu, add information about the items using commands from the Item menu, or change catalog parameters using commands from the Catalog menu.

4. You can add keywords, descriptions, and custom fields, then search on these entries, or search using a number of other criteria.

5. If your catalog is shared over a network or on a Portfolio Server, you can access and use catalog images at the same time as other users.
