Abstract: Digital images may be filtered according to a first user-selectable filtering metadata dimension. The filtered digital images may also be grouped according to a second user-selectable pivoting metadata dimension. A group of the filtered digital images may additionally be selected and focused on. The focused group of filtered digital images may be further filtered and grouped according to further user-selectable metadata dimensions.
