If you are the image owner and are showing the Edit Options window while viewing your picture, you will see a drop list of all your collections. Hold the control key on your keyboard and select the multiple collections to assign a photo to. This will NOT duplicate the photo. It assigns pointers to the photo from the collection.

What is the Action option?
If you are the image owner and are showing the Edit Options window while viewing your picture, you will see a drop list of Actions. These are Keep Photo, Hide Photo, Delete Photo.

What is the blue envelope under the photo?

What are Search Filter?
This can best be explained HERE. All I can say they are really nifty
Can I search by EXIF data?
This is a cool feature. If you view a photo and see exif data underneath, simply click on the data link and you will do a keyword search based on the data. For example if you see a photo and the EXIF data shows 135mm for the focal length, clicking on the 135mm link will show you all photos where a 135mm lens was used. Same goes for camera, and other data.
