Step 3
Click the "No Privacy/SafeSearch Filter" drop-down menu and select "Only Show Private Content."
Step 4
Click "Select All" and drag the selected photos to the main Batch Organize pane.
Step 5
Click "Permissions" and select "Who Can See, Comment, Tag?"
Select "Anyone (Public)" and click "Change Permissions." Click "Thanks" to close the confirmation dialog.
