Use the Organizer to find, organize,
and share your photos and media files. Use the Photo Browser in
the Organizer to view thumbnails of any the photos you’ve imported
into Photoshop Elements. You can view a large thumbnail
of a single photo or smaller thumbnails of many photos, depending
on the size of thumbnail you specify by using the thumbnail slider.
If you prefer viewing your photos by date, use the Organizer’s Date
view to work with your files in a calendar format.
The Photo Browser lists all the photos, as well as videos and
PDF files that you’ve imported, in one comprehensive window that
you can easily browse and filter. It can even show thumbnails of
files stored remotely, such as those you might keep on CDs.
You can fix the most common photographic problems, such as red
eye and unnatural colors, by using the tools in the Fix tab of the
Task pane. For more complex editing, you can select a photo in the
Organizer, and click
Full
Edit in the Fix tab. The photo opens in the Editor workspace.
You can create projects, from printed photo books to computer
slide shows, from the Create tab of the Task pane.
Finally, you can share your photos and projects with others,
by using any of the tools in the Share tab of the Task pane.
