# About projects

You can use your images in photo albums, scrapbooks, greeting cards, CD/DVD labels and jackets, and photo collages. These print-oriented items are called photo projects and can be printed with your home printer, or professionally printed using online services. Some photo projects, like Photo Books, must be ordered through online services. You can also use your images in digital projects as well, such as slide shows and Web Photo galleries. (Services vary by geographic region.).

To make a photo project, click the Create tab and then click the type of project you want to start. First you specify the size, layout, and theme of the photo project, which then opens so you can make subsequent modifications. You can print these photo projects with your home printer or order them from an online service.

To make a Web Photo Gallery, click that option on the Create tab. Choose customizing options, such as layout, and click OK to generate HTML pages for uploading to the web.

Photo and digital projects are stored as projects, meaning the project file and related subfolders that contain the document for each project are created on your local hard drive. To maintain the link between these project files, subfolders, and page files, use the Place command in Photoshop Elements.

The .pse format is composed of a small text document and embedded PSD files (one per page). To identify the embedded PSD files, go to Finder, Control-click the PSE document, and select Show Package Contents. Open the folder to display the individual pages. (Removing a page will damage the document. Use this method if you wish to edit PSD files, preferably with Photoshop Elements.)

You can share projects in a variety of ways. For example, you can print or e‑mail a scrapbook to a friend, or burn a slide show onto a CD or DVD. You can also have your projects professionally printed through partner services available through Adobe Photoshop Services.
