# The Welcome screen

When you start Photoshop Elements, the Welcome screen opens by default. The Welcome screen is a convenient starting place, or hub, for major tasks. If you prefer to have either the Editor or the Organizer workspace open when you start the application, choose the workspace you want from the Start Up With Welcome Screen menu at the bottom of the Welcome screen.

Click a button to open the workspace you need. For example, click Organize to open the Organizer and import, tag, or organize your photos; or click Edit to open the Editor and enhance your images or add special effects.

You can close or reopen the Welcome screen at any time by choosing Window > Welcome. You do not need to return to the Welcome screen to open other workspaces—you can open different workspaces from within any other workspace.
