Working in the Editor gives you choices about working with your files. You can set options for opening, saving, and exporting files by type, by file size, and resolution. You can also process and save camera raw files. These tools make it easy to combine files of different types and optimize them in Photoshop Elements.
In the Editor, you can create a blank file, open a recently used file, specify which files types to open in Photoshop Elements, and more.
An additional option for working in the Editor is to use the Guided Edit feature. Guided Edits help you when you’re unsure of a the workflow or how to accomplish a task.
