Importing, Managing, and Saving Photos - Photoshop Elements 13: The Missing Manual - page 75

TIP
You can easily edit your files' metadata in the Organizer. In Media view, just select
the files you want to tweak, and then click the Edit IPTC Information button that ap-
pears in the Information panel. In the window that appears, you can add or change
metadata, or click the Remove IPTC Metadata button to remove it.
▪ History . Here you can see when the file was last modified, when you imported it and
from where, and the name of the volume (meaning “drive”) where it's stored now.
At the bottom of the panel is a section labeled Image Tags, where you can see any tags cur-
rently attached to the selected image and add your own tags. If you switch over to the Tags
panel by clicking its tab, you also see the hierarchy of your tags and categories ( Creating
Categories and Tags ) .
At the bottom right of the Organizer window is the Instant Fix button. Click it and Elements
replaces the Tags and Information panels with the Photo Fix Options panel, which lets you
apply a bunch of popular one-button edits to your photos right in the Organizer, without
sending the images over to the Editor. You can crop a photo here, as well as apply Auto Con-
trast, Auto Red Eye, Auto Color, Auto Sharpening, Auto Levels, and Auto Smart Fix.
( Chapter 4 has more about how these Auto features work.) When you use any of these fixes,
the Organizer automatically creates version sets with your original photo, so it's not altered
at all. To bring the other panels back when you're done using these instant fixes, just click
the Tags/Info button at the bottom right of the Organizer window.
If some of your images came into the Organizer on their sides or upside down, you can get
them upright by selecting their thumbnails and then clicking the Rotate button at the bottom
of the window. This turns the photos counterclockwise; if you want to turn them the other
way, click the tiny arrow on the right side of the Rotate button and then click the button that
appears. You can also press Ctrl/ ⌘ and the right or left arrow key.
If you want to undo anything you've done in the Organizer, click the Undo button that's al-
ways at the bottom left of your screen, or just use the regular Ctrl+Z/ ⌘ -Z keystroke. If you
change your mind about undoing something, click the tiny arrow to the right of the Undo
button, and then click the Redo button that appears, or just press Ctrl+Y/ ⌘ -Y.
In addition, no matter which of the Organizer's views you're in, you always have the option
to import new files into the Organizer, start a Create project ( Photo Collages ) , or share your
