TIP
In the past few versions of Elements, the Organizer has included a feature called the Auto
Analyzer, which can evaluate photos and videos. In previous versions of Elements, the
Auto Analyzer would evaluate your photos and assign special tags, called
smart tags
, for
characteristics like high or low quality, in focus, and so on. Elements 13 still includes the
Auto Analyzer, but now it runs only on video files, and even then only if you also have
Premiere Elements installed or upload a video to Revel (
Using Revel
), or if you let the
Organizer index your photos when it asks. If you refuse, you won't start the Auto Analyz-
er (which, once it runs, will always start up each time you restart your computer), but you
won't get very good search results, either. There are no more smart tags in Elements, but
if you used this feature in a previous version, smart tags created there are still available
for searching, although they no longer appear in the Tags panel.
Albums
Elements lets you group photos into
albums
, which are great for gathering together pictures
taken at a particular event. They're also handy for preparing groups of photos that you want
to use in a Create project like a slideshow or photo collage (see
Chapter 15
)
.
