Using the Organizer
The Organizer is where you keep track of your photos and start most of the projects that in-
volve sharing images with others (like posting them online, for example). You can see
thumbnails of all your photos in the Organizer, assign them keywords (called
tags
) to make
them easier to find, and search for them in lots of different ways.
In Elements 11, Adobe gave the Organizer a substantial makeover, based on two main ideas:
Most people find organizing and tagging photos something of a chore; and most people want
to organize photos by the people, places, or events they contain. Elements 13 builds on the
changes Adobe made in Elements 11.
To try to deal with the drudgery of organizing, Elements includes a lot of ways to use various
smart
features, which let Elements do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. (If you've used a re-
cent version of the Organizer, its face-recognition system is one example of this, but there are
other such features, too.) You'll read about these features in the relevant sections of this
topic.
