the top of the window. To get the most out of the Organizer, you need to understand how all
the views work together. There's also a tab for eLive, which works the same way it does in
the Editor ( eLive ).
You can see all your tags ( Creating Categories and Tags ) in Media view, although sometimes
you need to switch views to use some of the program's smart features. Also, if you use
Adobe Revel (see Editing Your Photos ) and sign into it through the Organizer, your Revel al-
bums and libraries appear right in Media view. Using Revel explains how to use Revel with
the Organizer.
In Elements 13, you have a new way to see your photos in Media view. When you first open
Elements you see only your photos, edge-to-edge, so that they fill the entire space. Fig-
ure 2-10 explains how to use this new view, which Adobe calls the Adaptive Grid. To make
the side panels, visible you may need to click the icons shown in Figure 2-9 . In the Adaptive
Grid view, you can only see the top item in version sets ( Saving Your Work ) and stacks ( The
Photo Downloader ), and it can be hard to deselect photos after you've selected them. For-
tunately, you can also still use the old grid view (called Detail view), where your thumbnails
are surrounded by gray space and you see info like the photo's date and star rating below its
thumbnail. To toggle between the two views, press Ctrl+D/ -D or go to View→Details. You
need to be in Detail view to expand stacks and version sets to see all the images they contain.
In either view, while you scroll through your photos, a black pop-up appears under your curs-
or so that you can see the date for that particular batch of images to help you know where
you are in your catalog.
