to perform the chosen activity with clear and detailed instructions about the best way to use
these tools. It is a bit like having your own tutor right in the program.

Photo Effects heading in the Guided edit task pane. The pane's display changes to show a

when you need them. This set up makes using features like the Recompose Tool a cinch as
