Organizer to Editor
There are two different ways to move files from the Organizer space to the Editor.

1. Choose the Edit with Photoshop Elements Editor entry from the menu that pops up

2. After selecting the photo in the Organizer work space, pick Photo Editor from the

pop-up menu that is displayed when clicking the Editor button on the taskbar at the
bottom of the workspace.

2. Any auto-enhancements applied via the Fix pane features in the Organizer space

will automatically add the altered photo as an extra entry in a version set in the
Organizer.
