One of the real bonuses in the recent upgrades of the Photo Bin is the ability to dis-
play Albums inside the Editor workspace. The drop-down menu on the left of the
Project Menu lists all saved Albums. Selecting an entry will display the Album's pho-
tos in the Bin ready for inclusion in photo projects.

There are four possible Photo Bin actions:

The Set tings menu is locat-
ed at the right hand end of
the top edge of the Photo
Bin. The menu contains
three different actions that
can be performed from the
Photo Bin. There is also an-
other option, Reset Style
Bin, which can be selected
when the Style Bin is being
used.

Show Grid - Selecting this entry switches displays a grid pattern between the thumbnails
in the Photo Bin.

Print Bin Files - Select this entry to automatically add the images currently displayed in
the Bin to the Print Photos dialog. This is a fast way to print all open files.

Save Bin as an Album - Use this option to save all files displayed in the Bin as a new
Album. This provides a great way to group images that you have been working on in the
Editor workspace so that you can return to them later.

Reset Style Bin - This option is only available when the Style Bin is in use alongside the
Photomerge Style Match feature.

NOTE: The Create and Share options have been removed from the Photo Bin in Photoshop
Elements 11.

The Photo Book feature in
Photoshop Elements can
be used to quickly create a
series of photo album pag-
es using images selected in
the Organizer workspace.
A variety of layout designs
are shipped with the pro-
gram, with other varia-
tions available as down-
loads.
