You can open the workspace by either selecting the Organize option from the Welcome
Screen or by clicking the Organizer button in the Actions bar of the Editor workspace. Once
your pictures have been imported into the Organizer (Organizer: File > Get Photos and
Videos) they can be viewed in a range of different ways including by date taken, their associ-
ated tags, albums and even their folder location. Pairs of pictures can be viewed side by side
with the Organizer: View > feature to help choose the best shot from a series of images taken
of the same subject. Instant slide shows of whole albums, or just those pictures selected from
the browser, can be created and displayed using the Organizer: View > Full Screen feature.

MAC = WINDOWS

The Mac version of
Photoshop Elements
contains the Organiz-
er workspace.
So apart from some
slight differences in
the look of the work-
space, Apple-based
image makers get an
copy of all the fea-
tures and functional-
ity Windows users en-
joy.

Simple editing tasks such as the automatic adjustment of levels, contrast and/or sharp-
ness, along with simple orientation and crop changes can be performed directly from inside
the browser with the auto enhance features in the Instant Fix pane. Finding your favorite
pictures has never been easier as you can search by date, caption, filename, history, media
type, tag and visual similarity (to already selected photos).

Pictures can be used as part of a wide variety of photo projects listed in the Create menu
or presented to friends or clients via Share menu options. This chapter will concentrate on
introducing you to the key tools and features in the Organizer workspace. Specific details
about the options found in the Instant Fix, Create and Share menus will follow in separate
chapters.

You can access the
Organize workspace
via the Organize but-
ton in the Welcome
Screen (1) or by click-
ing the Organizer en-
try in the Editor Ac-
tions Bar (2).
