Update an item’s thumbnail
You can update the thumbnails in the Media Browser to reflect changes made to media files using a third-party
application, if the application saved the changes back to the original file.
Note: To enable the Elements Organizer to track changes made to media files by another application, select Edit >
Preferences > Editing, (Windows), or Adobe Elements 9 Organizer > Preferences > Editing (Mac OS). Select Use A
Supplementary Editing Application, and browse to the application. Changes made by the supplementary application will
appear in the thumbnails in the Media Browser.
1 Select one or more items in the Media Browser.
2 Choose Edit > Update Thumbnail or Edit > Update Thumbnail For Selected Items. (You can also right-click/ctrl-
click and choose these commands.)

Adding captions and notes
Add captions to files
Adding a caption to a photo, video file, project, PDF, or audio clip is like giving it a descriptive title. You may add or
view a caption in several different places in the Elements
Organizer. You can add or view a caption in the Single Photo
view of the Media Browser, the Caption field in Date view, the Properties panel, or with the Edit > Add Caption
command. Captions can be used in projects, printed on contact sheets, and viewed in a Flash-based media file.
You can add a caption in Single Photo view. The same caption appears by default in projects.
