Elements Organizer projects overview
About projects
The Elements Organizer and the Photoshop Elements Editor provide quick and easy ways to be creative with your
media files. You can complete some projects in the Elements Organizer. For other projects, you start by selecting the
media files you want to use in the Elements Organizer and then complete the project in the Photoshop Elements
Editor.
The projects under the Create tab guide you through the process of using professionally designed templates to create
your own unique project. When you complete a project, you can either share it online, or print it on your home
computer or through a professional printing service.
Your projects are displayed in the Elements Organizer. The project file and related subfolders that contain the
document or web page files for each project are created on your local hard drive. To maintain the link between these
project files, subfolders, and page files, avoid moving them using Windows Explorer. Instead use the Move command
in Elements
Organizer.
You can share projects in a variety of ways. For example, you can burn a slide show onto a VCD. You can also have
your projects professionally printed through Adobe Photoshop Services.
Note: The slide show feature is supported on Windows only.
Note: Projects from previous versions of Photoshop Elements might not open in the current version. You may have to use
a previous version to open some projects.
