5 USING ELEMENTS 9 ORGANIZER
Workspace
Last updated 9/12/2011
Use Elements Organizer to find, organize, and share your photos and media files. Use the Media Browser in Elements
Organizer to view thumbnails of the media files you’ve imported. You can view a large thumbnail of a single media file
or smaller thumbnails of many media files. You specify the thumbnail size by using the thumbnail slider. If you prefer
viewing your media files by date, use the Date in the Calendar view to work with your files in a calendar format.
The Media Browser lists all the photos, as well as videos and PDF files that you’ve imported. Imported items appear in
one comprehensive window that you can easily browse and filter. It can even show thumbnails of files stored remotely,
such as those files that you want to keep on CDs.
You can fix the most common problems in the media files by using the tools in the Fix tab of the Task pane. For more
complex editing, you can select a photo or video in Elements
Organizer, and in the Fix tab:
• Click Full Photo Edit, Quick Photo Edit, or Guided Photo Edit to work with photos. The photo opens in the
Photoshop Elements Editor workspace.
• Click Edit Videos to work with video files. The video file opens in the Adobe Premiere Elements Editor workspace.
You can create projects, from printed photo books to computer slide shows, from the Create tab of the Task pane.
Finally, you can share your photos, videos, and projects with others, by using any of the tools in the Share tab of the
Task pane.
