Examining the Elements Environment

Photoshop Elements 13 continues to evolve with new tools and features.

Both Windows and Macintosh users also have continued support for

the Organizer and its file management, creation, and file-sharing

opportunities.

In this release, there is greater consistency between

Macintosh and Windows version. For example, the Slide

Show creation that was previsously limited to Windows

users is now available on the Mac. Photo Mail, which

was also a Windows-only feature, has been eliminated

from the Share panel, making the Create and

Share panels identical on both operating systems.

This chapter starts with some essential tasks to

make your photo management and editing experiences

an easy process. This chapter’s content

may not be the most fun part of this book, but it’s a

critical first step for anyone new to Elements. Stay

with us while we break down all the areas in the

Photoshop Elements workspace, where you can turn

that photo of Aunt Gina into something that Whistler’s mom

would envy.
