Workspace basics
The Welcome screen
When you start Photoshop Elements, the Welcome screen opens by default. The Welcome screen is a convenient
starting place, or hub, for major tasks.
On the Welcome screen, click:
• Photo Editor, to enhance your images or add special effects.
• Click the Photo Editor icon to open the editor in default mode.
• Click the Photo Editor drop-down icon to open the editor along with one of the recently opened files, a new file,
or choose a file to open.
• Organizer, to import, tag, or organize your photos.
• Video Editor, to creatively edit and create fun movies with your videos.
• Close button (X) in the upper-right corner of the Welcome screen to close the Welcome screen. It’s not necessary to
return to the Welcome screen to open other workspaces—you can open different workspaces from within any other
workspace.
• Settings icon (adjacent to the Close button) to choose what application is started when you start.
