Enhanced Quick Mode
The Quick mode groups basic photo-fixing tools in one place, to quickly fix the exposure, color, sharpness, and other
aspects of an image. From Photoshop Elements 12, in addition to correcting your photos, you can also transform your
photos into professional-looking objects of art. Three new panels - Effects, Textures, and Frames - are now available.
These panels are placed next to the Adjustments panel. Each panel has ten thumbnails. Each thumbnail is a live preview.
Clicking a thumbnail applies the effect, texture, or frame, to your image. Names for these effects, textures, and frames
is displayed when you hover the mouse pointer on the thumbnail.
