Chapter 1: Getting to Know the Work Area
Here are several differences between Edit Full mode and Edit Quick mode:
✓ Completely different sets of panels are docked in the Panels Bin. All
the panels in Edit Quick mode are related to adjusting brightness con-
trols, and they’re designed to improve the overall appearance of your
pictures. In addition, all the Windows menu commands for accessing
panels are grayed out. While you work in Edit Quick mode, Elements
insists on limiting your use of panels to just the ones docked in the
Panels Bin. Moreover, you can’t undock panels from the Panels Bin by
dragging them out, as you can in other modes.
✓ The Tools panel shrinks. Edit Quick mode offers only these tools on
the Tools panel:
• Zoom
• Hand
• Magic Selection Brush
• Crop
• Red Eye Removal
• Whiten Teeth
• Make Dull Skies Blue
• Black and White — High Contrast
None of the other Elements tools are accessible while you work in
this mode.
✓ Multiple viewing options are available. Notice in Figure 1-13 that you
see two views of the same image. The Before view on the left displays
the unedited image. The After view shows you the results of changes
you make with panel options and menu commands. You select different
viewing modes from menu choices on the View drop-down menu below
the image window.
If you want to return to Edit Full mode, open the drop-down menu where you
see Edit Quick, and choose Edit Full.
Using creation tools
To organize your pictures for display in a variety of different ways, begin by
clicking the Create button. The panels in the Panels Bin change to support
different creation options. Click one of the listed options for making a new
creation or click the More Options button to select from additional options.
In Figure 1-14, we clicked the Create button to open the creation options.
