Part I: Getting Started
Using Bin Actions
A nice feature in Elements is the Bin Actions menu at the top of the Project
Bin (Windows) or the Options menu on the far top right side of the bin
(Macintosh). Click Bin Actions (Windows) or open the Options menu
(Macintosh) to start a new creation, share photos, print all the files open in
the Bin, and save the Bin files as an album.
To the left of the Bin Actions menu, you can find another feature for viewing
files in Elements. The Show Open Files (shown by default) is another drop-
down menu that offers two options: the default option to show open files and
another choice to show files from the Organizer. Choose Show Files from
Organizer to add the files in your Organizer to the Project Bin.
Retracing Your Steps
Ever since the Apple Macintosh brought a window-like interface to the
masses, the Undo command has been one of the
most frequently used menu commands in every
program developed. You make a change to your
document, and if you don’t like it, you simply
choose Edit➪Undo or press the keyboard short-
cut Ctrl+Z (Ô+Z on the Macintosh).
In Elements, your options to undo your work
provide you much more than reverting to the last
view, as we explain in the following sections.
Using the Undo History panel
Elements takes the Undo command to new
levels by offering you a panel on which all (well,
almost all) your changes in an editing session are
recorded and available for undoing at any step in
an editing sequence.
Each edit you make is recorded on the Undo
History panel. To open the panel, choose
Window➪Undo History. Make changes to your
document, and each step is recorded on the
panel, as you see in Figure 1-17.

panel.
