Chapter 1: Getting to Know the Work Area

• Make Dull Skies Blue

• Black and White — High Contrast

None of the other Elements tools is accessible while you work in this mode.

✓ Multiple viewing options are available. Notice in Figure 1-14 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 1-15, we clicked the

Create button and then clicked the Photo Collage

button to start a new creation for a photo col-

lage. As you can see in Figure 1-15, the Panels Bin

changed to reflect options available to us for

creating our photo collage.

We cover each option available in the various

creation panels in greater detail in Chapter 16.

Using the Project Bin

The Project Bin displays thumbnail views of all

your open images. Regardless of whether you

work in Edit Full or Edit Quick mode, you can

immediately see a small image of all the pictures

you have open at one time, as shown in Figure

1-16. You can also see thumbnail views of all the

different views you create for a single picture.

Find out all the details in the following sections.

If you want to rearrange the thumbnails in the

Project Bin, click and drag horizontally to reorga-

nize the order of the thumbnails.

and then choose an option for

the type of creation you want

to edit.
