Project 1. Create Custom Photo Catalogs Using the Organizer

Using the Organizer in Photoshop Elements 4.0 for Windows, you can create individual collections and categories of your entire image library.

Tools: Photoshop Elements

Materials: Your photos

Although it looks like a simple photo-display device, the Organizer is actually a powerful database that lets you see and find images from various drives, folders, and e-mail attachments all in one place. The Organizer allows you to then sort and catalog those images in a variety of ways.

In this project, we create a collection of photos similar to a traditional photo album. This is an easy project that you will probably use often to organize your photos. In the second part of the project, you learn how to categorize your photos using tags. Both collections and tags are fantastic tools for keeping track of all your images, and they allow you to find your images in a snap. They are also essential tools for using creations in Photoshop Elements, such as scrapbooks and slideshows.

Note: The photos you see in the Organizer are not actually stored there, but are still in their original folders. Be careful not to delete photos thinking that the Organizer will save them. If you delete a photo from its original folder, it will be gone and you won't be able to recover it.
