Getting Familiar with the Photoshop Elements Photo Editing Workspace

Photoshop Elements offers two workspaces, the Organizer and the Photo Editor, and you can toggle between the two. Here is the Photo Editor interface, which is reorganized in Photoshop Elements to help you easily access tools as you edit your images.

  • Open an image in the Photo Editor by choosing File→Open.

  • Get information about your image by looking at the status bar. Click the right-pointing arrow to get more details about your image.

  • Need to see detail in your image? Zoom into your image by pressing Ctrl+spacebar and clicking where you want to see the image close-up. Zoom back out by pressing Alt+spacebar and clicking.

  • Easily switch the display for Tool Options to Photo Bin by clicking the Photo Bin button. The Tool Options panel disappears and thumbnail images for photos opened in the Photo Editor appear in the Photo Bin.

  • Access panels as needed by choosing them from the Window menu or the Panel Bin.

  • Easily select tool options for a tool selected in the Tools panel by making choices in the Tool Options panel.

Selecting Tools with Handy Keyboard Shortcuts in Photoshop Elements

In newer Photoshop Elements releases, you don’t see tools nested in pop-out toolbars, as you have in previous versions. Companion tools are contained in the Tool Options below the image window. Selecting a tool in the Tools panel opens the Tool Options, where you can select additional tools if you’re using keyboard shortcut keys.

To cycle through tools that share a keyboard shortcut, simply press the Shift key in conjunction with the key that corresponds to your desired tool until that tool is selected. For example, if the Elliptical Marquee was the last tool used, press Shift+M to return to the Marquee tool. Check out the keyboard shortcut for each tool in the Tools panel, as well as which tools share a keyboard shortcut.

You can change how the Shift key works in the General Preferences. If you disable the Use Shift Key for Tool Switch option, you don’t need to press the Shift key to change tools.
