Chapter 13: Creating projects in the Edit
workspace
You can use your photos in creative projects, such as slide shows and photo books, and share them with family and
friends.
Note: Slide Show, VCD With Menu, and Flipbook options are not available in Mac OS.

Project basics

The Organize and Edit workspaces provide quick and easy ways to be creative with your photos. You can complete
some projects in the Organize workspace. For other projects, you select the photos you want to use in the Organize
workspace and then complete the project in the Edit workspace.
The projects under the Create tab guide you through the process of using professionally designed templates to create
your own unique project. When you complete a project, you can either share it online, or print it on your home
computer or through a professional printing service.
Your projects are displayed in the Organize workspace. The project file and related subfolders that contain the
document or web page files for each project are created on your local hard drive. To maintain the link between these
project files, subfolders, and page files, avoid moving them using Windows Explorer. Instead, use the Move command
in the Organize workspace.
You can share projects in a variety of ways. For example, you can burn a slide show onto a VCD. You can also have
your projects professionally printed through Adobe Photoshop Elements Online Services.
Note: Projects from previous versions of Photoshop Elements might not open in the current version. You may have to use
a previous version to open some projects.

Making photo projects

About photo projects
Photo projects include photo books, photo calendars, photo collages, greeting cards, and jackets and labels for CDs
and DVDs.
Note: Photo books are designed specifically for online printing. You can print them locally, but each side of a spread is
treated as a separate page.
If a project has a single page, it's saved in Photoshop format (PSD) by default. If a project has multiple pages, however,
it's saved in the more versatile Photo Projects Format (PSE). Unlike conventional image formats, which require you
to open and edit each image separately, PSE lets you create and print up to 30 pages at one time.
Note: Because multipage files can be quite large, a computer with at least one gigabyte of RAM is recommended for
optimum performance.
