About photo project edits
In Photoshop Elements, you can modify photo collages, greeting cards, and CD/DVD disc jackets and labels. The Create panel lets you add
various frames, textures, backgrounds, and graphics to your projects, as well as apply text effects. You can also resize, rotate, and move images.
Add images to a photo project
You can add images to a photo project, and then rearrange, modify, or replace them.
Photoshop Elements adds all the images in a project to your default catalog.
Photo projects (Creations) are saved as .pse files. When you save a photo project, Photoshop Elements saves any unsaved images added to the
project. Photoshop Elements saves the image as a copy of the original image in the same location.
Note: If the location is not writable, Photoshop Elements saves the image in %My Documents%Adobe\Photo Creations.
If you relocate the images used in a photo book, missing file icons appear in the photo book instead of the images. Reimport the images by
clicking the ? sign, or reconnect all the missing files in the Organize workspace. After reconnecting the files, close the project and reopen it.
To add photos to project, do one of the following:
Click an empty photo placeholder and then select a photo, or right-click an existing photo and click Replace Photo.
Drag a photo to an empty photo placeholder.
Choose File > Open. Choose the photos you want to add. If you do not see the images, navigate to where they are located,
and then click Open, which places them in the Photo Bin. Drag photos into your photo project from your photo bin.
Edit photos in the Quick mode
1. Right-click the photo and select Edit Quick.
2. Use the controls on the right side to modify the images.
3. Click Back To Creations to return to the Create panel.
Add new pages to a photo project [Photo Books only]

2. At the top of the Pages panel, click the Add Page panel to add a new page after the current page.
Reposition or resize photos in a photo project
