INSTRuCTOR NOTES
Importing from a PDF document
This exercise uses a PDF document provided in the Lesson03 folder and is self-
explanatory. Be sure to discuss the options that are not chosen in the course of the
exercise.
scanning images
This exercise is the last in the series on importing images and requires that students
have either a scanner or a video input source such as a web-cam attached to their
computer. If this is not possible in the class situation, simply teach the exercise
from the book and encourage your students to follow up at home if possible.
Working with Version sets and stacks
These next two exercises are fairly straightforward. However, both Version Sets and
Stacks in their collapsed state effectively hide some images from view in the Photo
Browser, so be sure to draw your students' attention to the fact that they can be
identified by the respective icons displayed on an image thumbnail. It might be use-
ful to point out a few additional tips:
•
The topmost image in a Version set or Stack can be changed by selecting a
different image in the grouping and choosing Edit > Version Set > Set As Top
Item or Edit > Stack > Set As Top Photo.
•
If you edit a photo in the Organizer, Photoshop Elements automatically creates
a version set. If you edit an image in the Editor you need to choose File > Save
As, and then activate the option Save In Version Set With Original.
•
If you edit a photo that's already in a version set, the edited copy is placed at the
top of the existing version set.
•
If you edit a photo that's already in a stack, the photo and its edited copy are put
in a version set that is nested inside the stack.
•
Many actions applied to a collapsed stack, such as editing, printing, and
e-mailing, are applied to the topmost item only. To apply an action to multiple
images in a stack, expand the stack and select the individual images or un-stack
them first.
•
If you apply a keyword tag to a collapsed stack, the keyword tag is applied to all
items in the stack. When you run a search on the keyword tag, the top photo in
the stack appears in the search results marked with the stack icon. If you want
to apply a keyword tag to only one photo in a stack, expand the stack and apply
the keyword tag to that photo selectively.
•
You can access Version Set and Stack commands by either by right-clicking the
group and choosing from the context menu or by using the Edit menu.
