n Elements’ work areas, you find quite a collection of tools, palettes, but-
tons, and options. Just a quick glance at the Elements workspace when you

enter the Standard Edit mode shows you some of the power that Elements
offers with just a click of your mouse. With all the possibilities, the Elements
workspace can be intimidating. To ease your introduction to the many options
for editing your pictures, we break them down for you in this chapter.

Elements has several work areas, and we start off by 
introducing you to the one you’ll likely use most often,
Standard Edit mode. This is the mode in which you can
be creative with all the tools and features Photoshop
Elements is known for, such as filters, drawing tools,
layers, and more. We then introduce other work areas
and tools you may not be as familiar with — Quick
Fix mode for making common corrections to photos,
Creation Setup mode for collecting your photos into
creations such as calendars, and the Photo Bin for
navigating among all your open images.

Before you start working in Elements, you’ll find it helpful
to know how to undo edits so you can start over easily and
where you can find additional sources of help within Elements.
We also explain one of the handiest ways to select tools and enter
common commands — keyboard shortcuts.
