CHAPTER 1: FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND ELEMENTS

EDITING YOUR

PHOTOS

The ﬁrst time you call up one of the panels that’s not initially displayed in the Custom

Workspace (by selecting its name in either the Window menu or the menu that ap-

pears when you click the down arrow on the right side of the More button), you get

the same ﬂoating panel group that you get in the Basic Workspace (page 11). Luckily,

you can ﬁx this in a jiy. Just pull the panels you want loose from the clump. After

that, Elements will remember what you did, and those panels will appear right where

you left them last time. So the ﬁrst time you call up the History panel, for instance,

you get the six-panel group. But if you separate the History panel from the group,

from then on if you go to Window→History or click the arrow next to the More but-

ton and choose History, all you get is the panel you want, not the whole clump. You

can put the panel in the bin, leave it ﬂoating, or combine it with another panel, and

that’s exactly how it will appear next time.

NOTE

If you’ve floated any panels, clicking the More button closes them. You can click the arrow on the right

side of this button to display the pop-out menu and make choices there, but click the main part of the button

and everything is gone. Click the button again to bring everything back.

To close a ﬂoating panel, click its Close button (in Windows, the X at its upper right;

on a Mac, at its upper left), or click the little white square made of four horizontal

lines in the panel’s upper right, and then choose Close.

NOTE

Confusingly, Adobe sometimes refers to floating panels as “tabs” in Elements’ menus. So, for example,

when you click the four-line square on a floating panel you see a Close Tab Group option instead of a Close Panel

Group option.

In addition, when you’re using the Custom Workspace, you can put ﬂoating panels

into the Panel Bin. Where you drag the panel determines where it appears in the

bin. If you want to see a panel’s tab with the other tabs at the top of the bin, then

drag the panel’s tab onto the other tabs at the top of the bin and let go when you

see a blue outline. Since the Panel Bin always ﬁlls the entire right side of the screen

from top to bottom, you may also prefer to stack panels vertically so that you can

see more than one at a time. In Elements 12, you can’t really do that, but you can

get the same eect by dragging a panel’s tab onto the tab of a panel already in the

bin. This creates a multi-tabbed panel in the bin. Then, grab the tab of the panel you

want to see lower in the bin and drag it straight down. The panel is actually ﬂoating,

but it will position itself within the conﬁnes of the bin, below the contents of the

ﬁrst panel, so that it’s eectively the same as if it were docked below the ﬁrst panel.

One thing that’s a bit tricky about the Custom Workspace is that you may wind

up losing the Panel Bin completely. If you pull all the panels out of it, the bin feels

unwanted and disappears. This can be handy because it gives you more space to

spread out when working on photos, but if you want the bin back, you may ﬁnd

yourself dragging a panel all over the right side of the screen trying to make it dock

back into the main window. The trick is to move the panel over the

far right
