• Recall special events – through the new ability to organize around events. Since many photographic occasions center around life events such as the birth of a child or family holiday, you can go into the events view, and using the calendar, you can filter based on dates so that when you need to, you can quickly find that photo that you need.

• Create pro-quality photographic effects – using guided edits. These take a step-by-step approach to guiding you to adding amazing effects to your photos. New Guided
Edits help you create tilt-shift effects that make photos look like miniature scenes; vignettes that draw attention to the center of your photos; and high key and low key effects that add energy or drama with high levels of white or black. In addition to adding new Guided Edits, the improvements to the user interface and workflows help to enhance the look, feel, and ease-of-use of existing edits, so you can try more options until you find just the right look.

• Turn photos into illustrations – through the use of creative filters. Now there are three new original filters in the latest release of Photoshop Elements let you get the wow without the work. By simply clicking to apply new Comic, Graphic Novel, and Pen & Ink filters, you can get effects that will make people wonder whether they’re looking at a photo or an original piece of art.
