Creating and sharing photo projects
After you’ve perfected your photos in Photoshop Elements, you can use them in various fun projects that you can share
with family and friends. For example, you can create printed photo projects, such as albums, scrapbook pages, greeting
cards, CD/DVD labels and jackets, and photo collages that you can print at home. Professionally designed templates
feature color-coordinated, themed layouts for scrapbook pages, cards, and more. In the Create or Share tab, choose the
type of project you’d like to create, and Photoshop
Elements walks you through the process with the appropriate tools
and instructions.
Make printed CD/DVD labels and jackets.
To give your projects a more personal look, you can customize the templates. Adjust layout colors to better
complement your photos, for example, and add new graphical elements, text, and effects, such as drop shadows and
glows. Use the Contents panel to quickly browse hundreds of frames, themes, backgrounds, clip art, and effects to
apply to your photos and photo projects.
