Creations in Photoshop Elements include photo book pages, photo layouts, album pages, greeting cards, CD and DVD sleeves and labels, slide shows, Video-CDs, Web galleries, "flipbook" animations, calendars, and PhotoStamps. Some of these, such as calendars and PhotoStamps, are online services which you cannot print at home.

Photo Creations has undergone an overhaul for Photoshop Elements 5, and now all the print-at-home projects are easier than ever to customize. You can start from a completely blank slate, or choose a minimal theme, Or go all out with full customization in Photoshop Elements Editor. The screen shot here shows the initial setup screen for creating album pages. You choose your size and layout, and a theme, if desired. You can choose to have Elements auto-fill the templates with selected photos, and include captions if you wish.

Once you click OK in this screen, your photos are transferred to the Editor and your creation is built right before your eyes. This process can be slow, but the result is a a fully editable starting point for your personalized creations. I'll tell you more about editing creations on the next page...
