A Tour of the Photo Organizer in Photoshop Elements 3

Now switch the Organize bin to show Collections by clicking the collection tab at the top. Collections work a lot like tags, but are more for grouping photos you want to work with, rather than for indentifying photos for searches. Unlike tags, you can only restrict your view to one collection at a time. And when viewing a collection, you can arrange the photos into a custom sort order. For example, you might create a collection for a group of photos you want to use in a calendar. While viewing the collection, you can drag the photos into the order you want them to appear in your calendar. We'll use collections in an upcoming lesson.
