Guided Edit<br />
The Guided Edit mode provides more structure around specific tasks, helping you accomplish those tasks more easily,<br />
and with explanations throughout the process. The Guided Edit tab is located in the Edit tab of the Panel Bin in the<br />
Edit workspace.<br />
With Guided Edit, you can complete these tasks:<br />
Basic Photo Edits Crop, recompose, rotate and straighten or both, and sharpen photos.<br />
Lighting And Exposure Lighten or darken, adjust brightness and contrast, and adjust levels.<br />
Color Correction Enhance colors, remove a color cast, and correct skin tone.<br />
Guided Activities Touch up scratches, blemishes or tear marks, guide for editing a photo, and fix keystone distortion.<br />
Photomerge Intelligently merge multiple images of group shots or faces, or use the scene cleaner to remove unwanted<br />
elements in a photo.<br />
Note: The Guided Edits available may vary in your version of Photoshop Elements.<br />
Automated Actions Lets you perform a series of tasks on a photo. Photoshop Elements comes with a set of actions.<br />
You can also play actions created in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Keep in mind that the custom actions can only perform<br />
tasks that use features supported in Photoshop Elements, and may not work on all file types or layers.<br />
Photographic Effects Lets you apply effects to create a line drawing, create an old-fashioned photo look, and make a<br />
photo look saturated like slide film images.<br />
Fun Edits Lets you complete complex workflows in a small number of easy steps. You can add a Lomo effect, create an<br />
Out Of Bounds effect, create a perfect portrait, transform an image into pop art, and add a reflection effect.<br />
