The basics

Artwork and Effects > Favorites section >>
The Favorites section of the Artwork and Special
Effects palette lists all the artwork, effects, themes
and styles that you have nominated as favorites.
This area is a great place to store the Artwork and
Effects entries that you use time and time again. For
instance when you fi nd a layer style or fi lter that you
particularly like then, rather than have to search for it
each time you want to use it, simply click the Add
Favorites star at the bottom of the palette to store
the style in the Favorites area.
Remove items from the Favorites by right-clicking on
the thumbnail of the Favorites entry and selecting
Remove from Favorites entry in the pop-up menu.
ADVANCED PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 5.0 FOR DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHERS
Artwork and Effects > Themes section >>
The Themes section lists a variety of pre-designed
backgrounds and matched frame sets that can be
applied to your Elements’ document. A document
page can only have one theme at a time so trying to
apply a second theme will replace the existing
background and frames. A multi-page document
can have many differently themed pages though.
Themes are a great place to start when you want to
provide a consistent look and feel to your album or
scrapbook pages. Commencing your project with
themes doesn’t mean that you can’t add other
frames, graphics, shapes or text later. Just choose
and apply the selected frame style from the
Artwork and Effects palette as you would normally.
You can also change the theme’s background by
picking and applying a new background. Different
frame styles can be substituted by dragging the new
style over the existing frame and letting go when
the layer border turns blue.
Adjusting Style Settings: The attributes of the Text Effects or Layer
Styles can be adjusted using the Style Settings dialog which is displayed
by double-clicking the Star icon in the layer or by selecting Layer > Layer
Style > Style Setting .
