Learn Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 - Part 1: The Organizer (Training Tutorial)

[@kandaschurr7034]

Just had to thank you on behalf of all of us who are not wizards! Being a geezer, or geezette in my case, makes the high tech world a tad frightening and your step-by-step presentation helps tremendously. I have wanted to try this for many years and here I am and loving it!!!

[@MAJ143]

I just want to say THANK YOU for this easy to understand tutorial! I have spent money on online tutorials and have watched many other folks as I'm trying to learn this Photoshop Elements 11 program I found on my computer, and you are the first person who has CLEARLY explained the steps from a beginner's perspective. Most people do a beginners tutorial but don't take the time to explain the buttons and the steps. I have subscribed, liked, and visited both your old & new website, and I cannot tell you just how appreciative I am!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Again, the new KZbin comment system won't allow me to respond to some comments. I want everyone to know that I really appreciate you watching the videos -- thank you! If I don't respond to your individual post, it's not me being rude, it's KZbin not allowing me.

[@Supermanohman]

Anthony Morganti hey does this work with PSE 13? Like, do they really change much between editions? I'm trying to keep from having to take a class at my local jr college so I'm learning all I can from youtube videos.

[@HTGGeorge]

+Vic Vinegar Hi Vic, normally Adobe products don't change that much between versions, mostly just new features added. Occasionally there will be a big change in the look of the interface. This happened with PSE between version 10 and version 11. Also between Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS6. To answer your question directly there is very little difference between PSE 11 and PSE 13 in the Organizer

[@marks8910]

Just subscribed to your channel. Already watched all of the tutorials on Lightroom which were very well done and so helpful, Adobe could not have done better. Thank you for putting so much work into your tutorials so you may help others understand these programs from a great teacher.

[@bernardcliveshelley298]

Anthony I would like to express my appreciation and thanks for your You Tube tutorials in both Elements and Lightroom, I am new to photography and have both programs, I have bought books and have found them fairly useless to me, I need to see what to do and I am sure there are thousands of people- novices- who need the visual tutorial. I am slowly working my way through them all and I already know that I will be able to produce better photographs. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated. Wales UK.

[@texaswink]

Just started this series. I am also doing your LightRoom and Photoshop series. I am amazed how how much I have learned and how easy your videos are to follow. Thank you for all your guidance.

[@Blackfive1945]

Got Lightroom and you`ve helped enormously with it . Getting Elements 12 and starting with this one . Your tutorials are top class and for me by far the best . I only listen to you now .

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thanks Roger! I appreciate you watching!

[@yvonnetanenbaum1661]

slowly making my way through your elements and lightroom videos. You are thorough and make everything very easy to understand, thanks!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thank you very much for your kind words and thank you for watching!!

[@garyhillery6875]

This is Gary from the Gold Coast in Australia, first came across your name scrolling through tutorials and came across Photo Critique which was great, from that I have been looking at your tutorials for Lightroom and Photo Elements, though I have looked at hundreds of tutorials, I found your style of presentation very easy to absorb, so much so I have gone back to the beginnings and have started again. Once again love your work.

[@braddahbill8131]

I wanted to take this time to thank you as I really appreciate your time, effort, and passion in making these videos. I have watched all 26 Lightroom 5 tutorials and have learned so much more in 2 months than what would have taken me years to learn from trial and error. I just bought Photoshop Elements 12, so here I am at part one - ready to learn. Aloha Tony, and Mahalo.

[@AnthonyMorganti]

You're very kind. I'm really happy that I was able to help. Thank you for watching and good luck with your photography!

[@Kayla-xp4lj]

I loved the way you taught it very simple and clear to understand. Looking forward to the rest of your teachings as I got the Elements 11 last Xmas and never used because I could not understand it; with you I think it will be easy. Thank you Anthony.

[@nsottile1211]

Thanks for the taking the time to create/share this video. Just got Photoshop Elements 12 for Christmas and I.HAD.NO.IDEA. how much I had to learn!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

You're welcome. Thank you very much for watching!

[@jeanbrisbane1819]

Your Elements training videos are a great help in teaching Photoshop to retired people in Brisbane, Australia for U3A. Thank you!!

[@spiveylm]

Hi Anthony! I really appreciate you doing this! I am new to PSE 12 and I am using the trial trying to decide if I am going to buy it. I am excited that I was able to find your tutorials and so far this one was VERY helpful!! Cant wait to watch the rest.

[@AnthonyMorganti]

That's great to hear Leslie. Thank you very much for watching!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

You're welcome Billie. I truly appreciate you watching and I'm glad the videos are helping you!

[@goldieford3353]

Anthony, thank you so much for taking the time to create these great training videos. I am so happy I found you on KZbin. You have made learning this new to me program so fun and exciting. Your dedication is greatly appreciated. Again thank you and keep the training coming!

[@anthannette]

Love all the tutorials I have watched so far...Anthony makes it easy to follow and understand....Thank you for all your time and expertise..

[@grahamharrison9051]

So far, so good. I really like the short format, I feel like I’m going to make progress with you, thanks Anthony.

[@nkbay]

Great series of tutorials. Anthony has the ability to make it simple enough for newbies and effective enough for those who have some understanding of Photoshop Elements

[@jessievinson1]

Awesome tutorial! So great to be able to find tutorials like this to teach us how to use our software. I'll be watching them all!

[@mkieschnick7093]

I've had different versions of PSE over the years, and have never taken time to learn the basics.. Silly, I know. This was my first video, and I plan to continue your series. Thanks so much!!

[@ediepotgieter6951]

Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into these videos. They are fantastic. You ROCK!

[@wrcavender]

Great series, especially appreciate your effort to present training in 'bite-size' pieces..

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thank Mark! Glad you liked the tutorials!

[@sallymary2]

Great video regarding the organizer. I really just came to your site to learn the photoshop elements. But now I am sure I will use the organizer as well.

[@AnthonyMorganti]

You're welcome Marcia. Thank you for watching!

[@susanridgway4101]

I'm still using 11, look forward to working my way through the tutorials. I upgraded from 6 to 11 a couple of years ago, and never felt comfortable with the new organizer - this helped a lot.

[@oldie121]

Thanks for the training videos, what do you think is better for editing photo's lightroom 5 or photoshop elements 11

[@bern2020]

Thanks Tony that was fantastic. Best initial Elements tutorial I've seen yet. I have Aperture but its limited so I thought i would look to see what Photoshop has, and I'm already convinced after watching your first few Elements tutorials that I will purchase Elements 12.

[@55dragracer]

Great work just love the videos, great voice ( not annoying hip voices) no loud music so you can hear everything very clearly, this is important to me and It's different on speed drawings, I don't mind it so much but your voice is perfect and helps me remember your tuition

[@martintaylor4620]

I've come to this a little late but a you give a nice simple explanation of what I'm looking at. Subscribed and liked. Thank you.

[@vster7]

Great explanation on organizing photos. Simple and to the point!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thank you and thank you for watching!

[@terry8504]

Nice Job. Very informative. I'm making the leap to the organizer cause I'm really tired of exporting photos from iphoto in order to edit them in Photoshop Elements. I'm currently not using the organizer and it's time to start, so I will be watching more of your videos. Thanks for the videos so us dummies can get with it.

[@patrol681]

An excellent and well presented video series. I too, like many of the other viewers have had Photoshop Elements 11 for a long time, and always ended up frustrated with it, and not really understanding it, Now, through the help of your training videos, I see the 'light at the end of the tunnel' keep up the good work. Thanks!

[@toddt0606]

Hey Anthony, great video, thanks for that! Question, would you suggest this program if a person is going to use it to create professional marketing pieces (business purposes to sell digital products)? Ones with a large amount of text and not necessarily photos?

[@marciakirton9891]

Thanks for doing these videos Anthony. I look forward to learning from your series.

[@Jetmugg]

Thank you very much for creating this series of tutorial videos. The videos are easy to follow, as compared to trying to learn by "dead reckoning" or the help menu within PSE. I don't know how you can produce these videos and post them free of charge, but I am very thankful that you have done so. One of my main goals for 2014 is to become a more proficient photographer. I look forward to following your series.

[@AnthonyMorganti]

You're welcome and thank you very much for watching!

[@josetorano5042]

Fantastic help. This has been siting in my computer for a long time, never learned how to use it. This video has been easy to understand. going for more!

[@dschenk952]

Just purchased Photoshop Elements to use with Lightroom and I'm happy to have found your series. :)

[@trosencrantz]

Many many wonderful and explicit video's on LR & PSE. What are your thoughts on organizing photo's when you first import them? To use PSE or LR5? I have both and I'm some what new to each and lately been finding I really like LR. Just wondering which maybe best for organizing and or cataloging? Thanks very much!

[@medsmartin2863]

I am an amateur photographer using a Canon EOS 600 D camera. Previously I used Aperture to do the basic edits on my photos but everyone seems to use Photoshop or Lightroom.I tried the 30 day trial version of Lightroom and thanks to your videos have enjoyed using the editing functions. I have now started watching your Elements videos. They are really easy to follow, so thank you for your hard work. I bought Elements 11 in Dec 2013 but have not used it yet ! Do I need to buy Lightroom as well ?

[@jimthrogmorton5671]

You've saved my life with these videos. Cant' thank you enough!

[@dougdavies1089]

hello anthony i really enjoy your tutorials just subscribed ive watched a few on lightroom very informative I'm no spring chicken but ive picked up a lot thank you dont worry about how much you talk your explanation of things is excellent

[@alextitley5171]

I have used the lightroom videos by Antony and have found them very useful.

[@todtod5163]

Thank you Anthony for taking time to make these videos. Very informative and so helpful to me. I'm definitely going to subscribe to your channel and check out your website. Thanks again.

[@colinmelhuish1254]

Great tutorials, best I have come across, also watch Lightroom videos , learned so much. To think I paid for tutorials, and no comparison to these. These have helped so much. Thanks for putting these together.

[@hi4509]

thank you for taking the time to explain each step; it really helps!

[@clintonkoker837]

Excellent tutorial. I am new to Photoshop Elements 12 and found the tutorials in Adobe Help difficult to follow. Hard to know how to start. You made it easy although I suspect Elements 12 has some differences I am sure your tutorials on 11 will help me. I do plan to subscribe to your other videos. Thank you so much.

[@Rootiii1]

Thanks Anthony, excellent instruction!

[@hfsharp]

Great video...Now I can actually work in Elements 11 with some degree of certainty that I will produce something worthwhile and then have it organized where I can later find it again. Thanks, again, great tutorial and very well done, most useful.

[@jfkarram4973]

Excellent introduction! Many Thanks!

[@TNTTravel-kr3zw]

This was very helpful and I will be checking all of them out. i'm about to get Photoshop Elements 11 for my fashion business.

[@socjhz1]

Great Tutorial - very easy to follow -thanks

[@srlkngl]

glad i found you ....thank you for sharing your knowledge...

[@larrylong1358]

Great start to learning this progran.

[@charlieseable]

I wish I had found you long time ago. I started with Elements 4 years ago, learned it by trial and error, upgraded to Elements 12 a year ago and have not used it much because it was so different from 4. My question: will these videos help me learn 12? From this first one I already see similarities, and picked up on some things I am going to start doing when I import my photos. Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I am now going to visit your website.

[@Adikeo]

Very helpful and informative. Thank you!

[@williamyarger3761]

Excellent and very easy to understand

[@michaelmorales4115]

awesome training videos... I have learned a lot from you (Lightroom).

[@rs1427]

I've subscribed to your channel, you have great videos....I do have a question, I'm currently using both LR5 and PS Elements12, which organizer do you prefer for organizing your photo library?

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thank you for watching! I use Lightroom for the organization. My workflow consists of working on the image in Lightroom at the beginning then if needed I move to Elements. So, I'm always in Lightroom and use that to load and organize my images. Thank you again for watching!

[@jmruperto]

Thanks Anthony, good overview

[@sjmogdans]

Well done! Thank you for your detailed explanations!

[@TheMilitantNegro]

I have a blog and I have Adobe and my needs are creating banners/headers for my blog. How difficult will it be for me to get to the part that teaches me to create a header?

[@jonandphyllis]

I've opened PE for the first time recently and have started your tutorials. In this one, you mentioned that I may not get the option to add my metadata in the advanced dialog box which, when I open it now, I don't see the option. How do I enter this information without the dialog box option?

[@corinalucilayeroviarcental7296]

excellent start....congratulations

[@JawazHIFI]

all your videos are really great!

[@charliesquish]

Great tutorials Anthony. I appreciate your efforts. You have helped me more than I can say except to say Thank you.

[@jackboyd2352]

i have been trying to follow you for elements 11 and nothing seems to work i have never done layers and i get as far as getting layers in and i change the colour to black and the brushes symbols go on the screen and the only thing that comes up is what looks like coloured balls and on the right hand side panel no picture is there but coloured tags instead of layers

[@roderickwho1983]

Thanks Anthony

You're welcome. Thank you for watching!

[@smedina146]

I had to uninstall and reinstall PSE 11 after I upgraded to windows 10. Ever since then, not all my fonts show up. The error message I get is this : $$$/ADMDialog/ifontProblemWarnign=TheAdobeUIFont could not be loaded. No amount of searching on the internet has given me results to fix, partly because PSE has come out with several upgrades. Can you help?

[@scottbrown9543]

nice job
