Chapter 1: What's New
What's new in Elements Organizer 14
The extensive new enhancements in Elements Organizer 14 combine powerful features with an intuitive interface,
taking your media management and editing experience to a new level.
1
Elements Organizer now groups together similar-looking faces, making it easier for you to tag people in your
photographs and to organize and view your photos based on the people in them.
Elements Organizer 14 analyzes the date and time information to take the work out of arranging and viewing your
memories by events. Thus, it is easier than ever before to mark and find your media files based on events such as
birthday parties, mother’s day, father’s day, or family vacations.
The improved Places view lets you browse your media files faster by location and time. The new Pinned tab lets you
view your media files right there on the map at the tagged location.
And, a new onboarding experience and a new intuitive, visual interface for importing your files make it easier for you
to start using Elements Organizer.
In short, Elements Organizer 14 helps you do more things, more easily.
Powerful and easier people recognition
It is now even easier and faster to tag people in your photos. You no more have to select the faces individually in the
Media view and tag them.
Last updated 9/16/2015
What's New
Elements Organizer now automatically groups similar faces for you during import. Once you have finished importing,
faces of all people who have not yet been named are displayed in the new UnNamed tab of the People view. You just
click once to tag friends and family members for an entire batch of photos.
2
The Named tab of the People room displays the profiles of all the people whom you have already named. In the Named
tab you can also rename the tags, confirm the tag names and view all Photos and faces in which they appear for each
person.
For more information, see Marking faces in photos and organizing People view.
Enhanced and more intuitive Places feature
All your media files with GPS information are now automatically tagged and displayed in the Pinned tab of the Places
view. So, if your camera supports GPS tracking, your media files are automatically displayed in the Pinned tab as soon
as you have imported them.
If a media file does not have GPS data, it is displayed in the UnPinned tab, where you can add location information for
the file. Once you have added this information, the file is displayed in the Pinned tab.

What's New

In the Pinned tab, you can click any file to view its details.
You can fine-tune the location once you have tagged your media files. You can also replace the location tag with a
custom name to better identify the location or to personalize the location tag (for example, change a location name to
“My home”).
For more information, see Adding and managing place (location) data
More flexibility in managing event information
The Events view now provides a more detailed view of how events are tagged to your media files and makes it easier for
you to tag events.
The Events view includes two tabs: Named and Suggested.
Last updated 9/16/2015
What's New
The media files are organized by date and time. You can increase or decrease the number of tracks displayed in the tab
by moving the slider.
4
The Suggested tab is similar to the Smart Events view in the previous release, but provides you finer control and a better
view of media files.
The Named tab displays your files organized by events, providing an easy way for you to view your memories organized
by the events in your life.
For more information, see Adding and managing event data.
New onboarding and import experience
The new "Import in Bulk" feature of Elements Organizer 14 provides a visual, intuitive interface and makes it easy for
you to import a large number of media files at one go.
The feature is launched automatically when you open Elements Organizer 14 for the first time or when you create a
new catalog.

Refine selection brush
Need to make an ultra-fine selection? The existing tools in Photoshop Elements help make fine selections, but some
situations require further precise and accurate selections. For example, you might be trying to select fine strands of hair
in a portrait or grass in landscaped scenery.
The enhanced Refine Selection Brush tool now has additional controls to enable you to make very fine selections. With
options to vary the sensitivity of the brush, you can make extremely detailed selections.
