Opening Stored Images
If you’ve got photos already stored on your computer, you have several options for
opening them with Elements. If the file format is set to open in Elements, then
double-click the file’s icon to launch Elements and open the image. (If you want to
change which files open automatically in Elements, see the box on page 37.)
You’ve also got a few ways to open files from within Elements:
• From the Organizer, for files not yet in the Organizer. Go to File ➝ Get Photos
➝ From Files and Folders, or press Ctrl+Shift+G, and then select your file. The
other options in the Get Photos menu (like opening files stored on a mobile
phone) are covered on page 483.
You can also select an image that’s stored in the Organizer and open it directly
in the Editor. To do so, in the Organizer, click the file’s thumbnail, and then
press Ctrl+I, or go to Edit ➝ Go to Full Edit. If you’d rather go to Quick Fix (see
page 91), choose Edit ➝ Go to Quick Fix instead.
• From the Editor. Go to File ➝ Open or press Ctrl+O and select your file.
