34 Chapter 3: Working in Photoshop Elements Working in the Edit workspace of Photoshop Elements gives you choices about working with your files. You can set options for opening, saving, and exporting files by type, by file size, and resolution. You can also process and save camera raw files. These tools make it easy to combine files of different types and optimize them in Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 10. In the Edit workspace, you can create a blank file, open a recently used file, specify which files types to open in Photoshop Elements, and more. An additional option for working in the Edit workspace is to use the Guided Edit feature. Guided Edits helps you when you're unsure of a workflow or how to accomplish a task. They empower users to complete complex editing workflows in a small number of easy steps.
