If you edit a file in the Elements Organizer, a version set is automatically created for you. If you edit a file in the Editor, you need to manually save
the edits to a version set.
In the Editor, do one of the following:
Edit a file, and then choose File > Save (when you first edit and save a photo, Elements Organizer automatically opens the Save As dialog
box) or File > Save As. Select the Save In Version Set With Original option, specify a name for the file (or leave the default name), and click
Save.
Re-edit a previously edited photo, and then choose File > Save As to create a separate copy of the edited version. Select the Save In
Version Set With Original option, specify a name for the file and click Save.
The newly edited copy is placed at the top of the version set when viewed in the Media view.
View all photos in a version set
While viewing all photos in a version set, you can edit any photo, make a photo the topmost, delete any photo in the version set, or add tags to
any photo (when you add a tag to one photo in a set, it is applied to all photos).
1. In the Media view select a version set and do one of the following:
Click the Expand button beside the version set thumbnail.
Choose Edit > Version Set > Expand Items In Version Set.
2. While viewing the expanded version set, do one or more of the following:
Rearrange, delete, or tag the photos.
Modify a photo using Instant Fix or in Photoshop Elements Editor using Full Edit (and then save the file).
3. When you are finished, collapse the photos in the version set by doing one of the following:
Click the Collapse button beside the version set icon.
Choose Edit > Version Set > Collapse Items In Version Set.
Specify the top photo in a version set
When a version set is created, Elements Organizer places the most recently edited version of the photo on top. You can make a different photo
the topmost. When a version set is expanded, the top photo is the leftmost in the Media view.
To see a version set that belongs to a stack, you need to first expand the stack.
1. In the Media view, right-click a version set and choose Version Set > Expand Items In Version Set.
2. Right-click the photo you want on top and choose Version Set > Set As Top Item.
3. Right-clickthe new top photo and choose Version Set > Collapse Items In Version Set.
