Also, when you use the guided edit, the first step is to create a selection of the imageвЂ™s background. This isnвЂ™t terribly difficult to do with existing tools, and I donвЂ™t think it saves you much effort. The new Depth of Field guided edit helps you blur the background of photos so as to highlight your primary subject. Likewise, the Orton effect applies a вЂњsoft, dreamyвЂќ look to photos, which can produce interesting results, especially for portraits. The new Picture Stack guided edit breaks your photo into four, eight, or twelve blocks and assembles them into a collage-like group itвЂ™s a mildly interesting effect. In case you still want to doctor a photo or two before moving them along to Facebook, the editor application of Elements 10 has a few new features, including three new guided edits (walkthroughs). It is pretty good at identifying people it suggested pictures of people that had been taken 30 years apart pictures of people with hair and without hair (me) and shots of people looking straight at the camera and looking sideways. Then you run a visual search, which will produce a dialog box with peopleвЂ™s faces.

First, you authorize Elements to connect to your Facebook account, permitting it to download your friends list. In Photoshop Elements 10, you can tag them with your Facebook friendsвЂ™ names.

You can use it to identify people in photos and then tag them. The main organizer application seemed stable when the auto analyzer was turned off or had finished analyzing media but even then, the organizer seemed lethargicвЂ“and its best features depend on the auto analyzer.ДЇace recognition is another feature that relies on the auto analyzer. The company says that it has changed the analyzerвЂ™s memory footprint to make it вЂњleaner.вЂќ Nevertheless, on my system, the analyzer, which runs as a separate Windows process, accessed nearly as much memory as the organizer application, and it required a substantial amount of CPU power while it was running. When I could keep it running, it did a nice job of finding true duplicatesвЂ“such as batches of images that I had downloaded twice, for some reasonвЂ“and of вЂњstackingвЂќ (grouping) images of similar composition.ДЄdobe says that it has heard complaints about previous versions of the auto analyzer (see this site for a compendium of common complaints about earlier Elements versions and the auto analyzer, together with some possible fixes). ThatвЂ™s probably reasonable, given the amount of data and the intensive nature of the operation, but the auto analyzer crashed a few times while it was working and again when I was sorting through the results, requiring me to restart the 20-minute process each time.

The application took about a minute to search a group of 171 images on my three-year-old dual-Xeon workstation, but it required more than 20 minutes to search my full 20,000-image catalog. But when I used the feature to find duplicates in a catalog of 20,000 images and videos, it operated very slowly. The ability to search for duplicates based on visual similarities, when you have thousands of images in a catalog, would be an incredible time-saver. When I can capture a thousand images in an hour, IвЂ™m most concerned with downloading them to my computer quickly, weeding out bad shots and duplicates quickly, and uploading the keepers somewhere for friends, family, and others to view. Image organization and management are more important than ever these days, what with digital SLRs firing off five or more shots a second, writing massive images to memory cards holding as much as 128GB, and online storage sites offering to host as much data as youвЂ™re willing to pay for. But the organizer in Photoshop Elements 10вЂ“an increasingly important component of ElementsвЂ“suffers from performance shortcomings that drag the entire product down.
