Adobe Photoshop Elements 6
 

Page 2

Above the palettes are three Edit icons; Full, Quick, and Guided.

Full Quick and Guided

The Full option gives you access to all the tools and palettes. This gives you full control of your image.

Full edit mode - tools palette has been floated

 

The Quick edit option provides a limited amount of editing capability, such as crop, colour saturation, sharpening etc. 

The Quick edit mode - note the Reset button above right image is not available - YET!

 

This may be sufficient for most quick fixes, but you’re not going to benefit from the finer controls that the full edit offers. The main window shows a before and after setting, any adjustments you make can be reset via a Reset button located above the After image. For reasons best known to Adobe, you can’t Reset the image until you activate another tool.

The Guided option provides detailed instruction for a limited amount of basic activities including; Crop, rotate, sharpen, exposure, colour correction, scratch removal and Photomerge. You could manipulate a picture and watch Desperate Housewife's at the same time in this mode, i.e. it doesn't need an active mind.

The Guided mode - which gets the job done without taxing your brain
