If you've always put off organizing your photos, then you are in luck!
Technology has finally caught up with was you've been wishing for. Finally, you can sit back, relax and let Photoshop Elements organize your photos for you!
Don't worry, you won't lose control of your photos either, they will still be there, in neat folders (yes, it will take care for the folders too!).
In Organizing for Absolute Beginners, I'll share more about how to use the automated organizing features in Organizer, but here's a little taste of what Organizer can automate to make your life easier.
Automated Importing
Organizer can monitor new files that you’ve just unzipped, or imported into the Organizer ready for you to tag. You can either import your photos with Adobe's Photo Downloader directly or have it watch your folders for new photos.
Who
Face recognition that allows you to easily tag people, and even connect with Facebook to make tagging friends and family a breeze.
What
Organizer adds smart tags to your photos so everything from kangaroos to Christmas to cooking classes are automatically labelled.
Photos are automatically collected into events based on bursts of photography. Spend an afternoon at the zoo? All you need to do is label the event once and all your zoo photos are set up.
Where
If you have a GPS-enabled camera or take photos on your smartphone, you'll find all your photos are automatically added to the map. You can also manually add locations.
When
Assuming your camera and/or phone have correct dates, your photos can be imported by Organizer and filed in your choice of folder formats. If you have scanned images or photos with incorrect dates, Organizer will help you fix that too!
Color and Shapes
Using visual similarity searches you can find similar objects in your photos without any tagging, or use it to speed tagging and combine it with advanced searching to cut organising.
Your Best Photos
Photoshop Elements Organizer can even curate your photo library and select just the very best photos you have from any selection you make.
Doesn't that sound fabulous?

Hi Melissa, are these features only on Elements 2018 or is it applicable to earlier versions?
Hi Tracey
Which version do you have? Most of these features are available from PSE13 onwards.
Auto curate is new to PSE2018, and the smart tags were added in PSE15 I think.
I hope this helps!
Melissa
PSE13 but hoping Santa will give me PSE2018 😉
