Tool enhancements
Tools have been refined to obtain optimal results. Additional features have been added to existing tools:
The Sharpen tool now has a Protect Detail option, that ensures minimized pixelated artifacts while enhancing and sharpening
details.
The Move tool now has a layer selection option, that enables you to right-click a multi-layered image and select a specific layer.
Choosing a layer this way automatically selects the layer in the Layers panel.
The Color Picker tool has been equipped with additional settings in the Tool Options bar. You can now choose to sample color from
a selected layer, or all available layers.
The Color Replacement tool now has a sampling option to choose how a color is picked for replacement. You can
choose to control how the color is replaced using the Continuous, Once, or Background Swatch settings.
Refine Edges tool The Refine Edges tool has been enhanced to provide the ability to select the more granular and finer details
from an image.
Online Content
Most sample and collateral graphics, backgrounds, frames, and themes have been moved online. Storing files online saves a large amount of disk
space on the computer where you have Photoshop Elements 11 installed.
When you install Photoshop Elements 11, these files are downloaded as thumbnails. Files that have not been downloaded have a small blue band
that runs diagonally across the upper-right corner of the thumbnail (similar to a blue photo-corner).
Thumbnails in the Graphics panel, with a blue photo corner to indicate if graphic is available for download
A. Blue photo corner B. Graphic not downloaded, but available online C. Graphic downloaded to computer, available for use
When you choose to use the file in a project (for example, a background in a photo book project), these files are downloaded in their full size.
Double-click a graphic to download it from the online repository in its full size.
