Elements also lets you print from the Organizer if you're using Windows. The Organizer gives you many more output options than the Editor, including printing several photos on one page. You can create contact sheets of thumbnails, picture packages (like you'd order from a professional photographer), and labels. You can also easily add all kinds of fancy borders to your photos in the Organizer.
