View
This menu lets you control how your photos are presented in the Organizer. It also includes two very cool ways to look through a group of photos or compare photos.
View Photos in Full Screen
New to Elements 4, this is one of the best features in the Organizer and a much-requested feature from long-time Elements fans. Choose it or press F11, and you get a full-screen slideshow of your photos. Elements presents you with a floating control strip to help you navigate through the photos, but it appears only when you mouse over it. It's a great way to check through a group of newly imported photos, and you can even choose music to listen to while you watch your slideshow.
Compare Photos Side by Side
This is similar to "View Photos in Full Screen" in that you get a full-screen view. But in "Compare Photos Side by Side," you get to see any two photos of your choice side by side. It's great for choosing which photos you want to keep or print. You can also get to "Compare Photos Side by Side" by pressing F12. To bring in a new photo for comparison, click the photo that you want to get rid of.
Refresh
If you need to refresh the view, choose this menu item or press F5.
