Using the How To palette

The How To palette provides activities, called recipes, that guide you through different image-editing tasks. For example, you can view instructions about restoring an old photograph. Photoshop Elements will even do some of the steps for you.

To use the How To palette:

1. Display the How To palette by clicking its tab in the palette well. If the How To palette isn't showing in the palette well or the work area, choose Window > How To to display the palette.
2. Select a category of recipes, and click the recipe you want to use.
3. Follow the instructions in the recipe. When available, you can click Do this step for me to have Photoshop Elements perform the task for you.
