Business products photos in Photoshop Elements 11

Question

I am a beginner with Photoshop Elements 11 but not with working with photo editing. At the moment I am at the beginning of an Adobe tutorial on Elements Organizer. There are four views: Media, People, Places and Events.
I purchased Photoshop Elements 11 for the primary purpose of displaying my wood art products that I make. As I get further into the tutorial it is likely my question and concern will be addressed. But for now, I don't see where my wood art photos fit in the four views?  Also I will want to organize my photos by category of products, such as men's wooden ties, wooden vases, space shuttle, and many more.

Answer 1

The 'media' choice is the answer for your custom organization.
The organizer lets you organize by categories, subcategories and tags. That is a three levels hierarchy you can create freely.
You might need more than 3 levels, but that's not really a problem.
Hierarchies are handy when you know you'll have hundreds of tags to choose from. It's easier to select them from a list.
But you should think of two other ways other than hierarchies to achieve fine selections :
- Adding captions and notes, that enables quick text search in PSE11
- Combining tags in advanced search mode. You don't need hierarchies to search for a product type with a given material and a given creator introduced in a given year...
