Start by double-clicking on the Elements icon on your Windows or Mac to open the Home Screen.

This screen acts a gateway into the various parts of Elements itself. Firstly it provides creative inspiration by offering examples of its features through Auto Creations, a clever AI-driven feature that presents examples of its features using your own images automatically selected from the Organizer. This includes slideshows, Pattern Brush, Painterly, B&W Selection, Depth of Focus effects, collages, special text effects, and more. The Home Screen also features web inspiration links, a list of previously viewed files, and three shortcuts to open the Organizer, Editor, or Video Editor.
