Now I would like to direct the attention to the sidebar on the right. This function is very handy and I use it a lot. Than it is easy to undo filter actions when the dialog is still opened.
Tip: On almost all filter dialogs you can change the CANCEL to a BACK button by pressing the ALT key. If you have more than one file opened it is easy to arrange them with the arrange button (right to the blueish PSE icon at the top). The sidebar on the right is shrinkable to offer more space for the photos. If you get used to it you may work well with this special behavior. As the consequence the photo window is maximized inside the Editor window only (see screenshot above). A blue frame will appear and then release the window. However to maximize the photo window inside the Editor window, move the photo window to the top of the working area (orange line below the option tool bar). But in my opinion it is less useful on one screen computers. This could be handy if you use two screens, where you have the photo on one and the UI on the other screen. If you click on the maximize button of a photo window the whole screen and all UI components will be covered by it. At the bottom you find a project bar where all your opened files are displayed as thumbnails. It contains different palettes, as histogram, layer, etc. At the right side there is a multi function sidebar located. It has a menu bar at the top, a toolbar at the left and a tool dependent option bar below the menu. The color of the UI is dark grey as many other applications in this field. The Editor’s user interface (UI) looks a little bit different to normal Windows programs.

In fact PSE’s Organizer is able to do some basic photo processing tasks but they can not be controlled well. The organizer fulfills the biggest part of my workflow, that I described in the first part. Whether these crops constrains my work flow or not shows the following report.
