Hello i,m new of this, sorry for my english it may be not very correct.
I notice that in elements 6.0 when switch to editing workspace, the image in smaller respect Organize mode.
But selecting Fit screen , the size will be ok but the quality is pretty bad to work with.
Is there any place to work with the same size of organize mode without any quality loss.

I'm not sure why in Fit Screen the quality is bad or any different from an Organizer view of the same size. It's not something I've noticed. I assume you are talking about the Organizer view in Full Screen mode with all the tool bars gone. You can't quite do that in the Editor but you can close the Project Bin and the Palette Bin and float the tool bars and palettes that you use and that gives you a lot more screen to work with. Here's a layout I use where I've combined the palettes I use most often and keep them minized until I need them. You can then have the image fill a lot more of the space available on the screen.

But even when you've done this the most accurate view will be by zooming in and viewing 100% (View Actual Pixels)

Thanks Tony, but with 100% zoom the image is perfect clear but to small to work with.
To reach your dimension i have to zoom in 300% loosing part of the image and loosing quality.

Sounds like you have too small an image to work on. Look at Image>Resize>Image size and see what the Pixel Dimensions are. If the image came from a 6Mp digital camera then it should be something like 3000 by 2000 pixels. If you only have a few hundred pixels then it won't be very good quality whatever you look at it with.

Where did the image come from and how did you get it into the program?

Here's my can't live without palettes

How can I shut off the "How to" palette - I've minimized it all I can but I never use it and can't figure out how to turn it off.

And - Why can't I get a crisp screenshot?

Janice....

Left Click on the More option on the How To Palette. Uncheck the Place in Palette Bin when Closed option. Then drag the Palette out onto your Work Space and click on the X for Close.

Thanks so much - it was the drag into workspace and closing part of it I wasn't doing - now it's gone. :D
