Things you wish you had known about
I suppose that all of us have things we wished we had know about Elements ... those things that you struggle with for ages and then someone says something and you realise that there is a far simpler way to do it .. Basic things that tutorials and books don't seem to cover. Maybe we can help new people avoid some of the ones that tripped us up
 Here is one of mine: It was such a relief when someone mentioned that you could "Add to" or Subtract from" a selection ... I thought that you had to do it all at once. Can you imagine trying to do that  Wendy

Well this is a silly little thing that I'm sure is covered lots of places and everyone knows it but I was frustrated because my brushes, clone tools etc etc suddenly became cross hairs with no indication of brush size. I checked preferences and that had it set right
 . Took me a while to find that my Caps Lock was on. That's when I found that it works as a toggle to change the brush appearance. Should have known it I guess but I didn't, but I do now Tony

I wish I had known about the
Layer>layer style>style settings to change border sizes and stuff when the little "f" thingy isn't enough.

Wish I had known that when my brushes, clone tool, eraser wouldn't work all I had to do was take the mouse on my Wacom tablet off and set it someplace else when using my regular mouse.

Also took me a while to figure out how to clear a layer style--I found that right-clicking on the layer pops up a context menu enabling clear layer style. It would be so conventient if they'd put a button right next to the Create Layer button to clear layer styles.
Another lightbulb went on when I realized you could scale layer effects through the Layer > Layer Style menu. Diana

Another one from me ...
If you want to scale a pattern you can do it it when you use Layer>New Fill layer>Pattern ... Wendy
