Unlike Version Sets, which have been in Organizer, Stacks are the actual images rather than different versions of the same image. You can set Organizer to stack images automatically based on capture time and similarity, or you can select images for stacking at any time. Stacked images display with a special icon in the upper-right corner of the thumbnail, along with a darker border and button to expand and collapse the stack. Similar to a traditional light table and slides, Stacks let you group related images into a single thumbnail that can be expanded or collapsed as needed. The Organizer component has been updated to make image sorting and browsing easier. The latest release (currently Windows only) makes organizing and editing images easier and gives you more control over advanced image corrections than in previous versions. Elements 5.0 is no exception, with a number of enhancements that will appeal to both casual and serious photographers, as well as a new group of users who have avoided traditional digital-imaging software in the past.

Every release of Adobe Photoshop Elements raises the bar a bit more and brings the feature set closer to its big brother, Photoshop CS2.
