Names of Feature Effects
There should be a better correlation between the Feature Effects names as they appearing atop each individual cell of the Effects Gallery Grid view, with the list of Features under the All Effects portion of the Refine Your Search Panel.
As this is a community based system, as the contributed Effects are named by users, they should correlate to a Keyword cascading system that matches what is presented in the All Effects list. For example, in exploring the Select Area for a photo, I chose the Sky. After confirming the Smart Brush effect, the Effects Gallery Grid presented a vast number of pages. Amongst the first several on the first Grid page, one effect was entitled: Dramatic Sunset. However,there was no correlating "Sunset" group immediately seen in the All Effects Panel. Even under the Mood group of the All Effects area, there was no "Sunset" choice. Clicking on the closest logical item: Dusk changed the Gallery Grid view and removed the Dramatic Sunset item from the offerings seen in the Grid.
Additionally, when clicking on the Dramatic Sunset name (created by willmurph) above that cell, another widow opens with information about that effect. This new window is far too small to display the minimal text presented in the window, and trying to grab the lower right corner of the window to resize it such that it's full display appears within its borders (i.e. there are no longer any horizontal nor vertical thumbs to slide to scroll within that window), results in the window closing and having to redo the effort. Once the window is expanded sufficiently, SPE does not remember the new dimensions. Re-opening the same window or another for a different Effect cell item in the Gallery requires resizing the window again.
