Photoshop Elements 2 Hands-on Training


by Shane Rebenschied

You've got the computer, the scanner, the digital camera. You've even got Photoshop Elements, the consumer cousin of Adobe's powerful image-editing software. No you're ready to start having fun--the only problem is, you don't have any experience working with digital images. Not to worry: Photoshop Elements 2 Hands-On Training shows you how to use Photoshop Elements to manipulate all of those images you've captured and turn them into real-life projects. In the process of creating a greeting card, newsletter, or any of the other fun, practical projects included in these pages, you'll learn how to use Photoshop Elements for painting and drawing, color correction, image retouching, creating photo-illustrations, and more. Step-by-step, project-based instruction makes learning a snap; full-color graphics inspire; and QuickTime movies (on the accompanying CD) make more complicated aspects of the program readily accessible. If you're ready to start creating and editing digital images, you're ready for this book!
