Introducing Adobe Photoshop Elements Book

Introducing Adobe Photoshop Elements is the ideal companion for scanning and digital photography novices who don't yet know their pixels from their plug-ins.Adobe Photoshop Elements is bundled with digital cameras and flatbed scanners. It's streets ahead of other image-editing applications and much simpler to use than Photoshop LE, which it replaces. Introducing Adobe Photoshop Elements tells you all the things you won't find either in your camera's or scanner's instruction book, or the Photoshop Elements help file. Things such as Installation and setup, finding your way around the work area, customising and personalising settings and the interface are all covered with even the basics looked at in-depth. Rather than simply state the minimum system requirements, you are told how to find out if your Mac or PC meets them. The difference between video memory and system memory, physical and virtual RAM, and other important concepts are also explained in simple non-technical terms.The second part of the book explains how to scan and acquire images from a digital camera and includes advice on opening, saving and printing. Part four covers colour correcting, retouching and creating basic montages and the final section moves on to more advanced techniques including animation and multiple-image panoramas.Those with a little experience of other graphics applications may find the level a little too basic. But if digital images are uncharted waters and you've just bought, or are about to buy a digital camera or scanner, you should first make sure it comes with Adobe Photoshop LE then get a copy of Introducing Adobe Photoshop Elements. --Ken McMahonRead More
