Product Description

Product Description
Photoshop Elements is Adobe's image-editing software. It provides the tools for creating professional-quality digital images for print and the Web. This text covers frequently encountered problems in working with digital imaging. Topics include: improving portraits, landscapes, real estate, and product shots; creating panoramas; working with type; and making the best prints. The CD includes a 30-day trial version of Photoshop Elements, plus digital imaging tools and utilities.

From the Author
Dear Readers: please note that I’ve placed an additional 44 digital images from the book on the publisher’s web site for you to download. These, along with the other digital images found on the book’s CD, are meant for your personal use and experimentation.

Also, please know that I wrote Photoshop Elements Solutions with a very specific goal in mind: to create a practical book full of solutions to real-world problems associated with using digital images. As I organized and collected dozens and dozens of examples, I imagined a wide range of professionals and serious amateurs who used digital images to sell a product, illustrate a presentation, make a great-looking portrait, or share digital images via email or through the web. I even imagined professional photographers finding much of the information useful. Many professionals photographers are intimated by the complexity of the full version of Photoshop and will welcome the user-friendly aspects of Photoshop Elements and see it as a way to "ramp-up" to the full version when and if they find the need.

Nearly ten years ago I wrote a book titled Digital Photography. The book was dedicated in part to the great photographer, Ansel Adams, who introduced me to digital photography. In the book I wrote that the future of digital photography is now: "The new technology would enable people to make photographic expressions for their own amusement, for the enjoyment of others, or for professional gain." Well, I was a little ahead of myself. Photoshop had to evolve, and so did digital cameras and scanners. Now, with the introduction of Photoshop Elements and affordable digital cameras and scanners, that time I anticipated ten years ago is here. I've really enjoyed writing this book, especially since I can truly say: "The future is now."

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly inspirational title, 20 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Having used Photoshop Elements for some time in a teaching role (Photoshop 6 is my package of choice) I was interested to see if a title on Elements would inspire or might simply go over very basic ground. I'm pleased to report that it does both but with the emphasis very much on producing good images. An these images are not simply a matter of applying a 'quick fix' but are seriously constructed projects. That is not to say that they are difficult. Follow the examples here and I will assure you that you too will be creating imagery to be proud of. Though this book contains a time-limited trial copy of Elements I would suggest that users of other image-editing applications will enjoy and be inspired too. The detail of the methods might be different if you use Photo-Paint or Paintshop Pro, but the results should not be inferior. If you buy only one book - as they say - make it this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars takes the new user straight to professional levels, 9 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This book is very readable without being patronizing.
It bridges the gap between what the tools and processes do and how to use them effectively.
Some of the book's images do not demonstrate the improvements made as well as might be expected, but the author really "knows his stuff" and gives clear explanations which the reader can easily follow or adapt.
Essential reading and reference book for users of Photoshop Elements.

3.0 out of 5 stars First impressions are Misleading, 3 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Don't get me wrong, this was an excellent book to get me started. I was just getting into the swing of things and looking forward to using the actual examples in the book on the images contained in the cd.

Oops.. most of those images aren't included - just a couple per chapter.

What a disappointment as the examples in the text were what I had bought the book for.

Bottom line - excellent to get you started but don't think the cd contains the images so you can practice on them. If it had, I'd have rated *****
