From the Author
Dear Readers: please note that Ive placed an additional 44 digital images from the book on the publishers web site for you to download. These, along with the other digital images found on the books 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."
