Anyone still think that Adobe Photoshop Elements is a toy version
of the real thing? As the most popular photo-editing program on the
market, Photoshop Elements not only has Photoshop's marvellous
powers, but also has capabilities the mothership lacks. Each new
version includes more tools designed specifically for today's
consumer digital photo enthusiasts. The latest edition, Photoshop
Elements 5, solidifies the reputation of this superb and
inexpensive product with new scrapbook features, a link to online
photo services, and many other improvements. In fact, there's so
much to Photoshop Elements that it can be quite confusing at times.
That's precisely why our "Missing Manuals" are the best-selling
books on the topic. Adobe provides a pamphlet and some help files;
our book, now in its fifth edition, carefully explains every
feature the program has to offer (something no other book has done)
by putting each one into a clear, easy-to-understand context.
"Photoshop Elements 5: The Missing Manual" covers the Windows
version of Adobe's workhorse and gives you the low down on a host
of new features: learn to create multiple page documents, custom
photo layouts with frames, and highly customized layouts for
scrapbook projects; master the new editor for Layer Styles, which
lets you customize individual layers in a photo; and "Attach" your
photos to areas of a Yahoo! Map so your friends and family can see
the pictures you took in specific places. Author Barbara Brundage
also introduces you to a new sophisticated tool called "Curves" to
adjust the color and contrast in your photos, and shows you how to
burn multi-session CDs and DVDs. As always, she lets you know which
features work well, which don't, and why - all with a bit of wit
and good humor. Although the book progresses from simple to complex
tasks, you can easily jump around to learn specific techniques,
such as creating photomontages (composites), restoring old photos,
preparing images for the Web, and archiving. More than a dozen
downloadable images let you practice using the editing tools right
away!
