| Now in its third release Photoshop Elements has developed into a sophisticated and complete photo-editing and now,
with the new features in this release, photo-management program.
It seems that the software’s popularity grows almost as quickly as its impressive list of editing and enhancement
features. More and more digital photographers are awakening to the pure imaging power that hides beneath
the deceptively simple front end.
But rather than sitting back and basking in the refl ected glory of the success of the fi rst two editions of Elements
(versions 1.0 and 2.0), Adobe has been hard at work improving what was already a great product. Version 3.0,
just like the releases before it, is a state-of-the-art imageediting program full of the features and functions that
digital photographers and desktop image makers desire the most.
In fact, the program has become so comprehensive that producing an illustrated A–Z book like this one is not just
a nicety, but has became a necessity. The software covers so many areas that Elements users need a quick ready reference
guide to all the major tools and features. Here I provide such a guide but I don’t stop at simply describing the tool
or feature, I accompany the text with illustrations of the software in action together with before and after pictures
of the applied changes. All entries include shortcut keys, menu locations and are cross-referenced to other Elements
features that relate. Many features also include step-by-step guides to their usage and extended visual examples of the
effects of using different settings on your pictures. |
