Photoshop Elements 4 in easy steps puts the fun into working with digital images and covers everything you can do once you've captured the images.
Editing digital images is at the heart of Adobe Photoshop Elements
4 and this book covers this in depth. Starting with the Elements 4 interface, it looks at obtaining images, color enhancements and techniques such as cloning, cropping and removing flaws and blemishes. There are also sections on quick fixes and advanced features, including making selections, using layers and adding text.
With more and more digital images in circulation, organizing them is becoming a bigger issue. The book details how Elements 4 deals with this, through the use of tags, collections and viewing images chronologically.
Sharing digital images is becoming a common part of daily life and the book covers numerous creative options for doing this: dynamic slideshows, themed photo emails, Web photo galleries and printing options.
