Photoshop Elements 7 for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide

by Jeff Carlson (Author) 

Photoshop Elements is geared for business users, students, educators, and home users who want professional-looking images for their print and Web projects, but don't want or need the advanced power of Adobe Photoshop. With Photoshop Elements 7 for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide, readers can start with a tour of the interface and image-editing basics, or they can look up specific tasks to learn just what they need to know. This task-based, visual reference guide uses step-by-step instructions and plenty of screenshots to show readers how to capture and import photos, reduce red eye, enhance color, work with layers, and much more. New features coverage includes: applying direct effects with the Adobe Smart Brush, softening surfaces and keeping edges crisp with a new filter, and finding photos easily with keywords. Both beginning and intermediate users will find everything they need here--in straightforward language and with readily accessible examples.

Training: As a website development company engaged in helping clients learn how to manintain their own website content, we are especially excited about this book. It includes instructions on everything you'll need to know to make your photos and images Web-ready, including cropping (by specificfying the target height and width of the resulting image in pixels - the dimension used in Web images), sharpening and optimizing images in order to maintain the integrity of their website.

We use this book in our online education series. If you're planning on attending one of our virtual training session on Adobe Photoshop Elements it will be very helpful for you to have this book on hand and to refer back to it when you have questions.
