Photoshop Elements 3: The Missing Manual by Barbara Brundage This errata page lists errors outstanding in the most recent printing. If you have technical questions or error reports, you can send them to booktech@oreilly.com. Please specify the printing date of your copy. This page was updated January 31, 2006. Here's a key to the markup: [page-number]: serious technical mistake {page-number}: minor technical mistake : important language/formatting problem (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification Confirmed errors: (xxi), 1st complete paragraph; Text currently says: You'll also find tutorials throughout the book that refer to files you can download from the Missing Manual Web site (www.missingmanuals.com) so you can practice the techniques you're reading about. Text should now say: You'll also find tutorials throughout the book so you can practice the techniques you're reading about. (xxiii-xxiv) bottom of page xxiii to top of page xxiv; Text currently says: If you head on over to the Missing Manual Web site (www.missingmanuals.com) you can find links to every piece of software mentioned in this book, as well as downloadable images for the tutorials, if you want to practice without using your own photos. (Or maybe you never take pictures that need correcting?) A word about the image files for the tutorials: to make life easier for folks with dial-up Internet connections, the file sizes have been kept pretty small. This means you probably won't want to print the results of what you create (since you'll end up with a print about the size of a match book). But that doesn't really matter since the files are really meant for onscreen use. At the Web site, you can also find articles, tips, and updates to the book. If you click the Errata link, you'll see any corrections to the book's content, too. If you find something, feel free to report it by using this link. Each time the book is printed, we'll update it with any confirmed corrections. If you want to be certain that your own copy is up to the minute, this is where to check for any changes. And thanks for reporting any errors or corrections.
