Confirmed errors:


(74)  callout label in Figure 3-20;
In the label below the 3rd image on the right, where it says: "Unsampled back to..."
it should say "Upsampled back to..."



(122)  First paragraph, step 2;
Step 2 now reads: Go to Selection-> Inverse.

Should read: Go to Select-> Inverse.


(123)  siderbar, first bullet point;
The first list bullet reads: Smoothing (Selection->Smooth) is...
Should read: Smoothing (Select->Modify->Smooth) is...


{130}  Figure 5-17;
The icon for the "add to selection tool" should be the brush with the dotted circle
and the icon for the "remove from selection tool" should be the grayed out eraser with
the dotted circle
that is the icons for these two tools should be inverted vertically



{134}  Note at bottom of page;
Delete the Note at the bottom of the page, which references the "Harness the Power of
Layers' tutorial. Adobe decided not to include this tutorial in the retail version of Elements 4.



{406}  before last paragraph;
This should be added as a Note after the second to last paragraph:

NOTE: Technically, you <ital>can</ital> create a PDF with audio and
transitions using Elements Custom Slide Show tool. But in order to view it,
you need Adobe Reader 6.0 or later with the Windows Media Plug-in. Alas, the
Windows Media Plug-in is for Windows only, so you're still creating a file
that not everyone (Mac owners, for instance) can view.



{412} note at bottom of page;
the path to the clip part is wrong, it should be:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\4.0\Graphics
