About This Book

This book is an effort to provide the most comprehensive view of a wildly feature-rich program as we can. Additionally, this book is written for a cross-platform audience. If you’re a Mac user, you’ll find all you need to work in Elements 2024 for the Mac, exactly the same as when we refer to using Elements on Windows.

Photoshop Elements 2024 gives you a new Guided Edit, Add Text, which you can find in the Basics category. To discover how to use Guided Edits, take a look at Chapters 3 and 19.

The big change in Elements 2024 is a completely new look in the user interface. You can change your interface to a light or dark theme. You make this change in the Photo Editor Preferences General panel by choosing the options from a drop-down menu. After choosing Light or Dark, you must quit and relaunch the Photo Editor. Take a look at Chapter 1 to see how you can switch back and forth between the themes.

Another new feature in Elements 2024 is the ability to set one-click operation for changing appearances in items such as Subject, Background, or Sky. For more information, see Chapter 19.
