Introduction
NOTE This book periodically recommends other books, covering topics that are too specialized
or tangential for a manual about Elements. Careful readers may notice that not every one of these
titles is published by Missing Manual parent, O’Reilly Media. While we’re happy to mention other
Missing Manuals and books in the O’Reilly family, if there’s a great book out there that doesn’t
happen to be published by O’Reilly, we’ll still let you know about it.
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 prac-
tice the techniques you’re reading about. And throughout the book, you’ll find
several different kinds of sidebar articles. The ones labeled “Up to Speed” help
newcomers to Elements do things or explain concepts that veterans are probably
already familiar with. “Power Users’ Clinic” covers more advanced topics that
won’t be of much interest to casual photographers.
NOTE You’ll see illustrations of Windows XP in this book. By the time you’re reading this, you
may be using Windows Vista, the next version of the Windows operating system. Elements 5 will
most likely work just fine in Vista, but it’s worth taking a quick look at one of the many Internet
forums devoted to Elements (page 478) before you buy the program, just to be on the safe side.
