If You Have a Mac
This book covers Elements 6 for Windows. However, if and when Adobe releases Elements 6 for Mac, you can use this book with the Mac version, as well. Just substitute ⌘ for Ctrl, and Option for Alt whenever you see keyboard shortcuts. About 98 percent of the Editor's functions work the same on both platforms. However, this book's sections on the Organizer apply only to Windows; Mac versions of Elements don't include the Organizer since Adobe assumes most Mac owners use a program like iPhoto or Aperture to store their pictures. (See page xx for more on the difference between the Editor and the Organizer.)
If you have a Mac with an Intel processor and you don't want to wait for the Mac version of Elements 6, the Windows version works well in Apple's Bootcamp software or in the Parallels (www.parallels.com) or Fusion (www.vmware.com) virtualization programs. Of course, to use any of these programs you have to install Windows on your Mac.
