Book Description
With Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide,
readers can start with a tour of the interface and image-editing
basics, or they can look up specific tasks to learn just what they
need to know. This task-based, visual reference guide uses
step-by-step instructions and plenty of screenshots to show readers
how to capture and import photos, reduce red eye, enhance color,
work with layers, and much more. Coverage includes: applying direct
effects with the Adobe Smart Brush, softening surfaces and keeping
edges crisp with a new filter, and finding photos easily with
keywords.
Both beginning and intermediate users will find everything they
need here--in straightforward language and with readily accessible
examples.
