Millions of people own digital cameras, yet most of us just store
our digital photos on a hard drive or email them to friends. But
what if you want to get a little more creative with your images?
Armed with little more than a copy of Photoshop Elements, a
computer, an inkjet printer, and a handful of basic tools, you can
transform your digital photos into beautiful, custom-made crafts.
Written by designer and Photoshop guru Elizabeth Bulger,
The Adobe Photoshop Elements Crafts Book will motivate you
to get creative with your own images while learning basic Photoshop
Elements skills along the way. Each project begins with a list of
the tools and materials you’ll need to get started. From
there, full-color photographs, clear instructions, and numbered
steps walk you through every step of the project. You’ll
learn how to create unique crafts out of a variety of materials,
including paper, ceramic, metal, glass, fabric, and polymer clay.
Whether you’re a longtime D.I.Y. devotee or completely new to
crafting, this book will show you everything you need to create
attractive, unique keepsakes for you or your family and friends to
cherish.
