I also couldn't resist buying this publication. I probably won't be adept enough to apply some of these features for a while, but I didn't think it would hurt to dream a little. And it comes with it's own tutorial disk.
But the big coup is finding this excellent book at Borders. It guides you visually, step by step, through each feature in Photoshop. I know that I am definitely a visual learner, so this should be just the help I need.
So... can you guess what I am going to be doing this weekend? If any of you have any tips, opinions, or suggestions on using Photoshop Elements you would like to share that would be great!
How exciting Adrienne! Your going to have lots of fun...you just have to learn by doing :)

Looks great! Can't wait to see your new photos - Great find on the books!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend,

Wow! Great minds think alike, my friend. And to think we share the same name and think alike! Incredible. My sweetheart is headed to work for a few hours with instructions to stop at Costco afterwards to buy Photoshop Elements 9 for me! I think it will be a good 'recovery' project since I have time I don't usually have to study and play and learn. I can't wait to see what you do with your photos.

I got photoshop about two months ago and love it - but I am learning by trial and error. Thanks for the tip on the book, I think I need to buy that, going through the tutorials on line and trying to find exactly what I want is just too time consuming and frustrating. You will love photoshop!
ReplyDeleteI have a great suggestion. You learn all about PS and then you can teach us. I have "Photoshop Elements 6 - The Missing Manual" which is supposed to be very good. It probably is, if I'd use it - heh...
ReplyDeleteI love the "Teach Yourself Visually" series of books! Think I may transition to Photoshop Elements 9 - perhaps this summer! My summer learning??
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun, Adrienne. Can't wait to see some of your creative photos!
ReplyDeleteCara adrienne, aspetto con ansia di vedere le tue prossime foto....sarà un successone ,ne sono più che sicura Un bacio Ornella
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Adrienne! I know you will love Elements and create many beautiful images. The book will be very beneficial, I'm sure, and there are plenty of online video tutorials. Good luck! – g
ReplyDeleteI can't help with Photoshop, I haven't progressed beyond Piknik, but I wanted to thank you for your visit to my blog, which in turn led me back to yours, which I love so much I'm joining as a follower. (That was a very long sentence! Whew!) I loved the photo of your chandelier a few posts back. It is a very rainy day here in Cape Town, and your beautiful photo has inspired me so much that I'm going to spend the moring playing around with some of mine. Have a lovely day. x Sharon
ReplyDeleteOh, you are going to have so much fun with this. It will open up a whole new level of creativity for you. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to let us know if the "Teach Yourself Visually" book is as good as it is purported to be. I'm in desperate need of SOMETHING that will teach me all the how-tos for Photoshop.
