Photoshop Elements tutorials

Adobe Photoshop Elements is the consumer version of the Adobe Photoshop raster image editing product, sold at a fraction (roughly 1/6th) of the cost of the professional product or bundled with related hardware such as scanners and digital cameras. Originally introduced alongside Photoshop version 7, Photoshop Elements targets photography enthusiasts and thus lacks many features that make it useful in a proper print production environment. For example, Photoshop Elements cannot export files in the CMYK color mode, supports a simplified color management system, and excludes detailed soft-proofing. It also either eliminates completely or offers simplified versions of some of the more powerful plug-ins, along with a number of features aimed at non-experts.

Translation between Photoshop 6 and Photoshop Elements

Translation between Photoshop 6 and Photoshop Elements

Many of the tutorials in my Photoshop section should work for Elements users. Listed below are ones that I believe should be fun, and instructive. However, quite a few of the menu commands in Photoshop are in different locations from those in Elements. I have a page that will tell you where the comparable commands can be found in the two programs. I recommend that you go to this page, and copy the data into a Wordpad document that you can keep at hand when you try the Photoshop tutorials, or read any Photoshop books.
