Photoshop Elements Tutorials and QuickTips

Howdy! Welcome to my Photoshop Elements tutorials. My two Elements video training titles are listed first, though to see written tutorials, you need to scroll down a little ways ;)

Elements 8 for Digital Photographers

I just love Photoshop Elements so when my friends at KelbyTraining.com asked me to do a new training title specifically for digital photographers, I leapt at the chance. It's an amazingly powerful program at an equally amazing price. In my 26-movie course, you'll be editing like a pro in no time flat! Click here to see the table of contents for "Photoshop Elements 8 for Photographers."

While you're there, be sure to check out "Practical Photoshop Elements" (released late July 2008). It features 23, short QuickTime movies on some of the most practical techniques you could ever learn like partial color, rounded photo edges, colorizing grayscales, color tints, the truth about resolution (a funny little movie called Brown sugar featuring me in a chef's getup!), and much more. Enjoy!

Most recent Elements tutorials are listed first. Enjoy!
