From the Author
I've spent several months thoroughly updating my book to reflect the changes in Photoshop Elements 3. In addition to carefully re-working old procedures, I've added over 20 new step-by-step tutorials that take advantage of completely new features, filters, and tools such as the amazing Healing Brush. I've also written an entirely new chapter titled "Advanced Digital Photography Techniques" that delves deeply into the world of RAW data and the Photoshop Elements Camera Raw plug-in. The chapter includes a novel procedure using Photomerge to extend the exposure latitude of digital cameras along with a great technique for turning an ordinary photo into a dramatic drawing.
The book also includes extensive material on Photoshop Elements 3's new Organizer-a feature available only to Windows users. The Organizer is a morphed version of Photoshop Album, previously a stand-alone image management program. Integrating the two programs was a challenge, and Adobe pulled it off beautifully (Mac users get the benefit of an improved File Browser-and a lower retail price for the program.)
It's my hope that anyone using Photoshop Elements 3 who wishes to get more from his or her digital images will greatly benefit from my book. As always, I welcome reader feedback, so feel free to send me your questions and comments at the email address included in the book. I'll try and get right back to you. Enjoy!
