About the Book

Are you a visual learner? Do you prefer instructions that show you how to do something - and skip the long - winded explanations? If so, then this book is for you. Open it up and you'll find clear, step-by-step screen shots that show you how to tackle scores of Photoshop Elements 2 tasks, from importing digital camera photos and sizing images to repairing photo damage, using filters, and creating a Web photo gallery. "If I need to learn anything, I just buy one of your books. Wonders! I have even trained my friends to give me Visual books as gifts." - Illona Bergstrom (Aventura, FL). "You all are creating a wonderful learning environment. Keep it up!" - Percy Khambatta (Bukit Panjang, Singapore). "Teach Yourself" sidebars offer practical tips and tricks; full-color screen shots demonstrating each task; succinct explanations, which walk you through step by step; and two-page lessons breaking big topics into bite-sized modules.
