What better way is there to learn to use Photoshop Elements 2 than to take a complete course? This book is not only a complete course, it is an elegantly designed one.
Using one project, the creation of a set of sports cards, Jan Kabili clearly presents a well organized sequence of tutorials that you complete as you learn to use Photoshop Elements 2. Each tutorial is a clearly written step-by-step process that you follow to learn by doing. Each tells you what to do and why you are doing it, and is accompanied by further notes, tips, and further discussion of the topic when appropriate.
The author touches on the simplest, fastest way to use Photoshop Elements 2, then spends more time having you do it the best way and explaining why it is the best way.She is a well qualified instructor and author of Photoshop 7 Compete Course. She lists some of the advantages Photoshop Elements 2 had over Photoshop. Jan Kabili also has you achieve Photoshop results with Elements 2 by using adjustment layer masks, which Elements 2 has, to achieve the effects of layer masks found only in Photoshop.
