Adobe Videos Photo Fun by Corey Barker  Color Changing Toolsby Corey Barker Useful ReferencesHere are books and other reference material that I can recommend. I am unable to buy and review everything that is published so I want to encourage you to add your recommendations in the comments at the bottom of the page. Photo Elements #, The Missing Manual Barbara Brundage Pogue Press, O'Reilly Published yearly for the current Elements edition Elements Techniques Various authers Published monthly by Adobe at a subscription price of $50 per year or $75 for 2 years How to Cheat in Photoshop Elements 6 David Asch and Steve Caplin Focal Press Elsevier Published 2008 Useful Other SoftwareHere is some software that I have found that have features and capabilities not found in PhotoShop Elements. I will be glad to add any to the list you also find helpful. Charlie The Printshop This software has a number of preprogramed projects that you can quickly setup without a lot of work. It doesn't have the editing or creativity capability that Elements has but you can quickly produce any number of projects from business cards to calendars. I use the calendar because it allows me to set up one for a whole year that I can't do in Elements. Professor Franklin's Instant Photo Effects I like this software for its large collection of frames and edge treatments. Both Elements and Printshop have a very limited collection of these thereby not giving you a lot of variety in any project. You can also save the images in gif or png formats to preserve any transparency. The Panorama Factory I got into making panoramas with my first digital camera. I found that the Panorama Factory does a very nice job of stitching together multiple pictures, blending the seams and cropping the final picture. Better, I think than the Elements panorama function. You, of course, must take your pictures very carefully to allow the software to do its work. All of mine have been produced with a hand held camera so you don't need a tripod. | How To PagesPrintable pages of hard to find information and techniques Keyboard ShortcutsListed below are printable pages that show as much of the keyboard shortcuts and mouse / keyboard operations that I have been able to find.
