 O’Reilly - The Missing Manual
With most of the power of Photoshop - the tool of choice among graphics professionals - it lets people manipulate their digital images just as they like. But even though Elements is meant for “regular folks,” says Brundage, “finding your way around the program has become a lot more complicated than it used to be.” And since it doesn’t come with a trusty manual, she wrote the all-new, full-color “Photoshop Elements 3: The Missing Manual” of O’Reilly.
Elements 3 - Dive right in and play
“The very best way to learn Elements is just to dive right in and play with it,” assures Brundage. She helps readers do that by avoiding unnecessary technical jargon and delivering straightforward guidance and instruction on everything Elements users need to know. She clearly explains why and when someone would want to use or avoid certain features of the program and delivers tutorials throughout the book with downloadable files for practicing.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 “The Missing Manual” : O'Reilly announced “The Missing Manual” for Adobe Photoshop Elements 3. Even Grandma wields a digital camera these days. Everyone appreciates the instant gratification, the email-ready photos, and the end to overstuffed shoeboxes. But people are also realizing something else, says author Barbara Brundage: “The image-editing and picture-organizing software that comes with most cameras can be pretty limited when it’s time to spruce up your digital photos. Even if you’re scanning in old prints and slides, you’ll want a program that’ll help you rejuvenate these gems and eliminate the wear and tear of all those years.” That’s where Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 comes in!
