Using ps elements 9

[glider64]

I have Photoshop elements 9 and would like to use it on my photos, so far so good but what do you guys/girls do with your photos? what i mean by that is what things do you do to each shot, i just sharpen them and some times change colour saturation and light but are there other things that could improve my images that aren`t obvious to a beginer like me? many thanks Harvey

Have a look on You Tube for Photoshop Elements 9 as there are a "shed load" of videos.
Also go to the Adobe site and have a look at some of the training videos.
Go to the Scott Kelby website

As mickledore said...have a look at the Scott Kelby books

Your head will explode with the new found knowledge...guaranteed

Re: Using ps elements 9

Scott Kelby books are more generic but very very good as he will tell you what Photoshop Elements is capable of doing. You need an idea of what is possible then a book/video of how to do it.
If it is a book on Elements 9 then do a search on Amazon as there will be more books than in the National Library.

Apart from the standard levels, curves, saturation, sharpening and maybe a bit of cloning, you need to learn how to do selections to make new layers. That opens up the magic of Photoshop, whether it be Elements, or the full version.

In the absence of a friend that can show you the ropes, any book by Scott Kelby, or Deke McClelland will get you going. They are easy to read and understand and for any specific questions, plenty of experts on here to help out.

The Missing Manual is usually good.
