Photoshop Elements Unleashed

For next course on Photoshop Elements held at UWA Extension, plick HERE

Adobe Photoshop Elements is probably the most popular entry level image enhancing and editing software today. Often referred to as ‘Photoshop Junior’, it contains many of the essential ‘elements’ of Photoshop, hence its name. Although Photoshop has many additional features and is regarded as the industry standard for imaging professionals, Elements is a powerful editing and creative program in its own right. For enthusiasts who want to have some fun with the option of getting more serious about their digital photography with Photoshop later, they will find the whole family can accomplish excellent image creating and editing tasks.

This semiar will provide practical guidance in the essential Photoshop Elements skills and techniques to enable you to create, manage and enhance digital files.
