With the new edition of this bestselling book, you'll learn everything from the basics of loading photos into Elements to the new online photo-sharing and storage service that Adobe's offering (for free!) at Photoshop.com. There's so much to Elements 7 that knowing what to do--and when to do it--is tricky. That's why this book carefully explains all the tools and options by putting each one into a clear, easy-to-understand context.
Author Barbara Brundage explains, "The biggest [change] is Photoshop.com, which lets you upload your photos right from the organizer, create really swell web slideshows with them, back them up online, and even synchronize your albums between your home computer and your Photoshop.com account...My personal favorite is the actions player. I love how much actions increase what Elements can do, and now it's so easy to install and run them."
With the help of this book, which covers Elements 7 for Windows, you will:
- Get crystal-clear and jargon-free explanations of every feature
- Learn to import, organize, and fix photos quickly and easily
- Repair and restore old and damaged photos, and retouch any image

- Create collages and photo layout pages for scrapbooks and other projects
- Fix your photos online and sync the changes to your own photo library

As always, Brundage lets you know which features work well, which don't, and why--all with a bit of wit and good humor. Dive into Adobe's outstanding photo editor and find out why this Missing Manual is the bestselling book on the topic.
