How to Cheat in Photoshop Elements 8 : Discover the Magic of Adobe's Best Kept Secret

Photoshop Elements is the cut-down, lower-price version of Adobe's powerful Photoshop software, and, like Photoshop, it's not just intended for tweaking and retouching those less than perfect photographs-it has huge creative potential, too. "How to Cheat in Photoshop Elements 8" is the Elements equivalent to Steve Caplin's "How to Cheat in Photoshop". It is a fun, quirky and inspiring guide, packed with tips, tricks and effects that reveal the power of Elements for design-oriented image manipulation and photomontage.
With more than 80 step-by-step projects on page spreads showing the before and after, and all stages in between, this is a practical guide to stir the imagination. QuickTime movie tutorials and images for all projects in the book are included on the accompanying CD-ROM, with additional support and an active reader forum on the website for the book. This book is fun and creative, with more than 80 full color, step-by-step projects, supported by QuickTime movie tutorials and image files.
It includes in-depth coverage of photomontage and image manipulation not seen elsewhere. Most Elements books focus on the essentials for photography post-capture editing. It is part of the successful "Focal Press How to Cheat in Series", featuring Steve Caplin's best-selling "How to Cheat in Photoshop" titles.
