Lesson 1: Introduction to Photoshop Elements

If you're a photography enthusiast or have the need to edit photos or graphics, then you'll absolutely love Photoshop Elements. This software program is simply a condensed version of the well-known software program Photoshop.

Lesson 2: The Organizer Environment

In this lesson, we're going to discuss the features and options associated with the Organizer environment. Let's start by opening Element and clicking on Organizer on the Welcome Screen.

Lesson 3: Edit Modes

Elements is a neat software program because it has different interfaces (or environments) for all of its features.In this lesson and over the next few, we're going to learn about the Edit environment.

Lesson 4: The Basics of Color

There are two color models in Elements that allow you to set color for your images. The first model is based on the way that the human eye sees color. Using this model, you can adjust the colors for hue, saturation, and brightness or HSB.

Lesson 5: Painting Tools

Elements provides several tools to apply and add color. The Paint tools are just an example of these. Paint allows you to add color using brushes, just like you would with a real paint brush.

Lesson 6: Making Selections

When you make a selection, you select part of an image. You can select parts of an image to cut it out, copy it, smooth the edges, anti-alias, and several other options.

Lesson 7: Filling and Stroking

In this lesson, we're going to learn how to do fillings as well as the different types of fills that you can apply to your images.

Lesson 8: Layers

If you've never worked with any type of a photo editing program before or have very little experience, the subject of layers may just make you cringe.

Lesson 9: Text

Using Elements, you can also add text to images. This can be fun if you want to be a little creative or even if you need to add text to explain an image.

Lesson 10: Create Shapes

Using Elements, you can draw shapes in your images. Shapes are vector graphics. They are comprised of lines and curves, and they are known by their geometric characteristics instead of by pixels.

Lesson 11: Sponge Tool

The Sponge tool is used to bring out or mute the color of an object or an area of an image by saturating or desaturating it.

Lesson 12: Lighting, Color, Contrast and Clarity

This lesson is going to focus on adjusting the lighting, color, contrast, and clarity in your photos. If you're a hobbyist photographer, you'll really benefit from everything we discuss, so sit back and get ready.

Lesson 13: Printing, Sharing, and Creating

When you're finished organizing and editing your images, you may want to print them out.You can print images from any environment in the Elements software program. For this lesson, we're going to print from the Organizer environment.
