ARE YOU READY FOR AN ELEMENTS BOOK THAT BREAKS ALL THE RULES?This book breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers thats never been done before-it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly how to do it. Its not a bunch of theory; it doesnt challenge you to come up with your own settings or figure things out on your own. Instead, it does something that virtually no other Elements book has ever done-it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why.If youre looking for one of those tell-me-everything-about-the-Unsharp-Mask-filter books, this isnt it. You can grab any other Elements book on the shelf, because they all do that. Instead, this book gives you the inside tips and tricks of the trade for organizing, correcting, editing, sharpening, retouching, and printing your photos like a pro. Youll be absolutely amazed at how easy and effective these techniques are-once you know the secrets.LEARN HOW THE PROS DO ITEach year Scott trains thousands of digital photographers and, almost without exception, they have the same questions and face the same problems-thats exactly what he covers in this book. Youll learn: How to unlock the power of layers (youll be amazed at how easy it is!) How to use Camera Raw for processing not only RAW photos, but JPEGs, TIFFs, and PSDs too! (And youll learn why so many pros like it best-because its faster and easier) The sharpening techniques the pros really use (theres an entire chapter just on this!) How to deal with common digital camera image problems, including brightening people in dark shadows and getting the best color possible The most requested photographic special effects, and much more! THE BOOKS SECRET WEAPONAlthough Elements 2020 offers some digital photography features that Photoshop doesnt offer, there are plenty of features that Photoshop has that Elements 2020 doesnt (like channels, HDR, etc.). But in this book, youll learn some slick workarounds, cheats, and fairly ingenious ways to replicate many of those Photoshop features right within Elements. Plus, you can download many of the images used in the book, so you can follow right along with the techniques.Since this book is designed for photographers, it doesnt waste your time talking about what a pixel is, how to frame a shot or set your exposure, etc., and theres no talk about which camera or printer to buy. Its all Elements, step by step, cover to cover, in the only book of its kind, and youre gonna love it!
