Getting to grips with Adobe Elements

By David Peters

Photoshop Elements doesn't have a single interface, being able to launch the program in various modes. The mode an Elements user chooses would depend on whether you needed to organise photos, full edit mode, quick fix, or great trick is to produce your own photo books.

If you are lucky enough to have the Photoshop Elements 6 version you would have seen some extra really awesome features such as email, burning to CD or DVD, plus a real bonus is that the uncluttered interface. This certainly makes life a lot easier when you need to move round the screen.

Quick Fix Guide Mode: The quick mode enables you to make very basic alterations to your images as you can alter the following; Lighting, colour, sharpen, and you also have the options to do a smart fix. Elements also gives you an auto fix button which can be found on the right hand side. Another way to access the adjustments buttons is through the Enhance menu.

Auto fixing is a real help if you're a complete novice at image editing and if you're after a quick fix to your image. Here are six great short tools and features.

1) You can just hit the "Reset Button" on the after picture, if you don't like the results of your editing changes. 2) In order to see the before and after images you will discover a drop down button saying "View" in the lower left hand side, . 3) The tool box is found on the left hand side of the screen. 4) You will enjoy the function that allows you to zoom into your photo and the zoom button is found in the lower left hand side. 5) On the right hand side of the program screen you will meet some magical time saving auto tab buttons. 6) Sliders are incorporated into the quick mode feature which will help with the management of your edits.

Full Edit Mode: The full edit mode gives you everything you need to alter any of your images. You'll find that most of the tools and commands are found in the palettes.

With the introduction of Palettes you are able to manage your layers and apply wicked effects to your photos. The layers and effects palette are always displayed automatically when you open up Elements. The windows menu will give you more editing features and is found at the top of the screen. The palettes have a floating effect, so you can position them wherever you like on the screen.
