Master Adobe's friendliest tool for editing photos and making digital artwork, Photoshop Elements 2022, quickly and easily with step-by-step tutorials and full color images.

Welcome to Photoshop Elements, the powerful, easy-to-use, image-editing software from Adobe. Photoshop Elements gives hobbyists, photographers, and artists many of the same tools and features found in Adobe Photoshop (long the industry standard), but packaged in a more accessible, intuitive workspace. Photoshop Elements makes it easy to retouch your digital photos; apply special effects, filters, and styles; create wide-screen pano­ramas from a series of individual photos; replace bland skies; and more. It also includes several features geared specifically to the beginning user. Of particular note are the Quick and Guided photo-editing controls that make complex image corrections easy to apply.

Here, I’ll cover some of the key features of Photoshop Elements and share some thoughts to help you get the most from this book. Then you can be on your way to mastering the simple, fun, and sophisticated image-editing tools in Photoshop Elements.

This Visual QuickStart Guide, like others in the series, is a task-based reference. Each chapter focuses on a specific area of the application and presents it in a series of concise, illustrated steps. I encourage you to follow along using your own images. This book is meant to be a reference work, and although it’s not expected that you’ll read through it in sequence from front to back, I’ve made an attempt to order the chapters in a logical fashion.

The first chapter speeds through five steps to import, edit, and share your digital photos. The next chapter takes you on a tour of the work area to make sure we’re all on the same page. From there you dive into importing pictures and managing your photo library using the Organizer. Then you explore cropping and straightening, get introduced to Quick and Guided edits, and move on to making selections, working with layers, adjusting lighting and color, working with raw images, fixing and retouching, applying effects, painting and drawing, and adding text. Next, learn a variety of techniques for saving, printing, and sharing images.

This book is suitable for the beginner just starting in digital photography and image creation, as well as hobbyists, photo enthusiasts, intermediate-level photographers, illustrators, and designers.

Concise steps and explanations guide you through the foundations of using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022, getting you up and running in no time. Adobe Photoshop Elements has many of the same features as its older brother but with a simpler, streamlined interface designed for both the casual photographer and the serious hobbyist.
