From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewPhotoshop Elements, already powerful, gets even better with Version 3.0: It’s easier to organize and share your images, remove “digital noise,” and fix all manner of image problems. With a little help from David Huss, even rank amateurs can use it to work magic on their digital images.
Huss offers soup-to-nuts coverage of resurrecting damaged or lifeless photos, then managing and sharing them. You’ll find entire chapters on image scanning and repair (you’ll be amazed at how much QuickFix can do now); fine-tuning lighting and color; and creating panoramas -- one of Huss’s favorite topics. From fixing weird color casts to smarter cropping to adding text and comic-style “thought balloons,” Huss shows you how. Don’t have enough defective images of your own? Download his practice files, and tweak away. Bill Camarda
