Photoshop Elements 8 Beyond the Basics: On the High Seas
For Mac and Windows
IMPORTANT! This is an intermediate course and follows Photoshop Elements 8: Setting Sail and Photoshop Elements 8 Part 2: Clear Sailing. You must take the previous courses before taking this one because the exercises and subject matter in this course rely on knowledge taught in the previous classes.
This class is a continuation of the basics classes and will cover more advanced aspects of working with Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac and PC. This course includes adding third party filters, using and installing actions, and using and installing layer styles. It also covers working with custom color swatches, color tables, replacing skies, working with patterns and much more! Join me to extend youe knowledge of Elements and see how far you can sail!
This class does not cover the Organizer. Because of the scope of the Organizer and the fact it is as feature-packed as a separate program, it has its own classes, and is it not included in the Mac version of Elements. The organizing aspects of the Organizer is covered in a separate class, Photoshop Elements: Using the Organizer.
