Since the publication of this book, Adobe has released a new version of Photoshop Elements (version 2). We have chosen not to upgrade our book, as it is possible to follow all of the tutorials using either the first or second version of Photoshop Elements. Here, at friends of ED, we firmly believe in the saying “If it ain't broke, dont fix it”. There are, though, some differences between the two versions of the program, so we have created a handy guide to show you how best to enjoy Digital Photography with Adobe Photoshop Elements using Photoshop Elements 2. This is viewable either online, or available as a pdf download. Digital cameras have become an essential item, with the advent of ever cheaper and ever more sophisticated models. The benefits over their celluloid-and-chemical cousins are enormous. Never again need you worry about running out of film! There will be no more anxious waits for the local developing shop to open! What's more: There's an ocean of possibility when it comes to digital image manipulation and Adobe's Photoshop Elements has become an essential tool for photographers. This full-color book provides an approachable introduction to Photoshop Elements, offering tips and insights into the vital aspects of photo manipulation. Illustrated throughout, Digital Photography with Adobe Photoshop Elements offers the clearest possible route to achieving great images with Photoshop Elements. Practical examples are shown throughout, enabling you to achieve impressive results from the outset. Whether it's just a quick retouch or a 180-degree panorama you're looking to build, Digital Photography with Photoshop Elements equips you with the required knowledge and invaluable advice from two of the most respected Photoshop designers in the business. The CD accompanying the book contains a full 30-day trial version of the Photoshop Elements software, plus the original artwork source files from the authors. With this complete package, you can work through the examples or branch out with your own Photoshop ideas!

If we were to say Marilyn to you, what would you be thinking? Monroe? Manson?
Well, you would be thinking about the most inspired use of facial imagery. Anybody in advertising will tell you that the most effective sales tool around is the face. A face can sell you anything. Any product, any idea. And the most striking faces become icons in their own right.
With Adobe Photoshop, we can see the possibilities for facial stylization explode. This book looks at how to develop an image to get it right, and how to make these mugshots genuinely memorable.
Some of the most exciting designers around have gathered to work their magic on this tightly focused canvas, working from a number of different starting points. Whether it's a perfect gloss you're after, or an abstract form of iconography, Photoshop has a collection of subtle and powerful tricks up its sleeve, and this book coaxes them into the open.
This is a full color inspirations title, aimed at showing professionals and home users alike how to access the multiplicity of techniques available in Adobe Photoshop. By using such a familiar model as the human face, the effectiveness and originality of these techniques is thrown into sharp relief.
The book employs versions of Photoshop up to the release of version 7, although the techniques shown will be compatible with previous releases of the software.
Each chapter contains multiple examples of how to treat a face in Photoshop, and an in-depth explanation of technique from the designer.
