GET STARTED FAST IN PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS
I
t’s likely that most of your photos will require a
few post-production tweaks in Photoshop
Elements to look their best, much as a traditional
roll of film requires processing in a darkroom to
get the most from the negatives. There are many reasons
your shots may not turn out quite the way you hoped.
Cameras struggle to reveal detail in contrasting lighting
conditions, so some areas in a scene will be over- or under-
exposed. Cameras also struggle to balance the colour
temperatures produced by different lighting conditions, so
your shots may suffer from warm orange or cold blue colour
casts. You may not have composed our shots in the right way,
or failed to spot a distracting object at the edge of the frame.Photoshop Elements is packed with image-editing tools that
are designed to help you tweak each photograph’s colour,
tone and composition. We’ll explore these photo-fixing
tools in more detail throughout this book, but we’ll kick off
by looking at some of the quick methods you can use to fix
photographs using the Organizer.
Adobe recognises that you might prefer to spend more
time shooting and less time editing, so it’s placed the most
useful and common photo-fixing tools in the Organizer. This
handy Photo Fix Options panel means that you can overcome
typical photo problems without needing to delve more deeply
into other editing modes such as Expert, Quick or Guided.
