Basic Editing with


Photoshop Elements


and iPhoto


This chapter introduces two common, easy-to-learn image editing appli-


cations for today’s new digital photographers: Adobe’s Photoshop


Elements 2 and Apple’s iPhoto. Elements is much more powerful than


iPhoto, but the latter is much better at organizing images on your com-


puter. Both are excellent programs for importing, storyboarding, organ-


izing, and printing your images.


You don’t need Photoshop to manage your images unless you plan to


make a career as a photographer, writer, Web developer, or graphic


artist. As the industry standard, Photoshop includes numerous features


that you will never need, such as offset printing and registration tools,


Web development and animated GIF tools, and color profiles and modes


such as CMYK.
