Chapter 3 Adobe Photoshop Elements: Creating Web Graphics
| Many resources are available on the topic of using
Photoshop Elements to create images for Web pages. A good
resource is the interactive help file
packaged with Photoshop Elements. This help file covers
almost every function Photoshop Elements has to offer. The
interactive help file is accessed by clicking the question
mark button on the main menu bar. Also check out
www.adobe.com (Adobe Inc.'s home page) to stay
up-to-date on general information about Photoshop Elements.
Most of the information on the Web, however, is available at
user-run sites offering general information, examples and
tutorials. For example,
www.photoshopcafe.com has excellent in-depth tutorials,
for both Photoshop beginners and experts who want to explore
new techniques. Another site for tutorials is located at
www.planetphotoshop.com. Many Photoshop tutorials were
written for versions of Photoshop other than Elements, but
many of the main concepts carry over to the Elements
version. If looking for effects more diverse than those
included in Photoshop Elements, new filters can be
downloaded for free from sites such as
www.plugins.com/plugins/photoshop. Plug-in filters,
brushes and fonts are installed to the hard drive of the
computer under the Photoshop Elements directory.
