If you're like many users, you may have a digital camera, plenty of
 snapshots, and a copy of Photoshop Elements, Adobe's consumer-level image
 editing software. But as anyone who's just come back from vacation with
 hundreds of digital photos knows, getting all those photos printed and
 organized is another matter altogether. Many users find that printing photos
 on a home printer and assembling them into a traditional photo album can be
 a tedious and painstaking chore.
 
 With Adobe Photoshop Elements for Windows, all this has changed. Using this
 software, you can easily organize your digital photos into an album and then
 order a hardcover, professionally bound book printed from your album pages.
 
 Best-selling author Katherine Ulrich cuts straight to the chase in this
 compact, low-priced volume, using simple project-based instruction and big,
 colorful screen shots to guide you through the process of assembling your
 digital photos into an album using Photoshop Elements for Windows. By
 focusing on a single goal (organizing your photos into an album) rather than
 exploring every option and feature of the software, Katherine demonstrates
 the quickest, easiest, smartest route to photographic success. Each short
 builds on the last as you learn how to import photos from your
 digital camera to your PC, add captions and notes, fix image flaws, position
 your photos, create albums, choose your styles, fine-tune your layouts, and
 order your stunning book of photos online (or print your own).

 This book's friendly, colorful layout and ultra-affordable price makes it
 ideal for anyone who wants to quickly learn how to create beautiful, printed
 photo books to share with family and friends.

Katherine Ulrich Shows You How To Use Photoshop Elements 3 - 2005-04-28
Reviewer Rating:
If you are new to working with photos on your computer, this book by Katherine Ulrich is a good first project. As with all the books from the Visual QuickProject Guide series, her book has easy to follow, step-by-step instructions and illustrations. Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 is a great software for beginners and Ulrich shows how to use the basic features of this software. When you are done you will have finished a photo album of your best photographs.

Ulrich begins with the Photoshop Elements Organizer to get your photos into your computer, categorize the images into groups, and sequence the images in the order of the pages for the photo album. Next you will use Elements to fix and enhance your photos. Ulrich covers both the Elements Quick Fix feature as well as the basic tasks performed by the standard Editor. Once you are ready, Ulrich discusses the Elements Creation Wizard and how to make a customized photo album, which you then can print on your inkjet printer, output in the universal PDF format or upload to the Kodak EasyShare Gallery (formerly Ofoto) online service where you can order a hard cover version of your photo album.

Katherine Ulrich is a writer and editor for Peachpit Press and the author of several books including the popular Macromedia Flash MX for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide.
