Helpful Hints and Information needed.

[carolinagirl05]

Can anyone give me helpful hints about Photoshop Elements 2.0?

Also -- is this a good program to use. Any information on this program would be very helpful. I am really new to the Photoshop thing -- but nowhere near new to computers.

Thanks,
:confused:

First off....WELCOME! I am by no means an expert...just a beginner to everything (digital scrapping & scrapping in general); however, I started with Paint Shop Pro 8 (PSP8) and struggled getting some of the same effects that I could easily achieve in Photo Shop Elements (PSE). I've just recently completed 4 pages with PSE & it was a BREEZE. See for yourself...

In my opinion, PSE gives you the ability to see how things are going to look at a glance instead of trying and then having to "UNDO". Just my opinion though. Hope this helps.

Hmmmm....hard to give hints, I'm not really sure what you're after. We could all post a million tips, but let me recommend you follow the beginner tutorial in PS
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/university/qc1.shtml

then as you need help translating, come back here or the Quick Class Forum and ask questions.

There is also a PSE thread here:

So just jump in! We're here for you! I really like PSE, and many here use it for scrapping.
