This book breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers
that.s never been done before.it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly
.how to do it.. It.s not a bunch of theory; it doesn.t challenge you to come
up with your own settings or figure things out on your own. Instead, it does
something that virtually no other Elements book has ever done.it tells you
flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why.

If you.re looking for one of those .tell-me-everything-about-the-Unsharp-
Mask-filter. books, this isn.t it. You can grab any other Elements book on
the shelf, because they all do that. Instead, this book gives you the inside
tips and tricks of the trade for organizing, correcting, editing, sharpening,
retouching, and printing your photos like a pro. You.ll be absolutely amazed
at how easy and effective these techniques are.once you know the secrets.

LEARN HOW THE PROS DO IT
Each year we train thousands of digital photographers and, almost without
exception, they have the same questions and face the same problem.that.s
exactly what we cover in this book. You.ll learn:

* The real secrets of how the pros retouch portraits
* How to color correct any photo with out breaking a sweat (you.ll be amazed
at how they do it!)
* How to use Camera Raw for processing not only RAW photos, but JPEGs and
TIFFs, too! (And you.ll learn why so many pros like it best.because it.s
faster and easier)
* The sharpening techniques the pros really use (there.s an entire chapter
just on this!)
* How to deal with common digital camera image problems, including removing
noise and avoiding halos
* The most requested photographic special effects, and much more!

THE BOOK.S SECRET WEAPON
Although Elements 9 offers some digital photography features that
Photoshop CS5 doesn.t offer, there are plenty of features that Photoshop CS5
has that Elements 9 still doesn.t have (things like paths, Channel Mixer etc.).
But in this book, you.ll learn some slick workarounds, cheats, and some fairly
ingenious ways to replicate many of those Photoshop features from right within
Elements. Plus, since this book is designed for photographers, it doesn.t
waste your time talking about how to frame a shot, set your exposure, etc.,
and there.s no talk about which camera or printer to buy. It.s all Elements,
step-by-step, cover-to-cover, in the only book of its kind!
