Vanduuren Media sent us the book Photoshop Elements 2021, written by André van Woerkom. With this book, you discover how to use the latest version of Photoshop Elements.
Photoshop Elements is the little brother of Photoshop and offers more than enough options for many photographers.
It is also less complex than the professional package. An additional benefit, for many people, is that you can still buy Elements separately, so you do not have to pay for it every month.
The book consists of 12 chapters:
1. Getting to know the Organizer
2. Working with the Editor, quick mode
3. Guided mode
4. Correcting and retouching
5. Image size
6. Making selections
7. Working with layers
8. Transforming
9. Text, shapes, layer styles and backgrounds
10. Drawing, painting, erasing
11. Better management
12. Special projects and output
Photoshop Elements consists of two parts: the Editor and the Organizer. You can use the Organizer to manage your photo library. In the Editor, you actually edit your photos. Both are discussed in detail in this book, with most of the explanations naturally focusing on the Editor.
Each explanation consists of a step-by-step description of what you need to do and a description of the various options.
Videos with the book
The book includes QR codes. If you scan one with your phone, for example, you are taken straight to a video showing how something works.
These videos refer to André's course at Photofacts Academy. A nice combination of a book and video tutorials.
Conclusion
This book is ideal for anyone who wants to start editing their photos with Photoshop Elements. Anyone who finds 'real' Photoshop a step too complex will certainly find their way around this programme with the help of this book.
The videos are a useful addition, as you can actually watch André carry out the edits, so you can copy them perfectly.
Price and availability
Photoshop Elements 2021 contains 256 pages. It will cost 27.99 euros, but you can currently pre-order it for 22.99 euros until 15 December 2020. The book will also become available on 15 December.
