Every autumn, Adobe releases a new version of the photo-editing programme Photoshop Elements. Shortly afterwards, André van Woerkom always publishes a new book in which he explains all the new features in detail.

Photoshop Elements is the smaller sibling of Photoshop, with plenty of functionality for photographers. A great advantage is that you are not tied to a subscription with this programme. The latest version offers intelligent options for editing images, such as presets and filters.

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 and 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. You actually edit your photos in the Editor. Both are of course discussed extensively in this book, with most of the explanation 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.

Includes practical demonstrations

André also updates his Photoshop Elements course at Photofacts Academy every year. This year's updates will also appear soon. The book also refers to the videos, which you can then watch for free.

When you buy the book, you also receive one month's free access to all the courses on Photofacts Academy, more than 85 in total, so you can pick up many more useful tips to improve your photography.

Conclusion

This book is ideal for anyone who wants to start editing their photos with Photoshop Elements. Anyone who finds 'the 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. They show André actually carrying out the edits, so you can copy him exactly.

Photoshop Elements 2022 contains 256 pages. It will cost 29.99 euros, but it can currently be pre-ordered until 20 December 2021 for 24.99 euros. The book will become available on 20 December.
