Photo Editing for Absolute Beginners
Photo Editing for Absolute Beginners answers the most common questions that new Photoshop Elements users ask me. Straight to the point, using the simplest method that will get you in and out of Photoshop Elements in a couple of minutes.
You'll learn how to:
- Find your way around the Photoshop Elements workspace - so you can find the tools and commands you need
- Open a photo in Photoshop Elements - and save it so that you can't ruin your original
- Edit a photo in quick mode - and improve the look of your photos
- Crop a photo for printing - so you get the whole subject in the frame
- Add text to a photo - tell your story or make a postcard
- Save a photo for printing online - so the prints look the best they can
- Print at home - on photo paper of ANY size
- Print multiple photos on a 4x6 - a cost effective way to get your smaller prints for pocket scrapping
You’ll gain the confidence to work on your own - even if you are brand new to Photoshop Elements

Hi Jo – you can purchase Get Organized: Supplies at the Daily Digi here: https://thedailydigi.com/classes/get-organized-supplies
I think the Daily Digi has retired. Is the Get Organized Supplies class available anywhere?
Yes, the Daily Digi is no longer with us.

I’m doing Get Organized: Supplies. Do I need to Save Metadata to Files after tagging?
Yes, I usually do it every few weeks 😀

I understand the Digital Organizing class is a Photoshop Elements class specifically. I do not have that program and wonder if it would be useful to me say, in Adobe Bridge, or Apple photos? I know I’d have to adapt it on my own, but I cannot find anything else about organizing digital supplies and your class comes highly recommended.
Thank you!

Hi Jennifer! I happy to hear people recommended my class. I think it would be fairly specific to Organizer, but I have a 30 day money back guarantee, so you could take the class and if it’s just too program specific, let me know and I’ll refund it for you.
Regards
Melissa
