Whether you're a user or not you know, at least by name, Photoshop, book primarily for professionals. In 2001, Adobe presented Photoshop Elements, Photo editing software for individuals. For the record it is also the date when I got my first computer, my first digital camera and my first photoshop ... Me being stopped at No. 6 I found news in this latest installment. More complete, easy enough to take over thanks to its 3 levels of editing: fast, guided and expert. A real pleasure. I find that Photoshop and Lightroom complement each other well. Each user can find answers to his demands. For the installation, nothing simpler: 2 DVD in the box, one for Mac and one for Windows. Just follow the instructions and voila! You will also find 2 booklets to guide you. Beautiful hours of work ahead. If you really still hesitate to buy a book step by step to help you. Concerning first add my remarks I will return because I started in video and so I did not recoil at the moment. As promised I return to this comment but not to talk about video. The organization does not work: it opens and displays an error message before closing. Is there a conflict with iPhoto on the Mac?
