Photoshop is not a world its a galaxy.
There are not hundreds but thousands of websites people have up for
love extolling their latest tweaks supplying you with free macros
and workarounds. Kids don't go out and play on the swings and play
ball anymore they're inside the school computer room not playing
computer games but playing with Photoshop. So If you are having
problems with Photoshop just ask your kids. Or rent one. I never
had any but I did have a copy of Photoshop about the minute it came
out and was up all night playing with it from the very beginning. So
my photographer friends would always call me up at two in the
morning. Before the internet even.
Yet to learn 90 percent of what you really need to know about making
your image dark or light enough and with proper contrast and color
balance that would take 20 minutes if you were paying attention.
Which we Geezers never do.
And there are hundreds of books on it. You could open a whole
bookstore with nothing but Photoshop books in it.
Me like to get books I'd always get Photoshop Bible by Deke
Mcclelland of every version 50 bucks with a Cd but he's made too
many millions and he's bored. So no more. He gets my attention
because on every page there is some humor. And its got 600 pages.
Enough to get you through any complicated quagmire you ever get
yourself into Photoshop wise.. No matter how
technical. Its like we're pioneers its an exciting time to be in photography.

Sorry, I won't mention Photoshop or Elements again.
Me like to get books also. I just thought the one I mentioned was
particularly good. I've use Elements since, I think, Version 2 with
relatively good success.
