Artificial intelligence, or AI, has been used in Photoshop Elements for around a decade. It is only one aspect of the program, which has long held a prominent position in home photo editing. Many features are derived from the professional version of Photoshop—including selection tools, layers and numerous image-enhancement functions—without the same technical complexity.
This book is part of a long-running series that is continually revised to stay current and incorporate improvements, including feedback from readers.
It covers nearly every aspect of the program, including the new features in the 2025 version. Above all, it is a hands-on guide with many step-by-step exercises, supported by a free set of images that readers can use to recreate the demonstrated results.
Topics covered include:
- Getting started: finding your way around the Organizer and Editor
- Quick Actions: Working with Photomerge and Tutorial Mode
- Files and file formats: Work with photos and other files
- Cropping: sizing images
- Color: color modes and color models
- Editing: correcting and retouching
- Selections: selecting parts of an image
- More complex images: working with layers
- Coloring: outlines and fills
- Getting the message across: working with text
- Creativity: drawing, painting and erasing
- Output: printing, presenting and preparing for the web
