one last photoshop quest...promise :)
One last question for anyone who happens to own photoshop elements, does it come with a directions book on how to use it? I know this sounds like an odd question, but I downloaded the free trial and do not have a clue even where to start. I am actually pretty good with a computer. I even teach a couple of classes online but this I can not figure out-lol. Thanks again!

Try the Missing Manual series by Barbara Brundage.

I dont have elements but I know P.S. comes with NADA. So I would assume elements comes with less than nada.

A legal copy of either software purchased from a reputable vendor will have a manual. And it is a hefty manual at that. For all their virtues, Photoshop products are not especially user-friendly. The manual is a big help. So is simply playing with the program.

Hi All, I just bought a legal copy of Elements in a factory sealed box, and it does not come with a printed manual other than a "Getting Started Guide" which largely explains how to use their "Help" function which is online and very … well, helpful.

Normally they come with a PDF user guide (on the disc), most software from adobe will not come with a massive manual as they sell this separately (cash cow) check Amazon etc for the official books although the Quick Start guide books are much more useful…

My apologies . . . I stand corrected! My software is a couple of years old and came with 1" manual. I am finding more and more software coming with the manual as a read-me file on the disk.

dear erosmond, i have an awesome manual for my "elements" program, and i think i remember that i bought it at a big bookstore like "books-a-million" or "borders." the bookstores also offer advanced photoshop-technique books with some crazy cool stuff in them. i also found a woman who is a photoshop expert & had her come over to give me a couple of lessons. also, some local colleges or adult education programs offer classes. happy hunting! helen

Along with other participants’ helpful tips or guide, you might want to take a look at self-help online within Photoshop Help under Menu, where you get some pretty good tips or pretty much self explanatory help through Photoshop’s onscreen help.
Hope that helps.
