Résumé

Create awesome, professional special effects with your very first lesson!

If you thought creating photorealistic objects or "carving" a headline out of stone was only possible with professional experience and $600 software, think again! Elements 2 can perform all of today's cool image-editing tricks and techniques, and with these easy, step-by-step tutorials, so can you. Become a digital magician who can fix or enhance photographs, create three-dimensional images, produce the effect of lightning or x-rays, morph a face, or give life to a fantasy animal. Forty-three individual lessons arm you with all the knowledge necessary, and 24 pages of color illustrations show you exactly what you and Elements 2 can do.

Understand how the Elements toolbox, palettes, and options bar work and learn the capabilities of each tool
Discover how to create three-dimensional geometric shapes, alter the appearance of type, or apply wires and circuits to an interface
Create the effect of natural elements like water and lightning, or intangible forces like vapors, rays, and electricity
Give subjects a digital facelift, merge photos, and morph images
Apply type treatments that reinforce the visual message in your print communications

Bonus CD-ROM
Includes project files for each tutorial, plus Action FX Layer Styles, Patterns, Brushes, and other goodies for Photoshop Elements 2
