Elementary School

Please note: the Elementary School CD is now only for sale - from this page - to addresses in the United States. New postal rates (effective May 14, 2007) make the price for shipping to non-US addresses considerably higher than it was before. If you are a non-US resident and, in spite of the high shipping, you wish to purchase the Elementary School CD, go to this page to find out how you can do so.

Elementary School is a five hundred forty two page electronic book available in .pdf format on a CD-ROM. It contains one hundred eight heavily illustrated lessons for new users of Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 3.
     This book was written for beginners. It is extremely detailed and visual. Thorough coverage is given to all basic topics relevant to digital imaging. In addition, creative techniques are taught in clear, easy to follow tutorials geared to those who are new to digital image editing.

This book is only for the Windows version of Elements 3.

The CD-ROM, which includes the book, and all work files necessary to complete the lessons, is available via PayPal for $46.00 ( includes shipping). See below for details on ordering.
