Elementary School 5

Please note: the Elementary School 5 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 5 is a five hundred ninety eight page electronic book available in .pdf format on a CD-ROM. It contains one hundred twelve heavily illustrated lessons for new users of Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 5.
     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.
     What are the advantages of a PDF book? Because it is not printed, I can include as many full color illustrations as I like. There are somewhere between 2000 and 3000 color pictures in this book. There are screen captures and image details of edits in progress— all in full color—of everything relevant to what is being taught. A print book with that number of high quality color illustrations would cost a fortune.

This book is only for the Windows users.

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

You must have Adobe® Reader 7 or later to view the Elementary School 5 CD contents. You can find an installer for that version of Adobe® Reader on your Elements 5 install disk. Or you can download Adobe® Reader 7 or later from Adobe.com.
