Learn More About Photoshop Elements for Mac
Whether you are a beginner or more advanced user, Photoshop Elements for Mac Version 4.0 from Adobe lets you perform basic photo editing tasks quickly and easily whilst giving you the chance to use sophisticated features with the click of a mouse. The age of the digital camera means that many of us have loads of photos hidden away or scattered all over the place on the hard drive of our Mac where no one is able to see them. This article aims to give some help for you get going in digital photo editing with Photoshop Elements Mac.
To start with, you will require some digital photo editing software. I would recommend Adobe Photoshop Elements Mac Version 4.0. The latest version has been produced in Universal Binary code, so is cross compatible with both the new generation Intel processor and G-series Macs. Photoshop Elements is built around the industry-standard, professional Adobe Photoshop software. Aimed at the home-based digital photo buff, Elements executes basic picture editing tasks swiftly and easily and there are also some sophisticated Photoshop features accessible with a couple of clicks.
The interface is concise and well constructed, a good feature for the photo-editing novice is the use of descriptive icons, where you hover the mouse over an icon and it gives a explanation of what it does. Managing your photos is simple, Elements allows you to control, arrange, delete and view your photo collection in loads of different ways including face and keyword tagging. Elements also shows a comprehensive list of file properties for each of your pictures so you’ll never be unable to find a photo on your hard drive again. Also, a collaboration between Adobe and Kodak gives you the chance to share photos on the web, print greetings cards, calendars or photo albums. Before you eject the install cd, make sure you copy the Goodies folder to your hard drive – it contains loads of frames, backgrounds and extras to play around with.
With Quick Fix you can carry out basic editing functions to fix common digital photo flaws in one convenient place. With a couple of clicks, smart fix and auto red-eye removal will give you a photo that is all set to print. More useful functions are the skin tone adjustment tool, which gives skin tones a more life-like appearance and the straighten tool which allows you to straighten and crop crooked photos. Several more complex features that are very cool include the magic selection brush and magic extractor tool – I use them frequently in Photoshop CS2 and I was highly impressed with their performance in Photoshop Elements Mac Version 4.0. The magic selection brush allows you draw on an object and, as long as there is sufficient contrast between it and the backdrop, Elements will pick it for you. The magic extractor is even better; it is straightforward to control and allows you to quickly separate objects from the background of a photo very precisely (this works better than the extract function in the full-priced Photoshop CS2 – but don’t tell anyone I told you!).
So, for the novice or more advanced user alike, if you want to edit your photos quickly and easily with the minimum of fuss, and get them off your your hard drive for people to see, Adobe Photoshop Elements Mac Version 4.0 offers all the tools you need and more besides and is excellent value for money.
