Learning Photoshop Elements 5.0

hello everyone,

 

i brought photo shop elements 5.0, i am having problems here and maybe someone

can guide me or give me suggestions on books or something to get. i want to

learn how to add color to b/w photo, can someone help me with photo shop.. :)

you want to add color to a black and white photo? or you want to leave only a bit of color and process an image as a b&W?

 

The second one is VERY easy... but the first one is not!

Are you sure you don't mean, desaturating a color photo, and leaving a portion of it colored?

 

Look for a tool in the tool bar that looks like a sponge. Play with it on a color photo to se the

results.

NO, NO, NO - No matter what you do don't simply desaturate (or convert to grayscale) if you want a nice B&W image. Using the Sponge tool will also create a very dull gray image.

Shelly - have a look at Scott Kelby's "The Photoshop Elements 5 Book for Digital Photographers" - it's 473 pages of invaluable info, and you don't have to start at page one to begin. Glen Berry

If you want to learn more about PSE5 I would recommend the internet training classes at: http://www.eclecticacademy.com/graphics.htm

The two classes for PSE4 are great and the differences from 4 to 5 are trivial for these classes.

These are 6 week courses and are very economical.

 

I also recommend the Scott Kelby book.
