I am new to photography. I bought a Canon Rebel about nine months ago, and

have been working my way through reading a book on how to use Elements 5. On a

lark, I decided to look through the manual for my camera. I now realize that

my camera has built in filters and such. I have not played with any of this,

including the white balancing. What confuses me is I don't know what is the

most advantageous to use - playing with the filters, etc. in Elements or using

the features in the camera. Maybe they aren't even one in the same, and don't

do the same things. It seems like if I don't use the camera options, I have

more options with the software.

I guess what I need are a couple of good classes, but nothing is offered in my

home town. Are there any recommended online classes or DVDs that would be

specifically designed for my skill level. I took one online class designed for

learning Elements, but it wasn't really in depth enough.

Thanks.

I am having a no success at all uploading my photos from Photoshop Elements

III. What am I doing wrong? I believe it is a psd file, and not a jpeg

anymore.

Thanks for whatever help is offered.
