Adobe Photoshop CS3

Kathie and Laurie:
I now have Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 installed on my computer - which looks like lots of fun to have serious play with. Two questions, should I download 'Essentials 2' which is supposed to be a 'perfect companion to Adobe Photoshop Elements' from Adobe? They offer a $20.00 savings on it. Also, Adobe offers book entitled 'Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Classroom in a Book', should I purchase - $35.? Appreciate your help!

Hi Toby
Glad to see you've taken the plunge and got Photoshop Elements 6. You'll have great fun playing with it.
I would not recommend spending more money on Essentials 2 at this time. I don't have it and I can do great things with the features Elements 6 offers as standard.
As regards the book. I would highly recommend "Photoshop Elements 6 - The Missing Manual". I have this book and it goes through every feature of Elements in easy to follow steps. It's written by Barbara Brundage, ISBN-10: 0596514441 / ISBN-13: 978-0596514440, from Pogue Press/O'Reilly. I purchased mine through Amazon.co.uk. You should be able to get yours through Amazon.com, for about $39.99. An invaluable resource as a reference, and should be ideal for you as a beginner. ;) I love it.
Laurie.

Hi Kathy & Laurie
Thank you for all the info. and also George about the new resizing tool - I will have a look at that in a moment. Just wanted to say that I have ordered ' the missing manual' to go with 'Elements' as I have one of the other books in the range and like you say they are very good.
I will try and get some pics resized and posted on the forum. Had to hire a digger at the weekend to move a couple of palm trees, fingers crossed they survive - so far so good. Just planning to plant a Small lemon grove in a nother area. Weeds here in Spain are a constant problem and the more soil you can cover up the better. We are covering a nother bed today with weed suppresant ad then we cover that with pebbles. Will take a pic.
Thanks for the useful advice.

Hold off on the resizer program, Lynda
Laurie has downloaded and tested, and has reported a problem, and I have identified the source. Please wait until I give the nod that its fixed ;)

I'm glad you took my advice. I think this book is invaluable, no matter what your skill level is. ;)

WOW! I'm impressed. :o We really envy people who have large gardens. You could probably fill ours with the digger alone (well, almost). :(
Good luck with all that and we look forward to seeing some 'piccies.'
Kathy & Laurie.
