My friends, I have been working hard lately.  I am so excited about the results, and I think you will be too!

Through the years, I’ve heard so many questions about Photoshop Elements.  How to use it.  How to use actions in PSE.  How to install the stinking actions in PSE.  How to make photos look beautiful.

It occurred to me that it’s time to put all the answers together in interactive, easy to use resources.

Here’s what I came up with.

Ready, Set, Actions!

Have you got a henhouse full of Photoshop Elements actions but not a clue how to use them?  We’re coming to your rescue with a brand new book.  Ready, Set, Actions! is packed with tips, tricks and proven techniques tailor made for the Elements user.  It’s 90+ pages will take you from installing your action to understanding basic terminology and performing start to finish image edits.  Ready, Set, Actions! will have you rocking those actions before you know it.

Introductory Pricing

Until October 16, if you add two products totaling at least $94 to your cart, you get an automatic $25 discount. It’s like getting the Ready, Set, Color! video for free!

Are you one of the kind people who filled out a survey for me last summer?  If so, you can use that coupon code on top of the $25 introductory discount.  Add the word color to the end of the discount code you already have, and you will receive a $50 discount.  Or, just use your original coupon code for any cart totaling $50 or more to save $25.  And thanks again for being so generous with your time.

Are you READY?  It’s time to rock Elements.  Click on the links above to get started.

Love the name, love the site!  As if I needed another place to surf. . . .

Check out this page of Photoshop Elements tutorials.  There is some good stuff here for advanced PSE users.  Learn how to simulate curves in PSE, skin tone correction, and burning and dodging shortcuts. 

I don’t know much about the author, but I think it is fabulous that he is making all this info available for us.  Thank you Jim!

He has also posted something called a Creative Energy Questionnaire, to help you “delve into your inner photographer.”  Sounds like a good activity for me. 

The questionnaire is available for free self-reflection, or for $99 you can submit it to the photographer who runs the website along with 20 pictures for a Creative Consultation. 

I think I’ll be doing the free version.  Does anyone care to join me?  We can compare results!

This site is definitely making it onto my Best Resources list!
