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!
Coming up this weekend is a tutorial on creating a dark and rounded vignette, by reader request. Subscribe to Digital Photography For Moms via email or RSS so that you don’t miss it.

Thanks for the link. I think I could spend hours and hours there looking around. I’m excited about the PSE tutorials, and have already seen several “articles” of great interest!
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been looking for a tutorial on adjusting skin tones in elements (besides just using “adjust color for skin tone)and this site had exactly what I was looking for.
Oh My Goodness…You got it right! As if I needed another excuse to ignore cooking and cleaning for my family to spend time on this computer!
That is a great site and the tutorials look like they’re very broken down and easy to understand. Love your tips ~ thanks!
Thanks for the heads-up on this, I too am always looking for new info.
I think you’re right on when you say it’s for advanced PSE users. In the tutorials I read, he would tell people to go to a menu item, but not say where to find it. For those of us totally familiar with our PSE, that’s not a problem, but for a new user or someone coming from another program, that’s a problem. Also, I found that a several times he used slower, more cumbersome ways of doing things than is ideal. He may have a reason for that, but I’m always looking to learn the fastest, simplest route to results.
That said, there’s a lot there to plow through, and any information is better than no information! I’ll be watching to see how the site evolves and I’m sure there will be even more useful content over time. Thanks again for pointing it out!
