Part I: Getting Started
Using Help
Your first stop for exploring the helpful information Elements provides you
is in the Help menu. Here, you find several menu commands that offer you
information:

press the F1 key to open the Elements Help file. You can type in a search
topic and press Enter to open a list of items that provide helpful infor-
mation on the searched words.
For quick access to the Help document, type the text you want to search
into the text box on the right side of the menu bar in Standard Edit or
Quick Fix mode.
 Glossary of Terms: As you read this book, if we use a term that you
don’t completely understand, open the Photoshop Elements glossary.
Here, you find definitions of terms commonly used in photography and
image editing, as well as terms related specifically to Elements.
 Tutorials: If you want to explore some advanced learning, check out the
online tutorials provided by Adobe Systems.
 Photoshop Elements Online: This menu command launches your default
Web browser and takes you to Adobe’s Web site, where you can find
information about Elements, problems reported by users, and some
workarounds for getting a job done.
Using PDFs from the installation CD
A number of bonus files are stored in PDF form on your installation CD.
PDF files require the free Adobe Reader program or one of the commercial
Acrobat viewers. Adobe Reader can be installed from the CD during your
installation process.
Depending on when you purchased your Elements installer CD, the version of
Adobe Reader on the CD might be outdated. If you want to stay with the latest
upgrade of Adobe Reader, open your Web browser and type this address in
the Location bar:
www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html
Adobe Systems provides easy, step-by-step instructions for downloading the
most current, free Adobe Reader program and installing it on your computer.
