Installing and Learning Adobe Photoshop Elements
 
Using the printed documentation
 
A printed user guide, 
 
Adobe Photoshop Elements 
User Guide, 
 
is included with the application.
The user guide assumes you have a working 
knowledge of your computer and its operating 
conventions, including how to use a mouse and 
standard menus and commands. It also assumes 
you know how to open, save, and close files. For 
help with any of these techniques, please see your 
Microsoft Windows or Mac OS documentation.
 
Using online Help
 
The Adobe Photoshop Elements application 
includes complete documentation in an accessible 
HTML-based help system.The help system 
includes all of the information in the 
 
Adobe 
Photoshop Elements User Guide.
 
 It contains 
essential information on using all of the 
Photoshop Elements commands, features, and 
tools, as well as tutorials, keyboard shortcuts, and 
full-color illustrations. 
The accessible HTML format provides easy 
navigation online, as well as easy reading using 
Web browsers. The file can also be printed out 
from the HTML version or from an included PDF 
version to provide a handy desktop reference.

Using Hints, Recipes, and tutorials
 
Photoshop Elements provides Hints, Recipes, and 
tutorials to help you learn the application quickly 
and work knowledgeably.
The Hints palette automatically displays an illus-
tration of and brief description about any palette 
or tool your mouse pointer is on. The Recipes 
palette guides you through typical image-editing 
tasks such as removing red-eye in photos, adding 
effects to text, and adding GIF animations.
Tutorials are available through the Help system 
and use included sample files to take you step-by-
step through the basics of working with layers, 
animated GIFs, and merging photos. It is a good 
idea to work through the layers tutorial in 
particular, since understanding layers is an 
important step in understanding Photoshop 
Elements tools and techniques.
 
Using context-sensitive menus
 
Context-sensitive menus display options for tools 
and palettes, and change depending on the item 
you’ve currently selected.
