The Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements 2.0

The book The Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements 2 is the first in the Hidden Power series, covering Elements 1 and 2 (despite the title). Tools are included on the CD for Mac and PC for versions 1 and 2 of Elements that greatly enhance the power of the program by adding features such as Curves, Color Balance, CMYK separations and file creation, RGB Channels. It is one of the most successful and unique books on Photoshop Elements, dramatically expanding what Elements can do while posing a simplified workflow that helps users get the most from their images.

Even at this early stage the book concentrates on processing digital photos, and sets down a plan for approaching editing of any image.
