Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac
As I am a newbie to photoshop elements, I found this tutorial to be outstandingly clear and informative. As the title suggests, it is essential training. It will get you up and running using the program. Since Photoshop Elements has so many features that simply cannot be covered in a single 8 hour video.[...] I look forward to purchasing it when (and if) it becomes available.
