There's also other cool tricks you can you can use to enhance your photos. Check out some of these options you can use to turn ordinary shots into extraordinary photographs.

Replace a Drab Sky

Your on vacation and you make the almost 2-hour hike up the mountain to see the awesome view and snap some pictures. The view is awesome but when you see the pictures your disappointed. The picture is unimpressive because the clouds had rolled in and the gray sky dominates the picture, stealing the glory from the vista.

Well why not use the blue sky that you captured in the shot before the sky turned gray. It's an option you can use when you have Adobe Photoshop Elements. Look at what a difference it made in the photo below.





See how easy it is here.

Intensify or Simulate a Sunset

You can even show what a scene would look like with a magnificent sunset. See how I got the results in the photo below by clicking here.



Correct Common Problems

We already saw how you can use Elements to fix exposure and color problems. It's also easy to fix other problems and save a photo you might otherwise discard.

For example you can quickly crop out distracting areas from the background. Photoshop Elements even has a Straighten tool to adjust crooked shots. It took less than a minute to straighten the photo below. Click here to see how easy it was.

This is not even close to being a complete list of what you can do with Adobe Photoshop Elements. I just wanted to give you an idea of how easy it is to use and some of the more common uses.

I believe anyone who takes digital photographs will find Elements indispensable and well worth the cost. Digital Scrappers as well as professional photographers will treasure the creative capabilities it will give them.

A Good Place to Buy

If you're like me you want to make sure you get a good price when you buy something. It's hard to beat Amazon.com when it comes to customer service and price. If you ever bought books at Amazon you know how streamlined their process is and how competitive their pricing is.

The same holds true for software. They take $21.50 off the regular price and right now Adobe has a $20 mail-in rebate which you can also use. So now is an excellent time to get Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 at Amazon for under $60.

If your a Mac users you can get Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 [Mac] for the same low price. Your purchase also qualifies for free shipping.

So to sum up this deal, you get:

  • 22% off from Amazon
  • $20 mail-in rebate from Adobe
  • Free shipping from Amazon
  • Total savings of $41.50 (over 40% off)
  • Security and reliability of Amazon

It also benefits me as an affiliate for Amazon. I receive a small stipend which helps to maintain this website if you buy from Amazon after clicking on either of the two links above. I could have chosen a higher-paying affiliate program but I truly believe Amazon offers the best value to you.

Until next time,
Rick
