ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9 User Guide Digital Photography: Explore and Create Photoshop Elements tools enable you to explore your visual ideas while mastering the elements of digital imaging. Create panoramas Adobe Photomerge™ technology automatically resizes, skews, and blends portions of multiple images into seamless panoramas. Edit art on layers To create composite images, you can simply drag and drop an object (including text and images) from one ﬁle to another. Because these objects exist on separate layers, you have the ﬂexibility to move or modify the objects without affecting the rest of the image. Similarly, you can adjust and store color correction choices in editable layers without altering your original image layer. Create subtle or spectacular effects The Liquify command lets you quickly distort an image by interactively twisting and pulling it as if it were made of putty. You can use the command as a touch-up tool to make subtle enhancements as well.

Digital Photography: Explore and Create

Photoshop Elements tools enable you to explore your visual ideas while mastering the elements of

digital imaging.

Create panoramas

Adobe Photomerge

™

technology automatically resizes, skews, and blends portions of multiple images into

seamless panoramas.

Edit art on layers

To create composite images, you can simply drag and drop an object (including text and images) from one

ﬁle to another. Because these objects exist on separate layers, you have the ﬂexibility to move or modify the

objects without affecting the rest of the image. Similarly, you can adjust and store color correction choices

in editable layers without altering your original image layer.

Create subtle or spectacular effects

The Liquify command lets you quickly distort an image by interactively twisting and pulling it as if it were

made of putty. You can use the command as a touch-up tool to make subtle enhancements as well.
