Enter to win a copy of the book Photoshop Elements 9, The Missing Manual


No interview this week - I am again behind the 8 ball it seems. However, I have a giveaway that will appeal to digital art fans. Last Christmas Santa kindly upgraded my fossilized mac, installed PE 9 (I'd been using version 2.0)...and gave me this very useful book by Barbara Brundage!

But there was a catch. It turns out I was accidentally sent a misprinted copy. All the text is correct but the photos are only in shades of gray. I've since received a colored replacement. Instead of tossing the black & white version, I thought this manual might make a good Thursday Giveaway prize for the right person.

So, if you are playing with the latest version of Photoshop Elements (or are thinking about it), this is the book for you. There are a number of things that 9 can do which were not available in some earlier versions. You can read more about this fun program here: Adobe.com/products/photoshopel/.  

I'd like to emphasize that the book I'm giving away has only black & white photos. However, all of the other content is identical to the corrected book (which retails for around $29). It is 622 pages long and weighs a ton - now, that's a lot of useful info!

TO ENTER: Simply leave a comment on my blog in the next 2 weeks.  All entries must be received by 1 a.m. (EST) on 3/10. 1 random winner will be selected. This drawing is open worldwide with free shipping to the lucky winner.

  3. I certainly can use it. This is still a mystery to me, but would love to try it.

    I'm enjoying being part of our wonderful VAST group.

  10. I've recently purchased PSE9 and I love it. I've had several of the earlier versions. BUT, there are so many things to learn! Overwhelming sometimes but I love it.
