Being a scrapbooker, I know how important it is to not only take lots of pictures but to be able to use those which are less than desirable. Let's face it, I'm not a perfect photographer and sometimes none of my pictures turn out good enough to put in the scrapbook. I hate creating a beautiful page only to slap on some dark, underexposed photos to ruin my work of art.What's a girl to do? Photoshop Elements to the rescue!
I love, love, love this software! You can do so much with it like edit your photos but you can also create graphic designs. There's a ton of stuff this program is capable of that I haven't learned yet. Whenever I get stuck I just google what I'm trying to do and have a multitude of tutorials right at my fingertips. It's really easy to learn.
One of the cool features I like to use is actions. An action is a series of steps you use when editing your photos or graphic to achieve a certain look. When you click on the action, all the steps magically happen for you. It's a great time-saver. I've downloaded a bunch of actions for free at The CoffeeShop Blog to help me out and highly recommend you do to.
Here's a sample of what you can do with actions from The CoffeeShop Blog:
