PSE 11 - Make It Easy on Yourself
When I want a No BS Answer to a Photographic question, I simply go to the UHH. So, conversely, I say this to all you good people: If youre like me, (Especially at my age) when someone is going to teach me something that is fairly complicated, (Like PSE 11) I want two things; 1)
Keep your instructions short, and to the point and
2) Dont tell me How You Always Do It, because I will develop my own style on my own! Like driving a car
. Just teach me how to do it correctly, and if I want to become a Race Car Driver, well, I will do it MY WAY. With that said
I will pass this on to you to make life easier if you are having trouble with PSE 11, or you are thinking about getting your feet wet as a beginner.
I have a fair amount of knowledge of PSE and the same for computers. I am very comfortable with PSE 11 (No Expert) but last month I bought the book Teach Yourself Visually Photoshop Elements 11 by: Mike Wooldridge & Brianna Stuart, just to add it to my collection of reference books.
I got it at Amazon for around $18 bucks.
This is one of; if not the best books I have ever read or have seen on the subject. There are no lessons, no theories, and no BS. This book will show you how
.,Let me repeat that
,this book will SHOW YOU HOW to do ANYTHING you need to know to DRIVE THE CAR! I remember when everything I wanted to learn about in PSE, or HOW TO USE a tool, or navigate through the Jungle of PSE was a Hair Pulling, Nerve Racking, and a downright true test of Anger Management. This book is nothing but great colored images, with simple instructions. Its like Painting By The Numbers. (I hope Im not the only one who did this as a kid) Well, since I am not on the payroll for the authors of this book, I will now shut my big mouth. But if you want to make your PP learning curve to flatten out, and sleep good at night, do yourself a favor and buy this book. Thats all I have to say. Good Night! 8-) Thanks, Boone

Type only "teach yourself visually" in the search box. There are a series of books that will appear. The PSE11 is one of them. $19.23 in print and $18.27 e-version.

Google search found it - on Amazon! Don't know what happened to Amazon's search function.
It would be nice if a workbook for Elements 8-11 were available online.

Not exactly a workbook but checkout Adobe.com and search for PSE tutorials. You will find alot of free info.
