Try photoshop elements 9 for dummies. I'm not joking, there is actually a book called this and it is designed for complete novices. Haven't used it myself but it gets good reviews.

Hi Alex, apart from googling Elements 9 Tutorials where you will probably get references to YouTube etc etc You could try www.elementsvillage.com where there is always plenty of advice for Elements users of all versions . Good luck

Elements 9 tutorial

Hi Alex, I've just bought an Elements 9 as well and I am getting on great with it . The secret is that I kept the C.D.s from Digital Camera Magazine,a course of 10 C.D.s.I dont know if you can still get them from Digital Camera, It's worth a try. Good luck.

Tomjon.

Hi, Again thank you for the replies,I have taken delivery of PSE 9 for Dummies, I have also been a subscriber to both Photoplus and Digital Camera for well over twelve months,( I did stop Photoplus and then subscribed again) so I have numerous Discs to view.Now you might say why did I ask for assistance with a publication on PSE9, I like to have numerous ways to research, at the moment I am going through the disc/magazines/book marking those tutorial that I am interested in.In just a few days I have learned quite a lot. But there is nothing like getting other persons views/ideas to help you.Great magazines, this is a great site. There is always something to learn.

Best wishes

Angela/Alex
