You might be interested in a rather good tutorial system on
www.marrutt.com. I have bought a year's subscription for the whole
site, but individual CDs with video tutorials are reasonable. Best of
all, you can try the first three lessons free, gratis and ... for
nothing ;-)
Whether you buy Elements 3 or stick with v.2, these tutorials are quite
a help. I bought PS CS, as an upgrade from PS7 which I bought
secondhand, so that I could edit in 16-bit mode and to use the built-in
JP2K. The 16-bit mode is excellent, but the JP2K implementation is
pretty useless for large files as it take so long to get through the
initial setting up.
