This section was a little slow to take of and the reason is I just did not had a way of presenting the short articles. One does not want to write to much because then people does not read it, on the other hand its important to write because that is the best way of telling the story on a media like the web. I recently discovered a great example while working on different techniques and that I like to start using with this short technique I like to write about. Please give me feedback and let me know if this technique will work for you.

How to use the Curves Function to make images Pop....

First important thing to do after purchasing Photoshop Elements is to get the “Elements Plus” add-on for Elements. What is does it un-locks many more advanced functions in Elements only available in the much more expensive versions like CS4 and CS5. It is not expensive and worth every penny you pay.

Well, that is it, your first important Photoshop Elements technique. I do most of my work in RAW and yes I agree working in RAW is extremely powerful. But often with my PEN I use the excellent JPEG files I get from the PEN and in most cases the above technique is all I need to give it that extra little pop.

From here onwards you can sharpen if you need to or you can leave it as is. In my next technique I will give you some interesting sharpening advice.
