Using Hints, Recipes, and tutorials

Photoshop Elements provides Hints, Recipes, and tutorials to help you learn the application quickly and work knowledgeably.

The Hints palette automatically displays an illustration of and brief description about any palette or tool your mouse pointer is on. The Recipes palette guides you through typical image-editing tasks such as removing red-eye in photos, adding effects to text, and adding GIF animations.

Tutorials are available through the Help system and use included sample files to take you step-by-step through the basics of working with layers, animated GIFs, and merging photos. It is a good idea to work through the layers tutorial in particular, since understanding layers is an important step in understanding Photoshop Elements tools and techniques.
