4 Easy Creative Projects

In this chapter, you'll find a wide range of interesting special effects, most of which can be applied to your images with speed and ease.

I have always liked Elements' slightly alternative approach to image editing because it includes a lot of project-based editing skills rather than concentrating just on the skills of image editing.
