Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Tool Tips
October 30, 2011 | 
Author Adobe Photoshop includes some very exciting tools that even Elements beginners can use to good effect. The top 3 tools that you need to get to grips with first are the Smudge, Blur, and Sharpen tools that are perfect for editing minor blemishes from a digital image.
The smudge tool function helps to add special background and foreground effects to an image, such as blurring the foreground into the background or by blurring the background into the foreground. This allows you to edit images that may be out of focus or if there is an irritating shadow that you need to get rid of. The blur tool can be located by right-clicking on the smudge icon, and allows you to slightly blur a photo should the image appear too sharp, just as the Sharpen Tool, located in the same way, can be used to make a photo sharper should it be blurred.
The burn tool allows you to edit an image to a darker tone, and will also help to reveal highlights and detail in an over exposed photo. The Dodge Tool is located by right-clicking the burn tool icon, but this tool will perform the exact opposite, by making a photo lighter, bringing out details in shadowed or under exposed parts of the image.
Another great editing tool that is also located by right-clicking the burn tool icon is the sponge tool, which allows you to saturate or de-saturate a photo. Saturation is making the image brighter and more colourful whereas de-saturation will dampen the color to make it a bit more dull. You are also able to switch foreground and background colors, for extra special effects that will make you digital photos look unique. This tool allows you to interchange the background color of an image to be the foreground color and vice versa.
With just the click of a button the Adobe Photoshop Elements software will change the colors around for you. You can play around with the colors to create some really awesome images, such as setting your background to red. Then you can write over part of the image in the same color, by simply clicking on the icon and Adobe Elements will change the colors around, allowing you to write in red on the image.
These are just a few of the basic tricks a tips that will help you get to grips with the basic tools of Adobe Elements software,

Digital Photo Editing – 3 Simple Ways to Enhance Your Digital Photos
Back in the day there was no such thing as digital photo editing. If you wanted to enhance your photos there simply weren’t any options. You just had to hope that your photos came out decent. Recent technology though, allows us to edit and enhance our digital photos after they’ve already been taken! Here are 3 simple ways that you can enhance your photos with digital photo editing software.
Digital Photo Editing Tip #1 – Cropping
Digital photo editing makes it easy to correct a digital photo that may not have been lined up very well. You always want to make sure that the focus of your photo, whether it be a person or an object, is in the middle of your frame. If it is not then you can use the crop feature to edit the photo so that the important parts of the photo are highlighted or centered. You can also crop a photo in order to clean up unnecessary background activity or to reduce the size of an image so that it can be more easily shared over the internet.
Digital Photo Editing Tip #2 – Red Eye Removal
One thing that can ruin a photo fast is red eye. Red eye is caused by the reflection of light off of the retina in the eye. The red color actually comes from the blood vessels that are nourishing the eye. Most digital photo editing software programs offer a red eye removal tool. If the digital photo editing program that you are using does not have a red eye removal tool then just simply zoom in to each eye and paint over the red reflection. I personally use Photo Editor X because it allows me to remove red eye with the click of a button. For more information on Photo Editor X Click Here
Digital Photo Editing Tip #3 – Sharpening
Sometimes a photo can come out a bit soft. If this is the case with your photo then try out the sharpen tool in your digital photo editing software. The sharpen tool, if overused, can lead to jagged edges in your photo, but if used moderately it can really enhance your digital photos. It’s difficult to describe in words exactly how the sharpen tool can improve your photos. The best thing to do is to open up your digital photo editing software and tinker with it. Most digital photo editing programs allow you to see the outcome of the sharpen effect without actually having to commit to the edits. Give it a try and see what happens.
