  This course is designed to familiarize students with the workspace, tools, features and functionality of Photoshop Elements, Adobe's photo-editing software for amateur photographers, digital imaging enthusiasts, and small business users.
As the name implies, Photoshop Elements is built around core elements of Adobe Photoshop, excluding some of the more advanced, professional-level features and adding its own unique features specifically for photo-hobbyists.
Photoshop Elements incorporates many of Photoshop's powerful features without being too overwhelming to the novice user.
- A guided editing mode helps users get started, and automated features simplify many tasks, such as posting online photo galleries and stitching multiple photos to create panoramas.
- The user interface is friendly to beginners, but not "dumbed-down" to the point that it frustrates experienced users.
- Photoshop Elements also includes a powerful photo organizer, drag & drop photo creation layouts and artwork, and many sharing options, which makes it a perfect all-in-one solution for photo hobbyists.
