This book is divided into logical chunks (parts). Chapters that discuss related topics are grouped together in five different parts.Part I: The Basics of Color Editing The first three chapters in the book are devoted to understanding color, calibration, and the essentials you need to do to prepare your color editing environment. We talk about terms and concepts you need to know for any kind of color correction and tonal editing. Be certain you understand the concepts in these three chapters and, in particular, make sure you get your monitor calibrated for proper color viewing. Part II: Image Brightness and Contrast Corrections In almost all cases, color correction begins with tonal corrections. In the three chapters in this part, we talk about all the methods you have available in Photoshop Elements to get the proper brightness and contrast in your pictures. As you can discover for yourself, doing these corrections first makes the job of color correction much easier. Part III: Color Corrections This part relates exclusively to color correction, and it’s by far the largest part in the book. We cover color correction techniques for a wide variety of image problems related to color reproduction. You can find out all that Elements has to offer for professional color-correction methods, and we avoid using menu commands and tools that just don’t measure up when you want to create quality images. Part IV: Finishing Work This part is limited to color printing. We talk about what you need to do to get your output to look like your monitor and how to print your pictures with color profiles. We cover several, common, consumer-grade printers and how you print your files to these printers. Part V: The Part of Tens We wrap up the book with the Part of Tens chapters, where you can find tips for better tone and color corrections. After you gain experience with Elements and the techniques in this book, if you become curious about upgrading to Photoshop, we provide a chapter that offers an overview of Photoshop’s additional features for correcting brightness and color.
