Welcome to the PSE.NET newsletter for 14th of January.

It's a new year and the holiday season has finished. Now it is time to get down to the business of sorting out all the photos you have taken or family friends and holidays. One of the best ways I know of managing your photos is by using Albums (Windows) or Collections (Macintosh) in Photoshop Elements. The video tutorial this week shows you how to get the best from these features including how to create Smart versions of each. Members check it out here.

We also have a great live e-seminar on how to create panoramas using Photomerge scheduled for the 27th of this month. This is an open seminar (no need to be a member to view) so feel free to invite your friends to join us. Just go to this web address http://pacific.adobe.acrobat.com/pse8-pano/ on the day and time of the seminar to see the demonstration.

Until then, good luck with your imaging!

Newly added Member's resources:

This week's video tutorial deals with using Albums in the Organizer space (Windows) and Collections in Bridge (Macintosh). In particular we look at how to create and use Smart Albums/Collections which automatically add photos each time you select the album. Cool!

Using Smart Albums/Collections will save you time and effort and at the same time will help keep your photos well organized. Click here to view.

This week we provide you with a step-by-step guide to how to color a black and white photo. Reminiscent of processes that were used 100 years ago, in this technique we show you how to paint color over a monochrome base picture.  Click here to go straight to the technique and here to go to the Techniques archive.

Next Live E-Seminar:

Creating Stunning Panoramas with Photomerge

Wide angle vistas are truly sexy! I have been shooting them for year. Firstly with a Noblex camera and then, using digital SLRs, stitching overlapping photos to form the wide thin prints. When I first started making panoramas in this way, the equipment and software was expensive and the process difficult. Now you can create stunning vistas by seamlessly blending several images together in a matter of a few minutes. You no longer need specialist equipment and Photoshop Elements supplies all the stitching power with its Photomerge feature. This E-seminar walks you through the various steps involved in producing a stitched panorama.

If you haven't joined one of our e-seminars before, it's easy! All you need to do is log in to this web address http://pacific.adobe.acrobat.com/pse8-pano/ at the times listed below, turn on your speakers and sit back and see me demonstrate the program. The program will consist of a presentation and then time for questions.

Don't worry if you can't make the live demo as I will record the session and make it available later in the Member's Live Seminars archives.
