Best Way To Learn Photoshop Elements 2022

I like the Dummies books.

For me, I used a lot of YouTube videos and Ali Edwards blog posts on how to do different things. I also just google what I need to do in photoshop and I almost always find a tutorial on what I need. Another thing that helps me is just playing around with it and not saving my work unless I like the result. Please feel free to ask any questions here too because I will gladly help if I know how to do it.

I think it's hard to learn the entire program and remember everything. I've been using it for years and even took college level photoshop classes, but still have google/youtube to remember things.

I agree where some said just focus on what you want to do with it, whether it's editing photos, or digital scrapping, etc.

Early on I took photoshop/digital classes with Jessica Sprague. Hers are more focused on the task. She uses photoshop but most things you would probably want to use it for Elements can do too.

Shannan Matton has lots of tutorials on Vimeo and some on Ali Edwards blog. This is one about using layered templates. vimeo.com/423861941/description

She has some free templates and elements to try out. www.shannanpages.com/?Collection=Freebie

Layers are a fundamental thing to learn. Are you old enough to remember overhead projectors? Thinking about adding transparencies on top of each other helps. The top on the layers panel is why you see best. Then layers below can be covered over by things above them.
