Elements to PS

[JennieLennon]

Hi Damien, do you have any resources that will help me make the switch from Elements to PS CC or do I just need to take all the classes again?  Thanks!

Only Levels, and you're already in that one.  Go to the Table of Contents, and read Section 2, Module 2.

Raw is still raw, and sharpening is still sharpening, there is no difference between Elements and Photoshop (although I urge you to take Sharpening again, because the new module will blow your mind.)

The best best BEST thing about Photoshop is that you now have Bridge.  Watch this video.

Thanks!  I'm a little confused by the differences in the sliders in ACR.  I'm assuming shadows=fill?  Does highlights=recovery?  What is the whites slider for?  And the blacks slider seems to work backwards from how I am used to?  Thanks as always for the help- hope you have a Merry Christmas with your family

 

P.S. I will definitely take the sharpening class again as soon as I can find time!!

Oh!  It's that much of an upgrade?  Then yes, you'll need to take the Raw Class again.

But for now, you can go to the "Camera Calibration" tab and choose "Process 2010" to get the sliders you're used to.
