In Photoshop you can assign a profile (ICC or ICM) to an image. You can also covert the image to a working space profile such as Adobe RGB. Is there a way to do this in PE1 or PE2?
You can make assignment of profiles in Elements. It isn't done the same as in Photoshop because some of the process is complicated by the way Elements wrests control from your hands. However, as I have outlined in my book ( The Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements 2 ), you can work around this by changing the color management preferences while an image is open. This allows for both manual implementation of color profiling and the more automated sort.
Are you using PE1 or PE2? What' your experience so far? If you used full version of Photoshop before, how do you compare your experience/results of PE vs PS?
I started wtith PE1, and upgraded to PE2 when it came out.
I've been working with it almost a year now, and it seems like I've just scratched the surface of what all can be done with it. I've worked on my own, along with getting several books that have really helped, noteably Richard's and "50 Fast Digital Photo Techniques", along with "Photoshop Restoration and Retouching."
I never had PS, but from what I've read in magazines and forums, the results (unless you are do very serious work for magazines or other large-scale publication) seem to be the same. In fact, some things in PE (like photomerge) I have heard do not exist in PS (probably in the next version?). With what was in PE, along with Richard's disk and book, I feel that I can accomplish most anything that I want to do with photos. Maybe in 4-5 years I'll want more (though I doubt it).
I have never tried it with PE1. However, I know from what's stated in the book and from other threads in other forums that the book and the CD are designed for use within both PE1 and PE2.
I'm using Hidden Power with PE1. So far, I have found nothing that doesn't work with this version.
The book is much more than just instructions on using the tools; it is also explains the theory and processes involved, so that you understand what you are doing.
For April Hidden Power is releasing a new Hidden Power Elements newsletter (Volume 15), a new 100 tool Power Tools set (for Mac and PC), a new Hidden Power book for Elements 4 (also Mac and PC), and a new 8-week internet class on the Elements Workflow. See more on each of these below...
Hi there!
The Hidden Power book for PSE 5 was at first scheduled for release in dec 2006, then in january 2007. The book is still not published. It seems that the author, Richard Lynch, is occupied with other projects, that are probably of greater importance.
Meanwhile the time is running....
Hi everyone.
I'm also waiting for the book for PSE 5 to be published.
I still haven't read all of the PSE 4 book though.
I have managed to make the tools for the PSE 4 book run with PSE 5 without any difficulties. The thumbnails for the tools are missing in PSE 5, but I can live...
Does the installation of Hidden Power Tools change the standard menu commands in PE2? I was trying to check to make sure I had turned off any color management in PE2 and I cannot find the Edit>Color Settings command any more. Or has my copy of PE2 been corrupted? Thanks.
First, I would like to say that I love Richard Lynch's books, websites, and knowledge for unlocking the hidden aspects of photoshop elements! I have great interest in the book, "The Hidden Power of Elements 4," for both the supporting text and the 100+ plus actions...
