In the second of a two part interview covering his two new books, Jeff Carlson turns his attention to Photoshop Elements 10 for Windows and Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide, and the latest version of Adobe’s graphics program that brings the power of Photoshop to near mortals. Jeff explains some of the new features in the Organizer to help us all deal with the flood of photos coming from our cameras and iDevices, and some of the legendary Photoshop magic that is more accessible in Elements than in the original program. The book has changed to reflect how people are taking and using photos now as compared to only a few years ago; Jeff talks about those changes, the various editing modes and what they do, and more.
