editing workflow

[muskokan]

I have a friend who is a first time PSE user. she has purchased PSE 14 for photo editing in preparation for printing.

Can anyone recommend a good source of a workflow outline?
She is the type of learner who appreciates a manual but I undrstand there will not be a Missing Manual for 14.

So far she has used some of the basic tools. We found the Adobe site good for information about specific tools, but no search results were found for "editing workflow". I am sure there must be some best practices that it would be helpful for her to begin using at the start.

Hope there are some experienced users who can give some advice or references.

Your friend will do just fine with The Missing Manual for Elements 13. There haven't been substantial changes between Elements 13 and 14.

Hi muskokan !

I agree with Sepiana , you really can't go wrong with The Missing Manual for Elements 13.  That would be my first recommendation too.  It is so well cross-referenced that I don't worry about losing important connections.

I was quite lost when I started with Elements (version 7 at the time). Searching the Web at large was difficult to get relevant results. The Missing Manual is one of the things that helped me the most. We may have a tendency to forget about the manual itself, which I personally find is quite a valuable resource, available for free as a PDF at helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/topics.html. My subscription to Photoshop Elements Technique was also great for me. www.photoshopelementsuser.com/ .
