Photoshop Elements Classic Tutorials By Karen Brockney

[Chris]

Many years ago when I was new to Photoshop Elements, I found the video Tutorials by Karen Brockney very helpful. In those days, they were hosted on the "Alibony" Website which sadly closed some years ago. Since then, Karen has posted all her 75 classic PS Elements tutorials on YouTube. The videos are short and easy to follow. They are a wonderful resource for beginners and also for experienced users. Over the years PS Elements has changed, but the tutorials can still be used with the new versions with a little adapting. For example, now we would prefer to use a layer mask instead of the eraser tool to make part of a layer invisible.

Here is my example from tutorial No. 74, "How to add a fake rainbow".




Kind regards

I remember the Alibony website and back when I was starting out with PSE I learned a lot from her videos also.

I also learned a lot from karenb at Elements Village. Although she hasn't been active here, I hope by tagging her she might see that we haven't forgotten her helpful tuts. Thanks for posting, Chris.

That’s a great rainbow - that Youtube link has a lot of interesting tutorials.  They are basic, so even though they are from 2014, I'm sure most of them can be done with current versions of PSE.

Many of her tutorials can be followed in more recent current versions of Elements. The only problem will be if a tutorial uses a feature that Adobe removed from Elements.

The 3D Transform filter was removed in PSE 8. No alternative provided.

Several features were removed in PSE 12. Alternatives are provided for some.

What features from previous versions are not available in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?
