INSTRuCTOR NOTES
Point out the associated menu commands in both the menu bar and the separate
panel options menus.
Encourage students to experiment in order to increase their productivity and
enjoyment by personalizing the flexible Full Edit workspace to suit their own work-
ing preferences.
sharing photos in e-mail
Intended to provide a satisfying hands-on exercise after a largely theoretical lesson
for those using the book as a self-paced tutorial; this exercise is optional at this
point in the classroom situation.
Depending on your lesson schedule and whether your students have Internet access
in class, you might have them complete this section at home or perhaps combine it
with other exercises on sharing photos in Lesson 5.
Getting photos from a digital camera or card reader
Your students may or may not be prepared with a camera or memory card reader,
but will still be able to follow the different options for importing images. If students
have come to class unprepared, don’t worry too much—this process is reiterated in
Lessons 2 and 3. You may wish to plan ahead so that you can ask students to pre-
pare by capturing sample photos that will suit the requirements of those exercises.
creating an Adobe ID and Photoshop.com account
Again, this section may be best completed by students at home where they will
have time to explore. In class, it’s probably best to simply mention Adobe’s online
services and briefly outline the benefits of Elements membership.
using Help and additional resources
Rather than treat this as a classroom exercise, focus on pointing out the interface
elements involved—the Help menu, links to help in the application, Tool tips and
the Hot-linked Tips found throughout the Photoshop Elements interface.
Refer students to the list at the end of the Getting Started chapter, and encourage
them to explore online Help, Community Help, and online support and learning
resources at home.
