Digital Basics - Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for Photographers - page 3

Animated Gallery
The internet has transformed the
way that photographers display
their photos. Now a photographer
without a website is like a musician
who never plays to an audience. As
the net has matured, so too have
our expectations about what
constitutes a good web gallery. The
simple set of thumbnails followed
by a larger gallery image design
simply doesn't cut it anymore. In its
place are animated galleries
ranging from page-turning topics
to flying postcards. Thankfully
Elements provides a simple
workflow for creating such
dynamic sites.

Phone Folio
With high resolution screens, stereo
output and processors powerful
enough to display full screen video,
smart phones are fast becoming
the portable folio of choice for
professional photographers. But
posting your folios to your phone is
not as simple as copying from
desktop to portable. There are a
range of settings that need to be
considered if folios are to be
displayed smoothly and in high
quality. Rather than spending time
testing different settings, Premiere
Elements provides single click
workflow for porting your pictures
to your phone.

DVD Presentation
Big screen TVs provide big
opportunities for photographers to
have their images proudly
displayed in lounge rooms
throughout the country. A CD/DVD
based slideshow is the 21st century
equivalent of the photo album. If
you have a computer with a writer
attached, then Photoshop Elements
has several ways to get your photos
to disk quickly and easily. See
Chapter 5 for a step-by-step guide
about how to create your own DVD
presentations.

A good selection of video tutorials can also be found on
this site, giving me the chance to guide you personally
through your skills-building tasks. You will find a web
icon (like this one ) placed throughout the topic to
identify when such web content is available.
