Photoshop Elements 5 (PSE5)

I'm learning SO MUCH about this program by just jumping in and fiddling around. I've worked on some more of Katie's photos and have printed them out onto glossy 4x6 prints and have them spread out on the living room floor for analyzing.

I'm about to kick the yellow ink cartridge, so I MUST get to Staples for more in the next 48 hours. I'm also using the Staples glossy photo plus 4x6 paper and must say that I'm quite pleased. It will work well for home prints and proofs for friends/family.

So what have I learned?

-to erase "blemishes"

-how to use the dodge and burn tools

-how to crop and angle a photo

-how to make my black and white backgrounds clean

-to to make black and white photos pop

Here are some applied examples of what I have learned (final product only):
