Once you have the perfect image, chances are you’re going to want to show other people your work. Photoshop Elements allows you to do this in a number of ways, whether by printing the image using a local inkjet printer, sending via email or placing on a web site or image hosting service. How you decide to ‘output’ the image will determine how you save it, what format, what quality settings, what size! You’ll need to know how to balance out the quality of the final image and achieve manageable file sizes for your output criteria all at the same time.

Effects and filters can be used to correct or complement an image or individual layer by changing pixels in a predefined manner, subject to the controls inside the selected effect or filter. Photoshop Elements has a wealth of these, allowing you maximum control to warp, twist, blur and distort until your heart’s content. This also brings us to the subject of sharpening – itself a filter – that brings the image into tighter focus by making details within the image stand out. It’s something that every image needs, and every image benefits from.

We’ll also employ the move tool to move selected elements around, the transform controls to resize the gorilla, and layer blending options to make the composition as realistic as possible.
