Just installed this after purchasing my 20D. Is there a manual available online for this or do I have to use the tutorials built in?

I bought Scott Kelby's book, it's very good.

Same here, it doesn't cost much and it's widely available at most local bookstores.

Thanks David I joined the forum earlier.

Have ordered the book so await an Amazon package.

Having just scratched the surface of Elelments today I am so excited. I knew digital photography was going to be fun but this new level of creative control has really got me buzzing!!!!!

And don't forget the 3rd party plugins. Grant Dixon has some for free download. They add a lot to the versatility of Elements. Check the forum for Grant's download site. It's cave something or other.

Likewise! So far I have just listed them on my bookmarks and need many late nights to go throught them. I am just about to order a book on PSE3 and weas going to go for Hidden Power as it has the Curves tool in it but now I know you can get it anyway can anyone recommend a good PSE3 book - I am a relative beginner to PS/PSE but understand all the basics like layers, levels and curves (in principle at least!)
