The manual for Elements 3 really does not exist. The lack of one is a source of constant complaints from Elements 3 users. There are a few really good books that take the place of the "missing manual" (this is actually the title of one of the books), but unfortunately they are not free.

Adobe publishes one called "Classroom in a Book" that comes pretty close to a "manual." There are others many consider better.

The Help files are better than the manual.


There are a ton of books which will be more useful than the manual.

Recommend getting Adobe Elements Classroom in a Book (Adobe Press) to cover the most used components.

A very good book is the Organize Your Photos with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=UH0mvCkAHy&isbn=0321246969&itm=12) by Michael Slater. It primarily covers the unique components found only in Elements (not in Creative Suite series of products).
