Photoshop Elements was designed for digital photography. In reality, Elements is the best and only software you need for digital scrapbooking. But to use the software, you need to have a computer and other obvious and not-so-obvious computer hardware and peripherals.

This book is a practical guide to understanding and using those peripherals for home photography, scrapbooking, and other crafts. Digital equipment such as digital cameras, scanners, and printers are some of the most powerful tools ever invented for communicating and preserving memories. But they often seem so complicated. This book demystifies all the technical terminology and numbers that surround digital equipment and guides you through purchasing decisions. It includes tech-support tricks for maintaining the hardware and shows you how to use digital equipment to make the most of your scrapbooking time. The projects included in the book are great starting points for digital scrapbooking. Remember, you aren’t replacing scissors and glue, but rather you’re adding new tools to your toolkit and new ways to archive your memories. Using a computer is still traditional scrapbooking—you just save time and money.
