I am a newbie with ps 10, I bought the book Top 100 simplified tips, would there be a better book to get?

I also downloaded some pics to a memory stick, now I have red icons in the top left corner of my photos, is there a easy way to get rid of these icons?

thanks

Sandy

    Reading the Help files is what I did to learn PSE.

     

    When the Help is open, there's an icon in the upper right corner for "View as PDF", then you can save that PDF to your computer for reading and searching. (Do that for both the Editor and the Organizer, since the help files are separate.)

     

    I also found the Adobe TV tutorials very helpful:

    http://tv.adobe.com/product/photoshop-elements/

    You'll want to view the tutorials for PSE8, PSE9, and PSE10 because some of the tools were unchanged and new videos weren't created for the newer versions. When you watch the videos, look to the right of the video viewer -- some of the tutorials have sample files for download so you can practice on the same photos used in the tutorial.

     

    What I've found is that these are the 3 most important things to get comfortable with in PSE:

    1. Making selections.
    2. Using Layers.
    3. Using Masks.

     

    If you have questions, you know where to find us....

     

    The red icons on the thumbnails mean that the files are disconnected.  If your memory stick is not attached to your computer, you'll always see that indication on the thumbnails.
