Are you a photographer that uses Photoshop Elements? Do you struggle with how to best utilize all that PSE has to offer when it comes to editing? Don’t even know where to begin and are completely overwhelmed? Do you hear of all this talk about “actions” but not know how to use them in PSE and want to learn? Well, then we have the giveaway for you!
Everyday Elements, one of our fabulous sponsors, offers online workshops designed to help you learn how to use PSE for portrait editing. There are three different levels of classes, and also a class based solely on using actions, so you will definitely find one that meets your needs! Your workshop registration includes a two hour online workshop plus you also receive access to 15+ video tutorials for your level, five custom actions, and access to Amanda for continued assistance after the workshop.
As someone who started out by using Photoshop Elements, I wish I would’ve known about these fabulous workshops last year! You CAN edit beautiful images in PSE and Amanda will teach you how!
Here are some great before and afters of edits that are taught in the Everyday Elements workshops:
The Giveaway: Everyday Elements is giving away a seat in one of their upcoming workshops! Not a PSE user? No worries! If you win, you will receive Amanda’s awesome Deep Clean and Creative Action sets ($30 value)!

I am still wading through all PSE can do, so I’m not sure if I can pick one thing…Maybe how to brighten colors without overdoing it. I would love help in every part of editing! Thank you!

I just started figuring out the world of actions so I am taking any help I can get!!
I’m very new to PSE and photography, I think my greatest struggle right now is over-processing my photos. I go a little too crazy with the actions! I need to learn how to bring out just the best

Ooooh, I struggle with it all. I do most of my editing in Lightroom and have a very limited knowledge of anything Photoshop. I have had Elements for two years and still don’t know how to work with it
I already liked (love!) Everyday Elements. Adding Love That Shot to my likes. My editing struggles? I tend to um, overdo my actions. Need to learn how to edit more cleanly, yet still get that pop that I love.
I’m learning so much lately that I don’t have much struggling with editing. I did struggle with balancing out color and white balance and feel that I still have a lot to learning about each.
I like Everyday Elements on FB!! :0)
