From the Editor
I have to admit that one of my favorite sections in many magazines is the Q&A column. I don't know why- I'm just a Q&A type of guy, I guess. Well, I'm happy to report that we have a brand new column in Photoshop Elements Techniques. Can you guess what it covers? You got it...Q&A. - Matt Kloskowski, Editor-in-Chief.
