Here is a source for a set of neat PhotoShop and Elements plug-ins. Go to:
http://www.vicanek.de/
The site is hosted and the plug-ins are developed by Martin Vicanek.
I've tried six of them and they are all six well worth using as needed. He provides an on-line tutorial for each. Check out the tutorial to see if the selected plug-in will suite your needs.
They cover such tasks as distracting wire/cable removal from images with out any undue effort. Contrast refinement and color picking with simple user interfaces. Chek it out and don't forget that Adobe Elements uses the same image handling engine as the full version of PhotoShop and as such can use most if not all plug-ins developed for the larger parent version.
Did I mention that They are free?
