Photoshop Elements 15 Manual - User Guide - which one?

Hi,

Now that I have Photoshop Elements 15 running, anyone have any recommendations as to which manual to get/

I downloaded the Adobe pdf that is offered but often a third party manual is actually better.
Prefer a hard copy.

Any suggestions?

ABS Brakes suck

OK so I should know better than to drive a mini-van with summer tires in winter, but it does have ABS brakes and the forecast was good.

Anyways driving home in a snow storm. Crested a steep hill at a very conservative 60KPH. For what ever reason the snow had been piling up in this one location and there were ten trucks at a standstill attempting to come uphill.

Realizing there might be drivers out of their vehicles I did what we are instructed to do and pressed hard on the brakes. Nice straight line, I could feel various wheels locking and unlocking but zero change in speed. Reverted to driving mountain driving 101, put it in neutral and pumped brakes hard and fast. Had it down under 40K before passing the first truck. At that point I could have easily stopped or swerved had the need arisen.

BTW it is front wheel drive and attempting to downshift could easily have allowed the rear end to pass the front. Neutral allowed for better braking with no loss of control.

Moral spend the money on good snow tires and forget ABS altogether. An expensive useless option.

FWIW our other car has snow tires but no ABS and would have easily slowed with just a light application of the brakes.

Apple Shareholders Overwhelmingly Reject Diversity Proposal

Quote:

Apple shareholders rejected a proposal yesterday that would have required the company to improve the diversity of its top ranks. This is the second year in a row that Apple shareholders have shot down the proposal, with just over 95 percent of the vote opposing it this time around — slightly more than last year. The proposal, submitted by shareholders Tony Maldonado and Zevin Asset Management, asked Apple to “adopt an accelerated recruitment policy ... to increase the diversity of senior management and its board of directors." Maldonado and Zevin had argued that Apple’s upper ranks were responding too slowly to the company’s own diversity initiatives and that it would ultimately come back to bite them, be it through missing talent or new opportunities. “THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF A LONG BATTLE.” Though Maldonado didn’t expect the initiative to pass, he was looking to hit at least 6 percent of the vote this year, which would have allowed him to try again in 2018. He missed the target — and one reason why may be that Apple itself encouraged shareholders to reject the proposal. “Apple basically duped the investors, to be quite honest,” Maldonado told The Verge in a phone call today. “They conned ’em to say, ‘Look, we're on top of it. Don’t worry about it. Everything’s fine.’ However, I believe that shareholders don’t have all information as to the background of the issue.”

More on The Verge.

Wow! The iPhone 7 is really nice!

I was checking out the jet black iPhone 7 today. I wish I hadn't!! I was comparing the display to my iPhone 6. Definitely more vivid and an improvement in color saturation.

I watched a lot of video reviews hoping someone would do a thorough comparison with the two displays, but I never did see anyone do that.

Anyway, I was impressed. The display itself seems to be closer to the glass as well.. as if it's part of the glass. I didn't think it was possible to get it any closer, yet there it was.

I just wish it wasn't so freakin expensive. I can't justify spending $1000+ on a cellphone.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 8 is going to be spectacular, and will likely be $1200-1300 knowing Apple. Pretty close to what the MacBook Pro used to cost. Insane.

OK, now the problems.
Screen has some weird distortions along the left and right edges (maybe 5mm depth each side) - it doesn't appear to be a vid card problem. The fans are a bit noisy, but otherwise this machine has been a workhorse.

Local pickup near the beaches.
