Hello,
Using CS3 I am attempting to follow a tutorial written for Elements for converting a Photo to a Watercolour, but I get stuck when there is a step to use the menu choice "Enhance-Adjust Colour-Remove Colour" as I cannot find anywhere the "Enhance" menu, or one that seems to fit the need. Can someone point me in the right direction please.
TIA
Len

Len,

This is on the same page where you added this topic:

Note: please do not post Photoshop Elements questions here. Thanks!

You’re more likely to get answers in the Elements forum. Few folks here are familiar with Elements.

Did it occur to you that many of the commands in Elements are different from those in Photoshop?

Why did you not seek out a proper Photoshop tutorial?

If we could see the tutoreial we might attempt a translation. A wild guess is that Image>Adjustments>Desaturate is what you are looking for, but I could be way off.

You must realize that none of us have used Elements.

I did try to find a tutorial for photoshop but to no avail they all seemed to point to Elements but the illustration it showed was the effect i wanted to achieve.
I have not used Elements either, that might have given me the clues. I hoped that someone seeing the instruction given might have helped, with other users expert use of PS, to perhaps be able to prompt me with another direction although on first thought desaturate seems to fit the need i have reason to believe that the Enhance menu in Elements contains quite a few more commands.
I always believed that Elements was the little brother of PS, that gave me the reason for posting here, but there is more to it it seems.

There is a sound reason for the admonition on this forum’s main page:

Note: please do not post Photoshop Elements questions here. Thanks!

Elements is to Photoshop what a skateboard is to a Ferrari.

No, I didn’t think you were deaf, Len, only that you might have difficulty reading smaller type.

It was a Photoshop question. He’s using Photoshop. The trouble is the tutorial is written for Elements.
