Looks like I should have never bought this book. They give you the CD, but it ask for a password. I’ve searched the book and cannot locate any reference about a password.
I’m answering this on the newsgroup because it appears that is where you posted — but be aware that newsgroup postings are not echoed to the Adobe forum, which is where most of the regulars hang out, so you may not get much response. If you really want to tap into the expertise, go to www.adobe.com and register — it’s free — for the Photoshop Elements forum. (Forum postings *do* get copied to the newsgroup. Why this one-way portal? Who knows?)
Now as to password: they are listed on page 8 of the
Introduction of Lynch’s book (the pages are not numbered in the Intro, but that should be close enough to get you in the ballpark). They’re in the section that begins with the subhead "The Hidden Power Tools". The passwords vary according to whether you’re installed on a PSE 1 or 2 system and also be careful to note that separate code is available for Windows and Mac platforms.
I’ve had my copy of the book for about four months now and haven’t even tried to install the CD yet. Given another year or two, I might feel I’ve mastered enough of Photoshop Elements that I’m ready to extend its capabilities — but not yet!
