 Not for Intermediate Photoshop Users August 21, 2007

I have been using Photoshop Elements 2.0 for a few years now. I consider myself fairly adept with the program and have already familarized myself with all the tools. However, every time one of my graphically inclinded friends sits down with the program, they seem to be able to create their desired manipulations faster and better than I can. I was hoping with the help of this book I would get better at using the tools I had already been using - making me a more efficent and affective user.
Unfortunately, this was not the book for me. This book does a good job of explaining what each of the tools do and how to use them. As another reviewer already stated, it's like using the help section but in print form. The book is easy enough to follow (though it may be a little overwhelming if you're brand new to any kind of graphical software). If you're trying to figure out what everything in the program does, this book is definitely a viable option. However, if you're looking for a book to help you improve using the tools you've already been using, this book will be of little use to you.
This book is exactly what it says it is "A visual introduction to digital imaging". Even though the it was not useful to me, I cannot fault it for not being more than the title claims hence the 4/5 stars rating.

This book has been very helpful in learning more about Photoshop Elements 2 than just basics. I would reccomend it

This book is definitely not an introduction to digital imaging. What it is, a well organized and illustrated book listing the features of Photoshop Elements and what can be accomplished with it. This book is not something you can follow to perform various digital manipulations. In fact I believe that it is no better than using the help section of the program, which comes free with the program! After trying the book I found free material on several web sites that had good detailed steps to follow. this book should offer typical cases with step by step instructions.

I am only in my teens but my dad got a copy of photoshop elements, a digital camera and and this book. I found it great to start of with and it has helped me gain great marks on all my assignments. I reccomend to all beginners who are starting of with photoshop elements.

It was the second book I had bought to learn elements. It hit the mark. Perfect. Lots of illustrations, lots of color, and not too much verbosity. A picture IS worth a thousand words. A web site provided has all the pictures available to "play with."
This book has given me a tremendous grasp of Elements in an extremely short time. Philip Andrews has done an incredible job. There may be more for me to learn in Elements but this is without a doubt the best introduction I have found. Before purchasing I thumbed through many books which left me cold. Philip's book truly gets you up and going quickly.
