 Difficult to read white text on grey background August 27, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have previously purchased Scott Kelby's books on Photoshop CS and Elements 5 for Digital Photographers. Both books are very well done and easy to follow. However, I just recently purchased Elements 6 plus Scott's book on Elements 6, and am very disapointed to see that the example windows shown in the book are grey background with white text just like what you see on your monitor, but they are much smaller and it is impossible to read the text without a magnifying glass. Areas where you are supposed to click on the windows are circled in red, but you can't read the text to see what you are clicking on. Using this grey background with white text is a stupid blunder by Adobe, not everyone using these programs has 20/20 vision and a large monitor like the geeks designing the system. We gave the Photoshop Elements 6 program and Scott's book to a young friend of ours who has much better vision than I do. She has since commented that it is difficult for her to see also since she has a laptop computer, but she will try to get used to it. I will not buy any further Adobe products that use this grey and white bit.
 GREAT Book to Learn Photoshop August 16, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book dives right into HOW to do things with Photoshop - complete with pictures on every page. If you go through the book and practice some of the things a few times, you'll learn everything a beginner needs to learn - in a fun and hands-on way.
The book also spends some time going over how to use the organizer, which is very important for any photographer.
What the book does NOT tell you is what every single function does - because there are so many advanced functions in photoshop. So, if you are looking for a dictionary on Photoshop's functions - this book is not for you.
Photoshop Elements 6 Book For Digital Photographers August 15, 2008

This was an extremely well written book. Scott Kelby is very knowledgable and shares with his readers in a humorous way. I thoroughly enjoy reading anything he writes. I highly recommend this purchase.

Scott and his co-writer have produced a tutorial book that is not only easy to understand and use, but also fun to use.
Excellent Book - Great, Step-by-Step Tips August 9, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I've been using P.E. now for month or two, but this book really gives you step-by-step solutions for many corrections that you have been doing but perhaps not so well or easily. And they will show you how to do some things that you haven't thought of doing.
Well worth the money. The instructions are clear, and the examples are perfect.
