A book worth reading June 24, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I just recently bought this book and hemmed and hawed around as to whether to get this book or the Missing Manual.
I'm glad I went with this book. It is simple and easy to use and it seems to go into detail on some areas, yet missing something on other areas.
By playing around with the program once I've read how to do something, I find I can go further.
I picked up on some helpful hints immediately when I first started reading this book and am keeping my side notes to refer back to.

This gets right to the point in learning Elements 6 and is truly easy reading and right to the point. Very good.
PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 6 FOR DUMMIES June 13, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a great REFERENCE book for Photoshop Elements 6. For me, it's pointless to thoroughly "read" such books from start to finish. Who can effectively recall the tons of accumulated facts in just the opening chapters? I can't, so I just breeze through it, to become famaliar with the contents (without trying to fully understanding how to apply everything I've "scanned"). The real value of this book is it's reference value. Having scanned the book, I found many new techiques I had never imagined. NOW I can turn directly to a particular procedure and the step-by-step procedures walk me through it.
Photography is a great hobby, and digital has opened new ways of creating better photographs. The magic of the darkroom is now available to amatures who have limited time or money to invest. I simply can't (won't) devote the time necessary to equal the accumulated experience of the experts I admire. But I DO pay attention to their expertise via popular magazines and books.
Photoshop Elements 6 is a great tool, and the book, "Photoshop Elements 6 for Dummies," helps me to understand how I may want to manipulate a similar scene, and explains how I can do it.
One more example. A few months ago I also ordered "Understanding Exposure" (revised edition) by Bryan Peterson. This is yet another noteworthy example of a highly respected photographer offering his expertise: Explanations of how he captured stunning photographs are accompanied by his OWN GREAT examples. My point is simple, amatures can capture great photographs if you are willing to arm ourselves with the advice of the masters. Owning the best equipment in the world is meaningless if you don't know how to use it.
 How Accurate? June 9, 2008
1 out of 7 found this review helpful
How accurate can it be when it states that Adobe stopped supporting Mac? They may have had a lull, but PSE6 is available for Mac too. Otherwise these are good series of books.
