 The Good, Bad, and the Ugly March 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Photoshop Elements 5 by Scott Kelby has some great features. First let me say I have only gotten to the third chapter before Amazon asked for a review.The "Good" is that this book is very easy to follow. Mr. Kelby has laid out the instructions so a first timer can easy follow them. Not only that, but he has created a web site where you can download the examples he uses in the book. This is fantastic and much appreciated touch!You do the corrections just as he does and learn by doing. The "Bad" is that it took me an hour to figure out how to download into "Elements" (my fault?...maybe I am 66 and may be slow on details).
The ugly is that some moves are either not explained in enough detail or Adobe has released several versions of Elements 5 w/ very small changes which don't correspond to the book.
What you really want to know, would I recommend this book? YES WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!!
Excellent learning course March 22, 2008

This book is an excellent tool for an amateur digital photographer who is new to PhotoShop but willing to make the best use of it. It is a course that takes the reader step by step via all of the program's features and links them together in order to make them useful.
This book is worth it's price!
Perfect Straightforward Photoshop Book! February 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is so great. It's straightforward. It doesn't go into general Photoshop ideas - it's about specific things you want to do to your photos. It says "Sharpening" and has several things to do to sharpen your photos. Each method has clear and to the point directions. The author adds his two cents saying which method usually works better and other such things. The best part is that it's straightforward and easy to flip to any page if you want something done specifically - you don't have to go looking through paragraphs and paragraphs to find what you want. This method is great because you may flip through the book and find something new you may not have searched for or thought about before. It's great :)
Good details of features February 15, 2008
I'm about 1/2 way through this book and learning a lot of differnt things that I haven't done in Elements yet. My first challenge was to layer and then I played with filters, I like how this book digs beyond those two things and gives other features and benefits of the software. I LOVE Scott's personality too...makes the reading not boring.
essential learning tool! January 24, 2008
This book made my first day with elements 5 easy. It explains everything that you would need to do. I suggest getting this book and reading the entire thing to really get a grasp on the complexity of elements.
