The book is exceptionally well organized and is appropriate for the beginner to intermediate user of Elements. A total thumbs up for this one.

Knowledge, Fun & Photoshop Elements
Diane Koers explores the true workings of Elements, in her 300 page, step-by-step instruction book. She guides you through the mission of the Elements Tools, covers the Manipulation of Photographs, with an entire chapter devoted to understanding Color Management. She delves into the art of using Filters and Blending Layers as well as covering the workings of the Organizer and so much more.
In addition to the vast wealth of information she has supplied for using Elements, I found the fact that every page has illustrations and or images, provided a complete understanding of the topic.
A true reference guide, that will sit next to my computer as I explore the amazing world of Photoshop Elements.
