Customer Reviews

Glad I purchased this along with the program.

Since I'm fairly new to digital imaging, I purchased this book to help me get thru learning the Photoshop Elements 6.0. I absolutely think it has helped a lot, mainly because it puts things in simpler terms for someone like me.

Excellent book
Very well layed out to give you a good overview of the software. Examples show clearly how to get the the best out of the tools to enhance your pictures.

Photoshop Elements 6
Book is okay but using the Adobe Elements web page showing "how to" videos is much easier to understand. Also Adobe offers a $79 video workshop which is worth the money if you want to learn. I probably would not buy the book again.
