Customer Reviews

Before you buy this useless book............
This is an updated version of this author's book on PSE6. before you buy it check out my review of the book on PSE6. There are many many better books than this one.

I am a complete beginner with this program and bought this book to help me learn to use it. The book seems to be written by an expert for experts which is pointless as an expert would not need the book. Andrews goes on and on about previous versions of PSE which is pointless for an owner of version 6. He uses the same jargon as the program and doesn't explain what it means. He goes through the tools without saying why you would use them and what for. Simple stuff like how to save edited photos is simply not mentioned.
Since wasting my money on this wretched book I have looked at others in bookshops, like Galer's book and the misssing manual book. While not perfect they do at least EXPLAIN things which is something this book simply doesn't do.
I've given it one star as that is the lowest allowed. It is not worth one star.

elements 7.0
Ifound this book very much like Elemens 6.0 and missed the CD disc which was with Elements 6.0. Not one for doing reviews on items or books, can only give this book a 2 star rating.
