Product Description

This essential guide for intermediate/advanced photographers has now been fully updated for Elements 7.

Bestselling author and Elements guru Philip Andrews turns his expansive knowledge to this powerful application, delivering, once again, a practical approach in a crystal-clear writing style.

For the advanced Elements user, this book offers a standalone guide to advancing knowledge of the software. For those with a little less experience, it works seamlessly in conjunction with Philip's other Elements guide: "Adobe Photoshop Elements 7: A visual introduction to digital photography". Philip expands on the solid foundation delivered by that title to deliver a master-guide that shows you just how powerful this deceptively simple software package can be.

Throughout the book, Philip takes a pro's approach, emphasising a streamlined, non-destructive workflow. Diverse chapters cover the entire spectrum of photographic potential offered by the software, including key areas such as: darkroom techniques, advanced selection techniques, professional retouching, photo restoration, panoramas, collages, RAW processing and printing. Additionally, the content is supplemented by extra great learning tools available on a brand new website including; downloadable resources, and Elements vodcasts.

Essential reading for all photographers using Elements 7.

Customer Reviews

The best of the bunch possibly
I have this manual plus the ones from Scott Kelby and Barbara Brundage. I would say that this is the best one to get if you want a clear and well presented manual on PSE7. The Kelby is also good but it is not exactly a manual i.e. it has a list of everything pretty much that you might want to do and then tells you exactly how to do it. I never look at the Brundage one since getting this one from Phillip Andrews which is very much superior in every way (even the paper quality).

Advanced Photoshop Elements 7 for Digital Photographers
An excellent and well written book highlighting the changes to this version of Photoshop Elements. It also contains the key features that have made this series of books by Philip Andrews so useful for the Digital Photographer whether he or she is an amateur or a professional.

A Master Class from a Master
Philip Andrews is highly respected by Adobe, this publication like all of his other shows why.
Easy to follow, easy to reference if you're stuck and very comprehensive.
If you value your images and your editing time, this is the one to buy.
