Customer Reviews

Almost great - but definitely not if you want to do some serious edits
Very good step by step book to use PE7. Each function has very detailed instructions how to use them with clear examples. I'm not giving it 5 stars for 2 reasons: 1. Because some of the illustrations are annoying -there are no many Clip Arts I sometimes feel I am reading a book for 5 year olds and 2. When going through functions, the author only explains the "click", not the shortcuts.
A few months after using the book... I would actually downgrade t by one more star to 3 as the book only scratches the surface and I am now going to buy another guide that helps in doing real photo edit work. I had a great one for v5 "Book for digital photographers", and I hope I can find the same for v7. Everything from that book works for v7, mind you...

Teach Yourself Visually - Adobe Photoshop Elements 7
Excellently illustrated throughout, but I feel that the detail of the text could be improved by being expanded. More detailed explanation is required.

Teach Yourself Visually Photoshop Elements 7
Excellent buy and a very good instructive manual full of colour illustrations with easy to follow instructions.
