Brilliant for beginners
I have been meaning to get to grips with Elements for ages but found most of the huge, wordy text books daunting. This one is different. For every task there is a step by step process to follow. The explanations are clear and the illustrations helpful. Some people may find it too basic and simplistic but it has got me started and covers everything from getting photo's into Elements, organising, editing, enhancing, adding text, saving, printing and backing up. I'm glad I bought it.

Great book
A great book. Photoshop elements confused me, but, I have now managed to sort all my photos and for someone who is confused by technical jargon, I think this book is good.

Teach Yourself Visually Abode Photoshop Elements 6
If I was confused before I bought the book, I am even more confused now. I have a headache trying to do some of the things in this book. I think it might take me a month to figure it all out and that is if I do?? I don't think that this books is as clear and easy as it looks. Maybe I am visually impaired??
