 Very Worthwhile but Do Not Start Digital Photography Here January 8, 2003
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful book for explaining the workings of all the amazing tools available with Photoshop Elements -- and a steal at the bargain Amazon price. (How well you get on with Dummies cutesyness is your business).
However, in general it does not give one an overall sense of what makes for good photography with good image-editing. (Exception: with the blur tool it does explain that this can be used to help increase attention to the foreground). You may not be able to see the wood for the trees if you start here.
As a starting point the best book I have found is Bill Corbett, A Simple Guide to Digital Photography, which covers both taking photos and some important uses of Photoshop (notably the key Levels stuff).
I am taking the liberty of posting this against both versions of the Photoshop Elements Dummies book.
Photoshop Elements For Dummies August 16, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Overall a really good book for learning Photoshop Elements. I was ready to switch to a more user friendly program but this book helped me get started. I would've liked to have had more color examples but it still gave good information on many topics. I will read it again now that I have some basic knowledge to really get into the more complex options available with this program.
 A good book if you can stomach the cuteness April 27, 2002

Deke and Galen have done a good job with this book but, egged on I'm sure by the "dummies" editors, they've made it almost nauseatingly cutsie-pie. A few important things are left out of the index: how to add a border or a caption to your print, for instance. If your stomach can stand the syrupy cuteness though it's a good tutorial and a pretty good reference work.
A really useful book --- for a change. April 26, 2002

This book will simply get you started in Photoshop Elements. In fact, although I've been using the program for a while, I learned usable stuff immediately. It solved some mysteries for me quickly. I recommend it most highly.
Not for Dummies! April 9, 2002
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is amazingly comprehensive-not really for Dummies at all. It starts out very simple, but quickly picks up to explain the program from every angle. But it's always really easy to understand, and fun to read. A great program, and a great book!
