Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Classroom in a Book is the most thorough and comprehensive way for new users to master all the new features in Adobe's consumer-targeted image editing software. Each chapter in this step-by-step, project-based guide contains a project that builds on the reader's growing knowledge of the program, while end-of-chapter review questions reinforce each lesson. Readers will learn the basics of editing their images with Photoshop Elements and will learn how best to use the program's many new features. These new features include amazing photo-blending technology that lets you easily combine facial expressions and body language from a series of group shots to create a single, perfect composite. Those who need help fixing a blemish or creating a scrapbook page can take advantage of new step-by-step assistance. And users can now create photo books with greater ease and flexibility, take advantage of new selection tools, easily stitch together multiple photos to create seamless panoramas, and quickly find the photos they need with the new Smart Albums feature.

This book has been a great help in learning to use the software. My only complaint is that the author ocasionally assumes knowledge which I don't have. Steps are sometimes left out because of this. On the whole, however, it has helped in learning to use the software.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much extraneous stuff., January 17, 2008

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)

For someone basically interested in the handling of digital images, this book is far inferior to something like "Photoshop Elements 6 The Missing Manual."

I, as a Mac user, was quite disappointed in this book. Unlike other editions of "Classroom in a Book" it is written strictly for Windows format Photoshop Elements. For example, "Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and Adobe Acrobat 8" in the Classroom in a Book series have directions for both Windows and Mac machines.

Bottom line is if you are a Mac user this book is not for you.
