5.0 out of 5 stars Andrews' Book Appeals to Both Novice and Experienced PS-E7 Users, May 20, 2009
This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Elements 7: A Visual Introduction to Digital Photography (Paperback)
I have been a Photoshop Elements user since Version 2. While my artistic photography is strictly film-based (I am a large-format B&W specialist), I have used Photoshop Elements for many years when scanning and preparing my images for my web site [...] and other marketing and publicity activities. Over the past several years, Photoshop Elements has grown considerably in its power, and now contains many of the features traditionally reserved for the professional version of Photoshop. Philip Andrews' new book, Adobe Photoshop Elements 7, walked me through all of the new features in a clear and concise way, and is organized so that I can easily select specific subjects without sequentially reading all of the material before. This makes the book ideally suited for someone like me who has some basic knowledge, but needs to come up to speed on the new Elements features. However, the book also contains all of the step-by-step information for someone who is new to digital photography, organized in such a way that they can read as much or as little as they need, depending upon their existing knowledge. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to both the beginner and advanced amateur.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Photoshop Cookbook, July 23, 2009
By 
This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Elements 7: A Visual Introduction to Digital Photography (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
If you have Photoshop Elements 7 you owe it to yourself to get a cookbook like this one. I call them cookbooks because they go through all the steps to get the desired outcome with your photos. Although PE7 has better instructions included then previous versions, its nice to not have to go back and forth between the help section and your photo. This book is geared toward the beginner but includes more advanced techniques too. If you are just using PE7 in the autofix mode check out this book and unleash all the tools that are easy to use once you know they are there and how to get to them. Excellent book, highly recommend to anyone with PE7.
