Book Description

December 22, 2008 0240521587 978-0240521589 1
This essential guide for intermediate/advanced photographers has now been fully updated for Elements 7.

Bestselling author and Elements guru Philip Andrews turns his expansive knowledge to this powerful application, delivering, once again, a practical approach in a crystal-clear writing style.

For the advanced Elements user, this book offers a standalone guide to advancing knowledge of the software. For those with a little less experience, it works seamlessly in conjunction with Philip's other Elements guide: "Adobe Photoshop Elements 7: A visual introduction to digital photography". Philip expands on the solid foundation delivered by that title to deliver a master-guide that shows you just how powerful this deceptively simple software package can be.

Throughout the book, Philip takes a pro's approach, emphasising a streamlined, non-destructive workflow. Diverse chapters cover the entire spectrum of photographic potential offered by the software, including key areas such as: darkroom techniques, advanced selection techniques, professional retouching, photo restoration, panoramas, collages, RAW processing and printing. Additionally, the content is supplemented by extra great learning tools available on a brand new website including; downloadable resources, and Elements vodcasts.

Essential reading for all photographers using Elements 7.

* Advanced guide to Elements, the natural sequel to the bestselling 'Adobe Photoshop Elements 6'
* Written by Philip Andrews, world-renowned Photoshop elements expert
* Takes a professional approach to this industry-standard software, with a core focus on nondestructive editing throughout

A nice surprise January 21, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
With no customer reviews available I decided to take a flyer and buy this book based on the author's long experience with Elements. I have bought books from all the major authors in the past (Kelby, Sheppard, Grey, Willmore, Hinkel, etc.)all excellent authors. I use CS3, Nikon Capture NX2, and Photomatix Pro 3 (and Lightroom in the past) for post processing, but deciding not to upgrade to CS4 or Lightroom, I bought Elements 7 and needed one book and only one.

I found that one book. It is comprehensive, loaded with instructional photos, and explains things in a clear and understandable way. It also has chapters on general photography issues (histograms, scanning, workflows, etc). It even has a chapter on photo restoration which I do a lot of.

So, if you're willing to put the time in, you'll learn a lot about using Elements 7 and general photo issues. It is 448 pages long, indexed well, and printed well.

Beginners should look elsewhere, but intermediate level photographers willing to go the next step will be very pleased with this learning opportunity.

Note: I do not know the author. This is a completely self-motivated review.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I've been using several different Photoshop Elements books and except for the "Dummies..." series, I found all of them great, including this one. This book is different from the other popular Photoshop Elements books in that the topics discussed are for more advanced Photographers, not so much for advanced Photoshop users. I think this is an important distinction. I initially thought the book was to teach advanced Photoshop techniques, but the photoshop techniques themselves are not "advanced" or difficult. The topics would only seem difficult to a novice photographers who still have a lot to learn about photography, not Photoshop. You still will not be able to use this book to become an advanced Photoshop user for graphic design, in which there may not be any photos to edit, but your imagination in using Photoshop for design or illustration.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Anybody who does serious work with digital photography has felt the pressure to splurge and buy the fully featured Photoshop. Indeed, I have bought more than one copy in the past. However, after reading this book and exploring all the different techniques that are available to those who have the MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE Photoshop Elements, I do not know that I will ever buy another full version of Photoshop. Elements is capable of editing all the same images that its big brother is and by building certain kinds of macro commands, one can really expedite the editing process. This book is clear, easy to understand, accessible to even a beginner and can help you save a lot of money by teaching you to do more with less expensive, and often simpler software.

This is not to say that nobody needs the more expensive software, but most of us can get by quite nicely with a little education and a copy of Elements.
