Don Day, Adobe Systems Inc

"This is one of Andrews' "A-Z" books, it is not a tutorial book, but a quick reference for the tools and features Elements 4.0 has to offer...Photoshop Elements is no longer an elementary or simple program, it has become a advanced and complete photo editing and photo-managing program making this a necessary desktop resource for digital photographers." - Apogee Photo Magazine, August 2006

This review is from: Elements Bundle: Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 A to Z: Tools and features illustrated ready reference (Paperback)

Philip Andrews has written a lot of books for the users of Photoshop and they are by all means "well explained&illustrated".
As no other he knows what "teaching" is and his latest Adobe Ph Elements 4 A to Z confirms my opinion.
You 'll find everything about the software in an alphabetical order with a lot of examples in this book.
It's a continuous reminder when you hesitate about some features working on some photographs or compositions.His style is clear,efficient and above all practical.
Even for owners of other tutorial books or intermediate users this book is very useful;a good investment if you want to improve your skills.It can be used by owners of previous versions of the software too.Buy it and you won't regret it!!

This review is from: Elements Bundle: Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 A to Z: Tools and features illustrated ready reference (Paperback)

I found that this book was easy to follow and there are plenty of examples for new users plus some new ones for more advanced users. The book is laid out nicely and every project/task is easy to follow. It's not one of those huge 4 or 500 page books that sometimes can be confusing when trying to find help or advice on a particular task. It is one book I've been using a lot lately and will continue using for quick reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 - reference book, March 10, 2007

This review is from: Elements Bundle: Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 A to Z: Tools and features illustrated ready reference (Paperback)

It is a good reference book, but would not advice it for a teaching manual. Since everything is listed in alphabetical order, it really can not be used for your main educational tool in learning how to use the software.
