Very infomative,

This review is from: The Photoshop Elements 6 Book for Digital Photographers (Paperback)
Love this book. It has the answers to most of the problems you have with digital photography that you want to fix. Things like something else being in the picture that isn't supposed to be there and taking away flaws in the skin. It gives you the simple way to do these things. I've only had it for 2 days and I've already learned a couple of things I'll use over and over. It even tells you the setting that you need to use as defaults on Elements. The other book I bought with this one "Photoshop Elements 6 the missing manual" is good also but it's so huge. This one goes into more detail on do this and do that. Love it!

This review is from: The Photoshop Elements 6 Book for Digital Photographers (Paperback)
I found the Photoshop Elements x Book for Digital Photographers series of books back with Elements 2 and have purchased a copy of every version since as I've upgraded the software (why can't there be an upgrade price for the hard-copy book too). Scott Kelby and now Mat Kloskowski provide usable techniques that can be applied immediately by anyone with great results.
I also purchased the Missing Manual books for a couple of versions and while I've been satisfied, I notice that when I need some help to correct a photograph, it is to the Photoshop Elements 6 Book for Digital Photographers that I turn. In fact, I would rate the book as five stars, if it was the first version that I purchased. I do find sufficient value to purchase the new editions, but do find it is an incremental value and that the previous edition does cover the majority of the tools that you'd need, so a little less bang for the buck than if this were the only addition that I purchased, hence I've docked it one star for a 4-star rating. The V6 edition adds significantly to the coverage of editing using the RAW editor and provides additional detail on the use of the new sharpening capabilities. The other major difference I've noticed is they've dropped from the hard-copy the chapter on Photo Restoration Techniques that was present in previous editions. They then make it available in .pdf format online as Chapter 14 in a free download. I know some people have found the style a bit wearing at times, but it doesn't disturb me at all and the content more than makes up for the sometimes silly attempts at humor. Over-all great book. If you only purchase one book for use with Photoshop Elements 6, make this that book and you'll be glad you did. Bill Olsen Las Vegas, NV

Photoshop Elements 6 is for BOTH Mac and PC,
By Eric "Eric" (Inverness, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Photoshop Elements 6 Book for Digital Photographers (Paperback)
Before ordering this book I contacted the publisher to see if it was applicable to the just released version of Photoshop Elements 6 for the Mac, as all of the previous books for earlier versions of Elements were PC only. I was informed that sadly it was only for PC's.
Well I ignored the publishers advice and purchased it anyway. And much to my surprise it is for Mac & PC (the first book by this author for both versions of the software). This is not widely advertised and it should be. In addition to references in the book about ways to do both PC and Mac steps, there is an excellent website that accompanies the book. Here you can download all of the photos referenced so that you can actually make the same adjustments on the identical photos shown in the book. There is also a completely re-written chapter 1 for the Mac in PDF that can be downloaded (Macs use Adobe Bridge for downloading and sorting photos - the same as the full version of Photoshop and the printed version of the book does not note this). As for the book, it is excellent. I have used Photoshop 7 (Mac) which unfortunately does NOT run on the latest version of Mac OSX 10.5, so I needed something to replace it. Adobe wanted a small fortune to upgrade my older version of Photoshop (which for me was somewhat of an overkill product anyway). So I purchased Photoshop Elements 6, but needed a good "how to" book to supplement the PDF manual that came with the software. This book is perfect. It skips all of the stuff that is in the manual and goes right to showing you step by step how to do the things you need to do to get your photos perfectly tuned. It provides some advice on proper workflow (which can be quite different for each individual). But most of all it shows you how to correct things like skin tones, blemishes, color balance, etc.. This book compliments perfectly the PDF manual that came with the software (showing what each individual menu item does), and provides a nice self guided way to learn the many, many ways that this complex program can bring out the perfect photo. Highly recommended... Eric
