2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as "The Missing Manual" Book, March 14, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Photoshop Elements 6 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)
I spent a considerable period of time with this book. I never got a good feel for the program and was confused by several chapters. The concept of the organizer should be laid out closer to the beginning of the book. Similarly, the "quick edit" and "guided edit" features should be covered earlier. In contrast, the Missing Manual is much better written, has examples on the web, and gives a better feel for the program. I usually like the "Dummies" book, but this one wasn't written as well as most. I think The Missing Manual can be seen on line for free for 45 days.

3.0 out of 5 stars Surprise, February 18, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Photoshop Elements 6 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)
I was surprised at the complexity of this "Dummies" book. It is not for dummies! But maybe Photoshop Elements 6 is not for dummies either. Chapter 3 "Working with resolutions, Color Modes, and File Fomats" is very difficult to understand. I chose this book because the program itself offers very little help and although there are other books available, I figured dummies was about my speed since I already own 9 other dummies booksPhotoshop Elements 6 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)).

This review is from: Photoshop Elements 6 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)
A much clearer help book than Adobe's own printed manual. The colour photographs were much easier to follow and the text easier to follow.
