This is a great book. I have been using Photoshop Elements for 3 or 4 years and have taken several classes, and gone through a few basic books on using it. I had been looking into plug-ins which would provide lighting effects. By going through this book, I have discovered how to do all the things I wanted to do. This book describes them clearly and step by step. It's given me information that I couldn't find anywhere else, and explained how to do all the lighting effects I wanted. I find that I don't need a plugin after all, I can do everything I want with elements now that I know how.

I am having so much fun with this book. I have never read one of these Lark Photography Books, and sorry it took so long to find it. He has EXACT directions for each project--so anyone could follow them--and the effects are so dramatic. My favorite one so far, is "putting my car on fire"--really neat. Actually you could apply it to most objects...and this is just ONE of his techniques...I say, "MAKE IT THE NEXT BOOK YOU BUY" You will not be sorry.

This is a interesting book. The author has lighting tricks that I've not seen anywhere else. I've tried a few, just to get my feet wet. I haven't used any in a real project yet.
