5.0 out of 5 stars This book's a winner, January 8, 2006
This review is from: Photoshop Elements 4 Solutions: The Art of Digital Photography (Paperback)
Previously, I was using Elements 3 and depended on the Adobe manual. Now, after upgrading to Elements 4, I decided to look for a book. I had several criteria in mind; it had to have step-by-step examples including the example images, it had to be concise with no fluff and it had to cover all of the new features. This book exceeded my expectations.

I wanted to apply the new pan and zoom effect to my slide shows and after following the book's example, I can now do it on my own.

Also, I received a new digital camera for Xmas that can save images in the RAW format. This book showed me how to edit them.

I'm one happy camper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Minor Update, March 15, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Photoshop Elements 4 Solutions: The Art of Digital Photography (Paperback)
This edition of Photoshop Elements 4 Solutions is a disappointment. It is basically the same book as the Elements 3 book without the Mac information. There is little new. Even some new features of 4 are not covered at all such as "Defringe" even though it is mentioned on the back cover. If you have the 3 edition do not waste your money on this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Elements enthusiasts, January 8, 2006
This review is from: Photoshop Elements 4 Solutions: The Art of Digital Photography (Paperback)
Mikkel Aaland's new book provides excellent coverage of all the new Elements 4 features including step-by-step examples. These examples include the new Pan and Zoom slide show feature, Magic Extractor, Skin Tones Adjustment, RAW image support, improved Color Management and more. Another nice feature is that example images are provided for all of the exercises.

Photoshop Elements integrates well with Premiere Elements and if you want to take advantage of this to put your slide show or multiple slide shows on a DVD, this book is for you. If you don't plan on using Premiere Elements, the book includes instructions for creating a DVD without it. Also, if you want to turn a single slide into a collage of several images, the book shows you how.

I've skimmed through many of the other Elements 4 books before choosing this one, and after going through the first half of the book, I can't wait for the second half.
