3.0 out of 5 stars OK but not quite there, April 26, 2005

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Digital Photography and Photoshop Elements 3 All in One (Paperback)

This book addresses 2 topics, both digital photography and Photoshop Elements 3, doing an average job of each. It's reasonably easy to read, but doesn't quite work for me. I was most keen on the PSE3 section and found the flow odd .... I would have thought after the intro about accessing photos, basic editing would have followed. No, instead there is discussion around line drawings and adding text etc, not closely related to photography.

As most photos are black & white and printed on average quality paper, it is sometimes difficult to appreciate what is happening when following editing of photos.

I was disappointed that it doesn't discuss basic editing of RAW files, nor does it really discuss workflows

Overall, an easy read and an OK/good intro book, not quite hitting the mark

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Digital Photography and Photoshop Elements 3 All in One (Paperback)

The intention is good but the book is spoiled by using gray scale pictures (except for a four page color section out of 700+ pages)which do not illustrate the authors results. One bright note, the author does explain the basics tools and features of PhotoShop Elements clearly but the lack of color detracts too much to make this book worthwhile. There are a lot of books on the subject which do an admirable job and this one comes up short.
