5.0 out of 5 stars Very 'Useable' Information, February 21, 2006

By	DeRoy Jensen "DeRoy" (Hearst Castle; California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found it very easy reading.
It's also a quick and easy resource guide to solve any normal question/problems associated w/ Elements. It's written in a very straight forward and easy to understand format. It is simple to zero in on a specific problem, and using the easy to follow guides, it's a SNAP to solve. A very good resource book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 in a Snap, March 29, 2006

By	R. Inman "Harbormaster" (Connecticut) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Book assumes basic knowledge of layers manipulation which I don't have. Further frustration; several editing procedures which are mentioned as part of the book are only available on the Internet after filling out a registration and market survey. To top it off I could find no such information at the site specified after I went through the aggravation of completing the required registration and survey.

By	Charles E. Engels "C Engels" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Simple and easy to understand steps yet not only for a beginner to Photoshop Elements. This will help not only the new user but the intermediate user as well. Great stuff and another wonderful job by Jennifer and Scott Fulton.
