1.0 out of 5 stars Tells What You CAN Do But Not How To DO It!, December 23, 2003

By	DissertationNation (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews

I just bought this book at a local Border's yesterday. I figured with the title of the book it would be exactly what I needed since I just got Photoshop Elements 2. However, once I got it home and sat down at my computer with it, I realized it is not helpful at all. It tells you a bunch of neat things you can do with the program, but never tells you HOW to do it. I would recommend the book by Phillip Andrews instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Beginner's Guide to Adobe Photoshop Elements 2, March 30, 2009

By	J. Campbell "J. T. Campbell" (Venice, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book is exacted what I needed, it is out of date with Photoshop, but then so am I. The book is in excellent condition, and I received it in a very timely fashion. I have no complaints and will continue to buy books from Amazon then ever the need arises. J. Campbell

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book, August 10, 2003

By A Customer

This book is full of "You can easily do..." verbiage with very little "how to" or examples. Anyone who is reasonably familiar with software can click and mouse-over to find out what the buttons do. That's about all the book covers. I wish I could recommend a better book but I'm still searching.
