A bit too superficial for me May 30, 2008 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
The screen shots and clip art are great. However, the book is very elementary and doesn't address many techniques in depth. For instance, it touches on albums and keytags, but doesn't talk about categories at all. It says it tells how to add photos to catalogs, but it doesn't. It doesn't discuss how to use catalogs, albums, categories, sub-categories and keytags to really organize photos.
It does a nice job explaining layers, so it is worth the money I spent for that. However, it doesn't talk about how to do some common, basic tasks such as erasing power lines and window air conditioners from photos.
I am searching for a more comprehensive book on Elements 6.0.
No help at all May 18, 2008 0 out of 9 found this review helpful
Two hours of reading and still can't figure out how to attach pictures from Photoshop to Yahoo e-mail.
A few things don't match, otherwise very good. May 14, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Ocassionally I've found a few visuals that don't match my screen.........then I have to go back to a previous chapter and try to work through it. It might be that I have a slightly different version of PSE 6. Sometimes the visual is a bit small for my old eyes. But in all, the chapters are well done.
Good but not great April 28, 2008 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is probably worth the money- it does help- but don't expect to be able to follow each and every step of each and every procedure.
simplicity at last April 1, 2008 13 out of 13 found this review helpful
At last a PhotoShop book that is easy to use and understand. As the old saying goes, One picture is worth a thousand words. Following along with the pictures makes difficult tasks easy. In a few instances, the pictures do need some additional explanation for a complete understanding. However, that is more than offset by the ease of things like layers, gradients, & selections. I am sold on the Visual books.
