Summary: Photoshop Elements Solutions
Review: I found this book to be extremely helpful to those of us who are not graphics oriented. It explains in easily understood detail things needed to get you up and running with Adobe Elements. Now it is not for the novice user. It will require some knowledge of your computer before undertaking this program. Still I have found it a worth while companion to the digital camera and software I use today. Easy to understand and great for casual users too. A must even if you have the ÒFor DummiesÒ book (which I have and purchased this one as a companion and use it more than the other.

Summary: Photoshop Elements Solutions Exceptionally well done!!
Review: Mikkel Aaland has a profound understanding of Photoshop Elements. His numerous step-by-step examples are very helpful. Photoshop Elements is a complex program and requires some serious study to learn. I have completed 3 chapters and excited about completing all 12 chapters. I know that I will have a comprehensive understanding of PSE as a pay-off for my hard work. A "bare bones" understanding of computer graphics is very helpful...

Summary: Finally I can use an Adobe graphics program
Review: My new Sony notebook came with Elements, and I decided to jump in after years of using Paint Shop Pro and being scared of Photoshop. It didn't take long to realize I was clueless. Got this book and was very surprised -- not only did I learn how to make sense of Elements, but the writer is pretty funny. While I had no pressing need to change people's hair color or replace children with other kids, it made learning the program much more amusing. Am now working on hundreds of digital pictures from my wedding.I also was disappointed that not all the example photos were on the CD. I sent an e-mail to the publisher about this and they directed me to a bunch more example images on their Web site...

Summary: Missing Photos on CD
Review: This book is excellent. I can't put it down. It is very clear. I find that the color pictures really help me understand the material. The one annoyance is that not all the pictures in the book are included in the enclosed CD. I wrote to the author and he pointed me to a web site where he is posting the missing photos as he gets copyright permissions. ...

Summary: It's a Photoshop Elements Textbook!
Review: This book stands head and shoulders above the other Photoshop Elements books I've looked at. Actually I've bought several Photoshop Elements books at my local Borders and Barns and Noble bookstores on Photoshop Elements and returned all of them. I also purchased my copy of this book locally for $... before I realized that I could have gotten it for much less at Amazon. Oh well. This is the last Photoshop Elements book you will ever need. What sets this book apart from the others is that there are symbols accompanying the text that correspond with the symbols you see on the screen! You simply read the paragraph and click on the symbol that is illustrated in the book. This makes it much easier to learn and remember the program. I'm glad I bought this book at $..., but at Amazon's price, it's a steal.

Summary: Photoshop Elements Solutions
Review: This is a great book for the nonprofessional who wants to do serious image editing on family photos, etc. It . The Adobe manual that comes with the program is one of the best from a software producer in that it explains the various features of the program quite well. Photoshop Elements Solutions picksup where Adobe's instruction manual leaves off in that it shows you how to combine the features sequentially to get to a great end product.

Summary: Super Book
Review: This is the best. If you are serious buy this book. I have only worked my way through the first three chapters and it already worth the price. Highly recommend. The only criticism is the CD included which has the full 30 day demo version of Elements. Most people will not need this. The pictures used as examples will be usefull.

Summary: This is the book!
Review: This is the book! The combined book and CD make it a breeze to quickly install and learn how to use the software. I run all my pictures through Elements. I improve them and print them directly in Elements. I also use it to create the HTML pages I post on my site. It's so easy, I carry my camera everywhere and use it everyday.

Review: WELL WORTH WAITING FOR -November 19,2001
Chuck Peterson from New Zealand
After buying the first book printed on Photoshop Elements (Introductions).
I reviewed it in Oct./2001 with my disappointment that it was a B&W illustrated and hard to see what the author was trying to show . What a difference color and good print quality makes.This book has it all with good color illustrations and easy to understand text. After downloading a free 30 day trial of Photoshop Elements then buying the software - the CD included is of little use and I prefer to use my own photos to change and correct or create what I want . After 40+ years working in a darkroom trying to be creative. this book makes it all so easy ( with the lights on and NO smelly chemicals)
