A worthwhile investment when learning Photoshop Elements 4 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This book is well organized and easy to follow. You use the files on the CD that comes with the book to do the lessons. All of the lessons demonstrate principles of working with PSE and are not difficult to follow. The book also anticipates and points out what you can do wrong, so is helpful in that regard also. I also have worked with Photoshop Elements, The Missing Manual Photoshop Elements 5: The Missing Manualwhich is much more comprehensive but takes a lot longer to work through. You may want to own both books eventually, but this one is a good start since you actually get to complete processes right away, such as touching up old photos, that come in handy whether or not you have learned everything that the program can do. If you are struggling with teaching yourself PSE, give this book a try.

Editorial Review:

Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 Classroom in a Book is the most thorough and comprehensive way for new users to master all the new features in Adobe's consumer-targeted image editing software. Each chapter in this step-by-step, project-based guide contains a project that builds on the reader's growing knowledge of the program as well as end-of-chapter review questions to wrap up each lesson. Readers can follow the book from start to finish or choose only the chapters that interest them. Readers will learn the basics of editing their images with Photoshop Elements and will learn the program's myriad new features, including new flexible layout options, web photo galleries animated with Flash, improved color correction and lighting tools, and the ability to share and download photos from mobile phones and handheld devices.

Great Book 5 out of 5 stars.
41 of 41 people found this review helpful.

It was the second book I had bought to learn elements. It hit the mark. Perfect. Lots of illustrations, lots of color, and not too much verbosity. A picture IS worth a thousand words. A web site provided has all the pictures available to "play with."
This book has given me a tremendous grasp of Elements in an extremely short time. Philip Andrews has done an incredible job. There may be more for me to learn in Elements but this is without a doubt the best introduction I have found. Before purchasing I thumbed through many books which left me cold. Philip's book truly gets you up and going quickly.

Editorial Review:

This complete and easy-to-follow introduction to Adobe Photoshop Elements has been updated throughout to show all the new features of version 2.0, including digital video frame acquisition; the liquefy filter; the selecting/masking brush and the effects browser.

Philip Andrews in his clear, no-nonsense style goes on to set the package in the broader context of digital imaging. He provides you with far more than just an introduction to the software package, giving you everything to ensure you too can achieve professional looking results.

* Save valuable time with this successful, jargon-free introduction to digital imaging
* Real life examples, fully updated to cover all the new Elements 2.0 features, show you how to put each technique into practice
* Full color, high quality illustrations show you what you can achieve

Watch the CD 5 out of 5 stars.
20 of 22 people found this review helpful.

The accompanying CD that came with this book imparted more knowledge in a straight-to-the-point fashion than anything else I've tried. The price was right too. Some tutorial vdeo materials cost about twice as much. If you're a person who absorbs more by being shown something, this is for you. The pace is fast but I plan to play the CD over more than a few times for the sake of repitition. Sammon's colorful illustrations drive home certain lessons but I found myself not always agreeing with his improvements on photos...I liked the "before" pictures better. I felt my money was very well spent on this book. Most similar books are quite pricey so it does count when they disappoint. This one didn't.

Editorial Review:

Rick Sammon's Digital Imaging Workshops picks up where his popular Complete Guide to Digital Photography leaves off. The earlier book gave us brief glimpses of the power of digital imaging. In his new book Sammon has selected twenty of the most common and effective imaging techniques that workshop participants request. Each richly illustrated workshop in the book is accompanied by Sammon's base images on the CD-ROM so that readers can follow step by step along with Sammon using the same image as portrayed in the book. This technique leads readers to develop their own ideas very rapidly. The book opens with a tour of Adobe Photoshop Elements tools and menus. For photographers who are visual learners, the book's CD-ROM also contains short movies that readers can view on their computer showing how to manipulate the most useful tools and menu actions in Elements. 600 color illustrations; CD-ROM.
