Editorial Review:

With the arrival of Photoshop Elements came a number of books aimed at helping you get the most out of Adobe's slimmer and friendlier Photoshop cousin. Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 Idea Kit adds a unique twist to the melange: It steps you through the processes of creating special effects and fixing problems in digital images and then hones in on how to use those images to easily create 20 fun and useful projects. Whether you're a hobbyist who wants to use your snapshots to create a postcard, flyer, or personal Web page; or a business professional looking to create slide presentations, a customized Web gallery, or custom CD and video covers--you'll find that Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 Idea Kit is your new best friend.

Working templates of each project are included on the CD-ROM, making it easy to produce polished finished projects. The book begins by stepping you through the basics of image correction, including how to color images by hand and add borders, and then moves on to explain basic layout strategies for a number of projects: using photographs in newsletters and creating flyers, posters, postcards, and more. The latter part of the book focuses on more complex layout projects such as slide presentations, Web pages, and banners. Loaded with step-by-step instructions and handy, time-saving templates, Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 Idea Kit lets you produce creative digital-image projects without reinventing the wheel.

A solid intro to Elements for traditional photographers 4 out of 5 stars.
16 of 16 people found this review helpful.

A solid introduction to Photoshop Elements 3 that will appeal to photographers moving from traditional film and darkroom printing to digital photography. While this book doesn't venture too far into 'advanced' techniques, and doesn't explore the 'hidden features' mentioned in some other Elements guides, it does cover all the essentials and includes some useful tips and techniques. Comparisons with film camera and darkroom techniques will appeal to traditional photographers.

If you're new to Elements, this guide will give you a thorough grounding, but if you've been using Elements for some time and are looking for more advanced techniques then you'll probably find another book more interesting.

I Don't Recommend This Book 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Author Scott Kelby is widely respected in the Photoshop community for his knowledge and expertize. As a book author, though, he's a disaster.

His book provides much useful information about how to use Photoshop Elements 4, but it's hard to dig through the extraneous text to find that useful information.

Just look at the beginning of Chapter 1 that says "Organized Chaos is the perfect name for this chapter because not only is it a song title (by the band Benediction), it's also apparently a marketing directive put forth by a super-secret department at Adobe who, from what I gather, is charged with making simple things more complex."

When you buy a book and study it to learn how to use Photoshop Elements, you probably don't want to plod through the author's comments and opinions such as this.

Look anywhere in the book and you'll find comments and somewhat pathetic jokes. If you've like me, you buy a Photoshop book to learn how to use the application, not to read about the book author's opinions.

If you want a good book about how to use Photoshop Elements 4, I suggest Photoshop Elements 4 Solutions by Mikkel Aaland (published by Sybex).
