Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0: A visual introduction to digital photography
Book Review: dont waste your time...
Summary: 1 Stars
I am new to elements and I needed a guide to learn all the ins and outs of the software. This book is not it. I cant tell you who the target audience is but it is not the novice user. There are NO clear instructions in this book, just a lot of verbage from a guy who wanted to fill pages.
