Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 Maximum Performance: Unleash the Hidden Performance of Elements
Book Review: Will still need other tutorials to fill in the holes, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
...I've been able to use this book as an Elements 5 special fx guide with little fuss. I would be considered a novice Photoshop user but am probably intermediate in my understanding of how to use software in general. I can usually figure out how things work. So this book would be helpful to others like me, but may frustrate those who haven't been whacking around on a computer for quite so long.
