Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop Elements 6: A Visual Introduction to Digital Photography (book with CD)
Book Review: Great for the visual learner
Summary: 4 Stars
In college I took a required course to learn what kind of learner I was. I thought it was stupid and didn't want to go. Everyone knows you learn by reading books. What I found out was that I had a much higher retention rate in the visual mode. Made college a lot easier. This book is a good example of a text for the visual learner. Very well laid out and paced.
My one complaint was that it was a bit skimpy on the Organizer. Many of us have a mess of photos that we need to organize. This organizer eliminates the need for sub-folder after sub-folder but the book does not highlight that strength nearly enough.
I highly recommend the book for the new-to-digital-photography set.
