Book Reviews of How to Cheat in Photoshop Elements 6: Create stunning photomontages on a budget (How to Cheat in)

Book Review: Like so many
Summary: 3 Stars

I found this book like so many available for Elements. It gives examples and the explanation how to achieve that particular effect, but not a wider description of how those effects work and can be applied to other things. So I see it as very much a companion to "The Missing Manual" which does go into greater background, but doesn't give the final examples this one does. Indeed, Amazon has them both grouped as worth buying together, which is what I did and am pleased I did!
