Book Reviews of Photoshop Elements 2 Bible
Book Review: a Bible that's really comprehensive and useful
Summary: 5 Stars
The same way I expected Photoshop Elements to be a very light version of Photoshop, I wasnt sure what to expect from a book about it that had the title "Bible", because the Photoshop bible has holes in it and seems light on some topics. THIS Bible on the other hand, about Elements, is really comprehensive and the author seems to have complete knowledge of the software, not just parts of it. I have been pleasantly surprised by Elements and this book has helped me tackle the software and get going really quickly. The book is also in a really good order in that the topics are covered in logical order and the complexity builds as the book moves on. Some books hop around and the writers don't seem to know how to show someone how to use something, they just dump their knowledge on you in no reasonable order. This book is great, and I have learned way more than I expected to and the book is a pleasure to read. It's not dull or dry, and the color section has given me good ideas for stuff to do with my own photos.Book Review: Very comprehensive coverage, easy to read
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't afford Photoshop, so I got Photoshop Elements, and was sure I'd be unable to do alot of the stuff I'd seen done with Photoshop at work. Not so! This book showed me that Elements is a great product, and really powerful. The book is well-organized, easy to read, gets right to the point (but has plenty of details and info), and has great examples, with a good mix of "family" pictures and more professional work, so everyone should feel represented here as far as the kind of pictures you're working with or creating. If you have Elements and aren't sure you're really getting into everything it has to offer, this book is for you.Book Review: Photoshop Elements 2 Bible
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent reference book for Photoshop Elements 2 users. Unlike the user manual, this book explains the reason behind the menu selections. Gives many good hints on using the software. Though some very good basic photo repair techniques are given, there are some books that cover this specific topic better. All the other topics (of which there are many) are covered very well. Great book for getting new ideas and tips for some very creative topics. Would highly recommend for both the beginner and somewhat experienced user.Book Review: Elements is cheap, but not simple. This book is esssential.
Summary: 5 Stars
I figured that with Elements costing under $100, it would be really simple to learn on my own, but unlike the reviewer who said you can figure stuff out just by using the program, I was stumped by several of the features. I got the Elements Bible because it seemed like the most thorough coverage (judging by the index and teh table of contents) and it was. It was also enjoyable to read, and it gave me good ideas in the color section. If you want to learn Elements, get this book.Book Review: Complete Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
The Photoshop Elements Bible is a detailed explanation of the
software, & has enough examples to help you along. When you get
bogged down in the program, just grab this publication & you
can find an answer. I is not a "quick-read" though, but gives
you an answer.
