Book Reviews of Photoshop Elements 2 for Dummies
Book Review: Not So Great
Summary: 2 Stars
This book has some good basics in it, but they are not well illustrated or explained . Much time is spent showing how you can alter images with odd colors or other relatively useless things. The practical information here could have been said in one-quarter the pages. Most of us want to use this ap to make our basic pictures better and to retouch old family photos. You have to dig pretty hard to find that information. The jokes and smart remarks are not very funny, and you get tired of wading through them to find what you are after. After 20 pages of this, you want the authors to just get to the point.
Book Review: Try something else...
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used and enjoyed several "for dummies" books in the (somewhat distant) past. However, I found the amount of "funny" material in this book distracting. I had to skim to get to the information I needed - by buying a Dummies book I was hoping to SAVE time. I am using "The Absolute Beginners Guide to Photoshop Elements 2" instead and find it much more straightforward and helpful.Book Review: Incomplete

I love the Dummies books for beginning to learn new stuff but this one is not all there! It contually refers the reader to the "Cheat Sheet" in the front and to the "Color Plates" to view the results of the action just described but they're NOT there! It's not possible to understand without the visual presentation. I'm very disappointed.Book Review: photoshop elements 2 for dummies

I could not find anywhere in the book any good descriptions on using the tools. There is no reference at all to the clone stamp tool. I wanted help with this tool and there were no instructions.Book Review: Not so hot!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Very disapointed in this book; nowhere up to the other "For Dummies" volumns I've purchased. As a "how to" instructional volumn I found it very lacking in clarity and comtinuity as a step-by-step manual.
