Book Reviews of Photoshop Elements 2 for Windows & Macintosh
Book Review: A wonderful book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had limited experience with improving digitial photographs. I was looking for a book to help explain Photoshop Elements 2. I had skimmed through the manual. I saw none on Amazon that had multiple wonderful reviews so I picked up a copy of this book. It was all I had hoped for. It was clear with step by step illustrations on what to do. I am a Mac user but it has Windows instructions equally as well. I read through most of it in 2 sittings while trying some of the steps on my laptop. On the first day I was able to make images that appeared too dark come alive using the histograms which are so easy to use when clearly explained. I could use the clone tool and easily remove a pillow on the back of a chair while it looked totally natural as if the pillow was never there and the lines of the chair were totally normal. I could remove a light over my son's head that looked as if he were wearing it as a hat and otherwise ruined a wonderful image. It taught me so much more. I have not yet gotten into layers but the explainations appear very clear. I hired someone to make a picture video for a presentation but now see how easy it would be for me to do and have anyone see a copy of it with acrobat reader. If you don't kow how to use Photoshop Elements 2, get this book. You will not be sorry.
