Book Reviews of Photoshop Elements 3 For Dummies

Book Review: Good Introduction
Summary: 5 Stars

Photoshop is one of those software packages that can be used at many levels. There are many books that take Photoshop to the "guru" level.

This is, of course, a For Dummies book. It starts at the very beginning and gets you started. You'll learn how to get started and to get your digital photographs organized, repaired, and shared for print, e-mail and the web.

The part I liked best is the way it shows the results of different Photoshop tools on the same picture. This made a lot more sense to me than just the names, which I suspect has some historical meaning to the pros.

It's a For Dummies book. It is well written, well illustrated and not so dreadfully dull as most computer book.
