Book Reviews of Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual
Book Review: Well worth the cost
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is well worth the price. In fact, the brief mention of getting the camera RAW converter plug-in from Adobe and instructions on how to use it was worth the price of the book.
Not only that, but the author provides her email address in the front of the book, and will actually answer any questions you have concerning anything you don't understand. I find this fact amazing. I cannot imagine where she gets the time to do this.
Since I have several years experience with an ancient Photoshop 6, this may have helped me when referring to the book, but it also gives me preconceived notions of how to do things that are not necessarily correct in relation to Elements 6, so I find the book very useful.
Book Review: Loving It!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am about half way thru the book and am loving it! What a well written book to take you thru all the features of PE6. The only way I have found for me to learn is by running the program and doing each lesson along the way. PE6 has so many features that unless you get a manuel/book you might never find them all. Reading this book has been enjoyable. The author certainly writes in a manner to keep your attention even when explaining all the tech stuff. I thought the Organizer area of the book was very good. Showed me what I needed to know and I do load lots of photos often.
So, if you are thinking about getting this book..I would recommend it highly.
Book Review: Thanks for an excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars
This excellent book provides an informal, informative and creative analysis of Photoshop Elements 6. It goes far further than the Adobe User Guide which only describes various functions. The Missing Manual actually tells you how to achieve desired results. Furthermore (and unusually) the author Barbara Brundage responds succinctly and quickly to Emailed enquiries. I just hope that she does not become over-stretched in the process. The book requires patience and will take time to complete but is very readable. She deserves every congratulation for her book which I strongly recommend.Book Review: One of the best.
Summary: 5 Stars
In the 25+ years I've been working with PCs I've read my share of manuals and third-party reference and how-to books. I'm just learning PE6 and I rate Barbara Brundage's book in the top five: its well organized, very detailed, and easy to follow.
I've noticed that some of the other reviewers think there is not enough material dedicated to the Organizer module. Personally I found the information on the subject to be adequate. Besides, I purchased this book to learn how to use the powerful editing features of PE6 and as far as I'm concerned it does this very, very well.
Book Review: Excellent tutorial - practical
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used Adobe Photoshop Elements versions 4, 5 and now 6. Instructions with the software product are incomplete and I never got past rudimentary level of skill. This Missing Manual is a good solution to learn how to actually use the software. Verion 6 software is far more complex than prior versions and a quick reference and solid instruction tool is essential. Photoshop Elements 6 - The missing manual is the answer. I liked it so much I bought both the software and this book for a family member. I also bought other books but they are not as useful.
