Book Reviews of Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: The Missing Manual
Book Review: Solid basic introduction to Photoshop Elements
Summary: 4 Stars
The Missing Manual Series generally offers solid instructional manuals and " Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac" is no exception. It begins with a walkthrough of the elements of Elements, explaining the different work spaces, palettes and so on, then presents some common photo editing situations and details how to improve the images. Instructions are generally clear and well thought out. A short advanced section at the end touches on some special editing problems and helps explain how to approach special needs in a logical manner.
As you would expect from a general manual, this doesn't cover tricky editing situations or provide a cookbook for special effects. You'll have to get a more advanced or specialized book if you want to expand beyond basic to intermediate Photoshop Elements skills. That's not a complaint. The book covers enough without trying to be everything to everybody. But for its target market, this book does a nice job of providing clear instructions and explanations, and provides a good handle on what can be a pretty intimidating program.
