Book Reviews of Photoshop Elements 6 for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide
Book Review: Great Guide for Beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not someone who learns how to use software applications from books very easily. But this is about the best book I've found for learning editing techniques in Photoshop Elements 6. The descriptions are clearly written for English speakers and not too involved. The accompanying screen shots and illustrations let me know I'm doing the right thing when I see them on my monitor. Wonderful positive reinforcement!
I also have 'Photoshop Elements 6 - The Missing Manual'; which is an excellent supplement if I want to dig in to more complexity and detail for any given Elements editing feature. It's what might be more likely referred to as a bible for P.E. 6. But, for me, it's too much to use as a starting point on its own.
Get the Visual Quickstart guide if you too like more hand holding and baby steps when trying to learn software apps from a book. It's not a condescending 'dummies' approach. Just clear and easy to follow.
