IN FULL
Adobe has many applications that are downright intimidating to many users out there, and it's very refreshing that "Photoshop Elements 7: The Missing Manual" was created. From covering the basics of how to get around the Elements application, the author starts of with the basics of getting your images onto your computer, and the most simple of effects like rotation and cropping. From there, she discusses the all-important topic of layers and basic image retouching so you can take your digital images and make them go from good to GREAT!!! Continuing on with a look at filters and how to get your images printed so they look beautiful and/or posting them to the web or emailing them, this guide is perfect for all new Photoshop Elements users who want to get their feet web on the way to becoming an Elements super user.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. While it's a little bit more expensive than other books in the "Missing Manual" line, the price should NOT be a factor in your decision making. If you are looking for a book that will assist in your knowledge of learning how to use Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 you have come to the right place. If you want to learn more about what is included in the newest release of this outstanding application, look no further. If just want to read an entertaining book and expand your knowledge of how to work with digital imagery so you can make your images look better than ever, again you will NOT be disappointed.
This is the way all books should be written: clearly, simply, and enjoyable.

Book Review: Photoshop Elements 7: The Missing Manual
Summary: 5 Stars
Photoshop Elements has been around for a few years and is now up to version 7. I started with the original release, which came bundled with a scanner. It was good, but lacked the Organizer feature, which is now included. Version 7 also automates a lot of things which you had to do manually before.
This book is a comprehensive tutorial which is well-written, nicely designed, and illustrated in color throughout. At 575 pages, it covers the features of the program thoroughly. Beginning chapters describe how to use the two major components of the program, which are the Organizer and the Editor. The various photo-editing tools are then covered in depth. There are also instructions on installing and troubleshooting the software. Appendixes A and B list all the menu choices for the two major components of the program, which is a big time saver. This makes the book a good reference when working with the software.
It's all in there--all you have to do is apply yourself.
Book Review: Very Good Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books on Photoshop Elements 7 available. I guarantee that you will need this book if you are new to Photoshop Elements 7. The Photoshop Elements 7 software package only comes with a small introduction booklet. And I have never had success learning to do something via the "Help" files. I am also sure that an experienced user can use this book as a reference. I have been using Photoshop Elements 7 for over a week now. So far, I have found an answer in this book to every problem I have encountered.
The author's writing style is excellent. It is not too light and it is not too dense.
Book Review: BEST Photoshop Elements "Help" Book by Far!
Summary: 5 Stars
Photoshop Elements is one of the few pieces of software that is VERY difficult to learn - and every time I try to use the help files I'm none the wiser.
I recently had the opportunity to flip through 5 different books on Elements 7 at a Chapters book store. This was the best - hands down.
I looked in the index for a couple of problems I've had with Elements recently. This was the only book where I could find the answers listed under the terms that I would search for, and then explained the exact process clearly and thoroughly.
Book Review: This is indeed the manual that should have been with the software
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very well written and easy to read book. Photoshop Elements is almost impossible to figure out using the built-in help, so you need some other reference. I strongly recommend this one. The book is well indexed and it is easy to find what you need for a specific task without reading the whole book. It also is an excellent source to find out all the things you can do with Elements. There are many excellent examples to help you learn how to use this powerful, but somewhat cumbersome, program.
