Book Reviews of The Photoshop Elements 7 Book for Digital Photographers
Book Review: Informative book, especialy for beginners!!!!! AWESOME
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has been GREAT every time I sit down to work with my photos!!! I have had this book for about 6 months now. The author provides step-by-step instructions how to crop, brighten eyes, remove wrinkles, whiten teeth, change colors, etc. Every time I open up Photoshop I have this book beside me and have tabbed the tools I use the most. I never would have figured out all the fun stuff that PE7 has on my own; sometimes there are like 6-7 steps for small things but he makes it easy to figure out. I think the hardest thing to figure out on your own is how to use the layers. Now that I have the book for constant reference, sometimes I will have 3-4 layers depending on how many effects I am adding or enhancing. This book taught me how to do stuff I never thought PE7 could do. I am not a professional photographer, but I have a DSLR and take all our family photos and exotic vacation pictures, edit them, and frame them for our walls. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has never used Photoshop...you won't regret it. The only tiny problem is that occasionally he forgets a tiny detail such as pressing the ENTER key to make the Lasso tool stick, but I figured that out eventually; it surely is not a deal breaker for me.
Summary of The Photoshop Elements 7 Book for Digital Photographers
This book breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers that?s never been done before?it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly ?how to do it.? It?s not a bunch of theory; it doesn?t challenge you to come up with your own settings or figure things out on your own. Instead, it does something that virtually no other Elements book has ever done?it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why. If you?re looking for one of those ?tell-me-everything-about-the-Unsharp-Maskfilter? books, this isn?t it. You can grab any other Elements book on the shelf, because they all do that. Instead, this book gives you the inside tips and tricks of the trade for organizing, correcting, editing, sharpening, retouching, and presenting your photos like a pro. You?ll be absolutely amazed at how easy and effective these techniques are?once you know the secrets.Each year we train thousands of digital photographers and, almost without exception, they have the same questions and face the same problem?that?s exactly what we cover in this book. You?ll learn:
? The real secrets of how the pros retouch portraits
? How to color correct any photo without breaking a sweat (you?ll be amazed at how they do it!)
? How to use Camera Raw for processing not only RAW photos, but JPEGs and TIFFs, too! (And you?ll learn why so many pros like it best?because it?s faster and easier)
? The sharpening techniques the pros really use (there?s an entire chapter just on this!)
? How to deal with common digital camera image problems, including removing noise and avoiding halos
? The most requested photographic special effects, and much more!
THE BOOK?S SECRET WEAPON
Although Elements 7 offers some digital photography features that Photoshop CS4 doesn?t offer, there are plenty of features that Photoshop CS4 has that Elements 7 still doesn?t have (things like layer masking, Channel Mixer, etc.). But in this book, you?ll learn some slick workarounds, cheats, and some fairly ingenious ways to replicate many of those Photoshop features from right within Elements. Plus, since this book is designed for photographers, it doesn?t waste your time talking about how to frame a shot, setting your exposure, etc., and there?s no talk about which camera or printer to buy. It?s all Elements, step-by-step, cover-to-cover, in the only book of its kind, and you?re gonna love it!
