Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 Complete Course
Book Review: 5 stars to the author, not the publisher.
Summary: 5 Stars
The other reviews here on the author's style are so well done, that I'll just say I agree that this is a book worth going through cover to cover.
I found it quite humorous that session 5 on "Making Selections" made its own selection. Selections are those parts of photos you choose to incorporate as a layer. It's basically a visual "cut and paste." Those pages which instruct on how to do this (at least in my copy of the book), selected themselves to be removed from the binding. Enjoy being creative in all aspects. Don't be annoyed by this if this happens to you. Be thankful for such a well thought out book even if the binding doesn't do its job. Why? When I taped the pages of that selection back together again, that session slightly layers itself out from the book when it's closed. That makes it a built in bookmark for a quick back reference to where the book seems to really begin digging into the more powerful aspects of the program.
It appears as if once the book has developed its weak area, the other pages of the book will remain intact. If you're going to use Photoshop Elements 2 (which comes with the better scanners), this book will make the most use out of that program.
The Tutorial about "Combining Images with a Layer Mask," is missing a vital peice of information in step 4 on page 205. Unless you hold down the Alt button (Windows OS) or Option button (Mac OS), the double circle icon to group your two layers together is never going to appear.
