Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop Elements 6: A Visual Introduction to Digital Photography (book with CD)
Book Review: Good learning tool
Summary: 4 Stars
I leave this on my desk as I often go to it as a refrence. The enclosed cd is a big help. When learning a new technique step by step. I would of given this a 5 star, but I would of appreciated if Mr. Andrews organized a seprate chapter on making selections and a seprate chapter on Layers, as these are the really strong aspects that makes Elements a cut above other photo software instead of combining the two into one chapter.
