Book Reviews of The Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements 2
Book Review: Great addition for Elements users
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a user of Photoshop Elements (1.0) for about 6 months. In addition to providing 'hidden' tools within Elements (curves, channels, masks) this book provides good tips and suggestions for general digital photo editing and enhancements. The book is very detailed, but the accompanying cd provides examples from the book (to follow along) and also the hidden tools to update either Elements 1.0 or 2.0. The author is extremely knowledegable and he makes himself available for any questions/suggestions on his web site, and in various forums and discussion groups on the web. I highly recommend this book for Element users who want the power of full blown photoshop without the price.Book Review: The power is still hidden
Summary: 1 Stars
The value of this book is in the accompanying CD which contains the various programs ("tools") that utilize the matters discussed in the text. I suspect the book might be of interst if you can access the tools. If you can't access the "tools", you aren't going to like the book. Despite some efforts by Mr. Lynch by emails, I was never able to access to the tools resulting in a book that makes a great doorstop and little else. It would be nice if you could get a refund if you have the same inability to access the tools. The book may be as interesting as the other reviewers suggest but not if you can't access to tools the author describes.Book Review: I love this book and the additional tools
Summary: 5 Stars
If one really goes through the book step by step or at least reads it fully so one knows where information is contained when the use for same comes up, this book is an absolute must for anyone wishing to get full photoshop applications out of photoshop elements 2. If you should run into problems there is an online discussion group and, in addition, I have contacted Mr. Lynch a couple of times and have always gotten a response. Considering that he must be a very busy man, I was impressed with his desire to accomodate his consumer base.

Book Review: Maybe Later
Summary: 3 Stars
After five nights of really trying so hard to get through this book...and I did try, I finally decided I was so lost it was time to quit and try some other book. I know I am not at the level I want to be in Elements, but just going through steps that make no sense with this book finally got to where it was not worth the effort. I'm putting this book on the shelf and finding one that doesn't assume I know the steps he leaves out. I'm very dissappointed because I really need to know this stuff :(((Book Review: Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements 2
Summary: 2 Stars
First must say all the raves you see are from professionals that have used other systems and maybe good friends of the author, as some of the reviews said, mistakes, no clear definition of way to go, confusing, believe the author once sent me an answer to a question stating he has condensed a book of 950 pages into this, Well unless your an photographic, or layout person, this book too confusing for someone starting out, I would not recommend this book to first timers
