Summary: best guide for using photoshop
Comment: Digital photography is one of the great inventions of the twentieth century. This book is the best guide to using the best program for those who want to control the photos they take.
If I had digital photography when I was trying to make a photo business work years ago I might still be in the business. My knowlege of how things are done on the computer is limited to say the least. This book, indeed the whole series of books in the Missing Manuals series, is a great help to both the computer expert and the novice.
If you need help this is a very thorough guide step by step covering activities both simple and advanced in cleqar language and readable type. You can count on htis book for the help you need.

Summary: Simply Wonderful
Comment: I guess I could just quote the sub-title and say that this is the book that should have been in the box, yet this one goes further than anything they could have included. It's more detailed and has a better layout than most manuals you get, but what is the best feature is the step by step way Barbara Brundage explains how to do something. As a former writer of high tech operational manuals I appreciate that style knowing that once you do something correctly a couple of times it becomes second nature. On top of that knowing how to have fun with a photo makes me want to learn more. For example, I fixed the only picture my friend had of his mother by scanning it and doing a little healing to replace a torn section. He was somewhat reluctant to hand the damaged photo to me but he was very happy to see the new one version. It was kick to be able to help!
So this is the book I keep in the office so when I import the latest group of pictures I've got it handy in case I have to change or fix something. She did a good job of explaining how to use layers, which I knew nothing about when I got PSE5 a few years ago. By the way, this is not a "Dummies" style manual, though they have their place. This one is complete enough that it may be the only reference manual you need for PSE8. It is definately worth the price.

Summary: great if you have a english degree
Comment: this book is nothing better then a text book about the program. takes to long to learn the program that you will wish you never bought the program. use Photoshop Elements 8: Top 100 Simplified Tips and Tricks (Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks) much faster to learn the program.
