Photoshop Eleements 7 for Dummies Review

I love this book because it speaks on laymens terms and allows you to actually do each task as its explained in the book. A book with the program isn't user friendly. Thank you for publishing this book for "dummies". Dummy I am not, but it sure simply explains all the things that this program can do. Love it!!

Happy on this end.

I got the book when promised, it was in very good condition as promised. I'm glad that I bought it.

Elements made easy . . . . .

This volume covers the most used steps in using Elements version 7.0 very well. I've been an Elements user since its inception. Not at a very high level, just to a degree necessary for good image production for personal use. As Elements takes on more of the matel of a full photoshop application, A good practical instruction book was needed and this book for dummies has filled the bill to a tee. It provides good clear and complete instruction of all of the features within Elements. I've been slowly learning things that I never knew where there. Most will never be used; but should I need to investigate them the answers can be found within.

Not for Dummies, but a good manual

Unlike other Dummies books I have (Windows XP and Vista for Dummies), this is more like the manual that should have come with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. It's not for people that have never used a photographic program before. It assumes you have some knowledge of digital enhancements. That being said, it's a very good manual and it's in color. It's a good desk reference. It's not meant to be read from cover to cover. After reading the first few chapters, you can use as a reference to get you over the hurtles you don't understand, give you some common sense tips, enlighten you on some things you probably didn't know, and give you some helpful short-cuts. All-in-all, a very useful manual to have, and the DVD is great to get you started even before you start and reading. Two thumbs up from me.

Great introduction

Excellent introduction to Elements 7 and just what I've come to expect from this Dummies series. Just got Elements 7 and wanted/needed to get me going and let's see something now. In one-half hour I had my first photo edited. Not a wiz yet but give me another half-hour. Learned the interface, was able to easily follow the instructions. Good clear English and easy reading.
