Customer Reviews

Mr. Kelby Is Now One of my Heros

Mr. Kelby is clear and plain-spoken, something I love, and after only one week and many digital photos, I love this book. I had worked with imaging software a little, and then three years ago bought Elements 4 and just happened to pick Scott Kelby's book for Elements 4. I knew Elements was a pretty powerful program, but just basically bought Mr. Kelby's Elements 4 book out of sheer good luck. Three years and thousands of photos later, I upgraded to Elements 7 and also to Mr. Kelby's Elements 7 book. I have spent the past week using Elements 7's expanded RAW features (when compared to my older Elements 4) and this book rocks more than the earlier version. I understand that some who are brand new to image manipulation might feel let down a bit, because this book assumes a very basic level of expertise. If you are brand-new to working with images on your computer, you might buy Elements 7, this Elements 7 version of Mr. Kelby's book, and also an absolute beginners book too. You will soon move from the absolute beginner book to Mr. Kelby's and I promise you'll be glad you bought it. This is THE book for Elements as far as I'm concerned.

Must have!

If you use Elements 7 this book is awsome. I am a first time user of Adobe Elements and this book makes life so much easier. I used the program for a month before the book was available and could only navigate the simple tools of the program. Now if I get stumped I just pull out this book and it will get you going in the right direction.

PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 7 BOOK FOR DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHERS

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT BOOK. I AM A NOVICE AND HAD NO PROBLEM FOLLOWING THE BOOK. IT IS WRITTEN SO THE AVERAGE PERSON CAN UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL EXPLANATIONS. IF YOU NEED HELP EXPLAINING VARIOUS TECHNIQUES ABOUT ELEMENTS 7 I RECCOMMEND THIS BOOK.

Great book for beginners

Great book for beginners. Very helpful, makes Elements 7 easy to learn. Glad I bought this book. You don't have to read the book cover to cover all at once. You can move around the chapters of this book according to what function you are trying to perform. I recommend this book for anyone trying to learn Elements 7.

Best Book on Elements I've Seen

Scott Kelby is my favorite photography author. His co-author, Matt Kloskowski, is also a very talented Photoshop professional. Boy, they really know how to write a clear, concise Photoshop Elements user manual for people that are new to the photo software-editing world. I hesitated for my first year with a camera in purchasing any type of editing software due to the fact that it was very intimidating. I'm not an expert with a PC or a camera and thought that the editing tricks and processes would be difficult and confusing. No more. Just skimming through this book answered a lot of questions I had and given me ideas on how to improve my existing photos. Color accent, cloning/erasing objects, layers, shadow effects and a slew of other tips are included in no nonsense, easy to follow advice in this book. I love it. I will post some of my touch-up photos on this book web page as well as my camera's product page. I can't wait! Buy this book. You won't regret it. It will add layers and layers to your photography collection, pardon the pun!
