Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I expected to get more out this book than it offers. I should have looked much closer at the table of contents.

⭐Although the book title is “Digital Photography Just the Steps For Dummies”, 8 of 15 chapters are limited exclusively to the use of Adobe Photoshop Elements for editing and enhancing digital photos. The only mention of this is at the end of a long Introduction where the author states for editing/enhancing digital photos “… A popular choice is the inexpensive yet powerful Adobe Photoshop Elements, which is the program I use for the steps in these chapters. If you don’t have Elements, don’t worry: Many general concepts covered in this part are universally applicable.” In short, only 72 pages of this 230 page book actually cover general concepts related to digital photography.

⭐Very good descriptions in plain language
