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

⭐This is the only book I have read on the subject so don’t have much to compare it to. That being said it is a really hard book to read and the layout of books and chapters is very annoying. It is constantly mentioning a new subject an then says “refer to book 2 chapter 3 for more on this”. There is a lot of useful information in this book, but not very many examples of how to do things step by step. There are about 7 little projects that it has you do step by step with the book that I found very useful but think there should be more of these.I found myself having to reread pages multiple times to comprehend what they are talking about. It is a pretty difficult subject when you are new to photoshop so I’m not sure how other books compare to this one, however this book will put you to sleep!!!Almost forgot, the most annoying thing about this book is it refers to how to do things on PC and on Mac, so every time you are told to hold the CTRL key on PC it is followed by hold the COMMAND key on MAC, doesn’t sound too annoying but I promise you it is after 600 pages of getting instructions on 2 different computers. Would have been much better if they just wrote a separate book for each. I would not buy this book for that reason alone. All of this being said I have not read any other books on the subject so they may all do this but I would look for a book that has more step by step project examples in it.

⭐Like new!

⭐The online help is much better than this book. I was really looking forward to using Dummy to learn Photoshop Elements 8 but unfortuanty it doesn’t go in depth for a process, just the beginning steps. Example the Slide Show feature, only that you can do it, not step by step how. The online help was much better.

⭐Informative and clearly written.

⭐This book is great. It was just what I was looking for. With a little one I don’t have lots of extra time to mess with the program to learn how it works. This gives great directions for using the many different parts of photoshop elements.

⭐This is just what i wanted but i am still reading to find exactly what i need when i need it. pretty thick book

⭐I would like to edit pictures better. The book explains Photoshop step by step.

⭐To echo what others have written, it is not an easy book to read. The author seems to lack any real depth to his knowledge on PSE8. It was if he took it up as a writing assignment. He read the manual, played around with it for a month or two, then wrote the book in another month or two. Sentences, paragraphs and topics jump all around with no good transitions. He tries to make up for it with annoying quips and jokes. He shows little real life expertise on using it. I’m sure the basics are there and with time and patience I can learn from it. But instead I’m ordering another PSE8 book that reads better, and has better reviews, by someone who is seems to be an actual professional.I can’t help but wonder at how the ‘For Dummies’ people have let their brand be tarnished by this second-rate product. Maybe they expanded too fast in too many areas, letting their quality control slip.

⭐An excellent Handbook. Even though I know my way around the basics of photoshop this book is invaluable for the more complicated areas of it. Explains everything in very easy to understand terms. For those who want to make the most of their photos with photoshop I thoroughly recommend this.

⭐Not very easy to read unless you have prior knowledge of Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.Takes some time to discover that what you really want to do is not available in Elements. OK for more experienced users.

⭐Ft or any questions or any questions or not be in this email I am so I am so I am so I am so

⭐Haven’t used it much yet.
