"Photoshop Elements"
I received the book in the stated time of delivery. It was well packaged and in perfect condition.

"The Photoshop Elements 6 Book for Digital Photographers"
Scott Kelby writes in a humerous style that makes a teaching manual a lot more interesting to follow. I always look forward to the next chapter. He covers the material without getting deep into technical jargon but you learn the techniques quickly that a photographer needs to edit his photos.

"Don't waste your time (and money)"
I'm sorry I bought this book!
The authors are more interested in writing for their own amusement than in providing useful information. And trust me - they are not amusing. I'm writing this to save others from wasting their time on this inane diatribe.

The book is badly organized and it's almost impossible get answers to basic questions. Like, for example, what is RAW? Simple question. You'll get a whole page about Arnold Scwarzenegger's movie "Raw Deal," but at the end you still won't have a clue about RAW photos. It has something to do with Adobe, but that's about all you'll know.

How does Elements organize photos? I wish I could find out, but I'm not getting any answers here. The step-by-step instructions are massively longer than they need to be because the author's think they're here to entertain us. Can I just please get an answer! Do I have to read a novel to get through one step in a 3-step process? The KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle is nowhere to be found in this book.

Do yourself a big favor. Pass on this one.

"Difficult to read white text on grey background"
I have previously purchased Scott Kelby's books on Photoshop CS and Elements 5 for Digital Photographers. Both books are very well done and easy to follow. However, I just recently purchased Elements 6 plus Scott's book on Elements 6, and am very disapointed to see that the example windows shown in the book are grey background with white text just like what you see on your monitor, but they are much smaller and it is impossible to read the text without a magnifying glass. Areas where you are supposed to click on the windows are circled in red, but you can't read the text to see what you are clicking on. Using this grey background with white text is a stupid blunder by Adobe, not everyone using these programs has 20/20 vision and a large monitor like the geeks designing the system. We gave the Photoshop Elements 6 program and Scott's book to a young friend of ours who has much better vision than I do. She has since commented that it is difficult for her to see also since she has a laptop computer, but she will try to get used to it. I will not buy any further Adobe products that use this grey and white bit.

"GREAT Book to Learn Photoshop"
This book dives right into HOW to do things with Photoshop - complete with pictures on every page. If you go through the book and practice some of the things a few times, you'll learn everything a beginner needs to learn - in a fun and hands-on way.

The book also spends some time going over how to use the organizer, which is very important for any photographer.

What the book does NOT tell you is what every single function does - because there are so many advanced functions in photoshop. So, if you are looking for a dictionary on Photoshop's functions - this book is not for you.

What our customer's say!

"PhotoShop Elements 6, the cookbook", First the bottom line: I've had this book a few weeks now and I like it a lot. It has proved to be exactly the book I needed and it's small flaws don't keep me from both enjoying it and finding enormously useful. Well worth the money.

Who is the book for?
This is NOT a book for someone who is brand new to photo editing, nor would I recommend it for someone who is new to PSE. In fact, the author makes it quite clear that he's not going to tell you, for example, what the erasure tool does, he's going to tell you how to use it to get something accomplished. Also, if you're looking for a reference book on PSE I'd look elsewhere, the book's organization doesn't lend itself to that, though the index is good and the table of contents excellent for finding things.

So who is it for? Me. Okay, what I mean is this: I'm familiar with PSE but no expert, I know the general concepts, I can find most of the tools most of the time. What I need help with is putting those tools to use to get a job done. If that's you, quit reading and buy the book!

Pro: the good news

Basically, this is a project-oriented book. The authors lead you through how to do nearly everything that I can imagine (and a bunch I hadn't) with a digital image. Yes, they'll take you through the pretty basic stuff like cropping BUT they add in why to crop and some fundamental composition rules that will not just help you crop the image but make the image better. That's the goal--make your images better, more interesting and more satisfying to you and the audience. There's a good discussion of selection techniques--the sometimes tricky process of picking the parts of an image that need work. And there are chapters with fairly advanced (for me anyway) stuff relating to special effects, color management, and preparing your shots for a show. All along the way, there are step-by-step "recipes" for you to follow and many clever, time saving tips and tricks.

In short, the book is readable, thorough and it will help make your images better.

Con: the not-so-good news.

Others have commented about the often lame attempts at humor. Personally, I found it easy to ignore it but I agree that it's both lame and quickly annoying. Not bad enough to keep me from recommending the book tho'. I also agree with another reviewer's comments about the difficulty in reading the screen shot clips--but the dark background from PSE 6 is preserved and it makes seeing the too tiny text difficult. Mostly tho' I didn't need to read the text there to understand the point being made.

Pretty much, that's it for the bad news in my view. Enough to keep it from 5 stars but not enough to keep me from highly recommending the book. If your the target audience--Get It and enjoy!

"Great Book", Would recommend this book to anyone who seriously wants to understand the full power of Photoshop Elements

"Great Book Except For A Few Editing Misses", Beautifully illustrating their instructions with step-by-step examples to demonstrate the techniques they teach, Kelby and Kloskowski cover everything about handling photos from basic red-eye reduction to calibrating your monitor. Both PC and Mac are covered by this volume. One warning: because this is an update of a previous book on PSE, there are a few things that are out-of-date in it that weren't caught in editing, such as a recommendation for a plug-in that isn't compatible with version 6, so keep that in mind when using it.

"Photo Elements 6 by Scott Kelby", This is an excellent manual to accompany Elements 6 software. This book was recommended by our photo club members unamimously.

"Photoshop Elements 6 Book for Digital Photographers", I bought the digital photographers book 2 and liked it so much I then bought the book 1 and then the elements 6 book.All books are written and explained well and very practical.Have learnt heaps having been away from photography (Film days) and just snapshooting for quite a long time.Recently bought a Canon 400d and learning digital from scratch. These books are excellent.

"Photoshop Elements 6 Book For Digital Photographers", This was an extremely well written book. Scott Kelby is very knowledgable and shares with his readers in a humorous way. I thoroughly enjoy reading anything he writes. I highly recommend this purchase.

"A great instructional resource", Scott and his co-writer have produced a tutorial book that is not only easy to understand and use, but also fun to use.

"Excellent Book - Great, Step-by-Step Tips", I've been using P.E. now for month or two, but this book really gives you step-by-step solutions for many corrections that you have been doing but perhaps not so well or easily. And they will show you how to do some things that you haven't thought of doing.

Well worth the money. The instructions are clear, and the examples are perfect.

"Excellent Traing Tool", At 71 learning and remembering are a challenge. This book gives me the steps to accomplish well the tasks that I need to do do with my photography and is simple and good at directing me in these tasks. I do not know other programs and instruction books, but find this one better than I expected.

"Elelments book", Lots of good step by step "how to" information. It has gotten me started processing raw format.
