Summary: A must for any photographer
Comment: If you like me, like to play with digital images and get those pretty good photos to be really great photos then I think this book cannot be beat. It is packed with step-by-step instructions on how to make the eyes whiter, remove facial blemishes etc. The examples are good and the images that Scott references are on his website, so happy downloading. I especially liked Scott's approach to black and white photos, after using the book you will never use Elements basic "Remove Color" command again!
The book is well laid out and you can just go to the appropriate instruction section without having to refer back to prior chapters.
So why not 5 stars? Well I think there could be more done for the advanced elements user. Discussing how to do multi-layer masks for one would be nice. But it is well worth the money!
I would consider myself an intermediate elements user.

Summary: Great beginner book explains things well
Comment: This is my second Photoshop Elements book. The first one I sent back, as it was way to advanced. This one is great! It's easy to follow along with and I think it was writen with a beginner like myself in mind. I've worked my way about half way through and it's fun. The author keeps things light and easy to understand. The book is easy to read with nice color images throughout. One thing I like is that you can go to his website and download the photos in the book that you are working on. This makes it real easy to work along with the author to make sure that you achieve the same results. The only negative I would give it is that some of the shortcuts are not fully explained. For example there are lots of instances where the author says press control-f and if you do that it works fine, but how about giving us both ways to access what was just done rather than just the shortcuts. I mean there is so many layers to the top menu's unless the author tells you where something is it is hard to find on your own. That is my only complaint so far.
Well actually I have one more. He really doesn't go into some of the things that Elements 2.0 can do. For example in the introduction the author states "I DON'T HAVE A CHAPTER ON THE LAYERS PALETTE, PAINTING TOOLS OR FILTERS BECAUSE A)EVERY PHOTOSHOP BOOK DOES THAT." Well I would like to not have a whole shelf of Photoshop books. I want just one book that explains the basics to me.

Summary: Wonderful book!
Comment: I've never rated anything before, but I have had such good results with this book that I had to contribute. I purchased the books PSE 2 for Dummies, and the Complete Idiot's guide to PSE 2 for obvious reasons. The titles fit me perfectly. After reading both of those books a couple of times, I understood what Photoshop Elements 2 could do, but I never understood how it was really done, and how I could apply it to my photos. I bought this book and within a 1/2 hour I was amazing myself. I was asked to take wedding photos for someone in my family. I did an ok job, but with the help of this book I was able to do some amazing things. I highly recommend this book. I keep the book next to my computer, and when I need some help I can quickly find the answer. I'm getting so good that I don't have to refer to the book as much.
This book is just right for the beginner/amateur who wants to take their photos to the next level, but don't know how to get there.
