 Not as good as "The Missing Manual" Book March 14, 2008

I spent a considerable period of time with this book. I never got a good feel for the program and was confused by several chapters. The concept of the organizer should be laid out closer to the beginning of the book. Similarly, the "quick edit" and "guided edit" features should be covered earlier. In contrast, the Missing Manual is much better written, has examples on the web, and gives a better feel for the program. I usually like the "Dummies" book, but this one wasn't written as well as most. I think The Missing Manual can be seen on line for free for 45 days.

This book is pretty good -- especially for someone who is not in any way familiar with Photoshop software. The very beginning of the book tells you the editors only allowed a certain number of pages to this book, so you will not be told about everything this program has to offer. I bought 'Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual' in combination with this 'Dummies' book. So far, I have been able to place my cat on a cloud with angel wings, and I have also put myself on a football field hugging the mascot.

A much clearer help book than Adobe's own printed manual. The colour photographs were much easier to follow and the text easier to follow.
 Surprise February 18, 2008

I was surprised at the complexity of this "Dummies" book. It is not for dummies! But maybe Photoshop Elements 6 is not for dummies either. Chapter 3 "Working with resolutions, Color Modes, and File Fomats" is very difficult to understand. I chose this book because the program itself offers very little help and although there are other books available, I figured dummies was about my speed since I already own 9 other dummies booksPhotoshop Elements 6 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)).
