Reviews of previous edition:

"...an unrivalled introduction to the budget imaging package, and an excellent overview of digital imaging." What Digital Camera

"With Philip providing you with such a good 'street index' to our Photoshop Elements 3.0 software you will be creating fantastic digital images in next to no time at all."
Judith Salonga, Adobe Systems


".....Philip does a great job of making things clear. The book covers the basics first and then guides you through more advanced stages as it progresses. The design and signposting is much better in this version. Like the earlier version processes such as sharpening and image contrast and saturation are covered in depth to help you understand what the sliding controls are actually doing to your picture. You'll learn how to edit, save for web, prepare images for printing and much more."
ePhotozine

"Now in its second incarnation, this book is a complete guide that covers both versions of Elements more than adequately.

The Presentation is second to none. Full-colour images and screenshots grace each page as the author moves from basic principles to more advanced features over 12 chapters.

If you need to manipulate digital images but can't justify the cost or time to learn Elements' big brother, this is the book that will not only show you what can be achieved but inspire you to develop your skills even further."
