Rating: - Photoshop Elements 6 Book for Digital Photographers
This is a great reference book that contains high quality photos and easy-to-follow instructions for organizing, editing and printing, with a heavy emphasis on editing. I highly recommend it for those who are not thoroughly proficient in Photoshop Elements. For the next edition, I'd like to see a chapter on the "fundamentals" of Photoshop, that explains when to use the various menu picks, which I find overwhelming as a casual user. This book is excellent at giving specific instructions, but it ... Read More
Rating: - NOT completely MAC friendly!
While I enjoy Scott Kelby and appreciate his vast knowledge. This latest book is not quite as Mac friendly as I'd like.

Rating: - Not useful if you have a Mac
I own an Imac. I've found this book, especially instructions related to printing, close to useless. Why is this so?

Many people, myself included, ... Read More
Rating: - A must have for Elements 6
I bought 2 other books about learning PSE6 and I wish I had bought this one first and I wouldn't have needed the other books.
Rating: - Best photo editing book I have found!
Kelby always produces a thorough and entertaining look at Photoshop Elements. This is the 3rd of his books I have tried. Each one has had wonderful shortcuts and settings information that make using the Adobe program much easier. You don't have to work through the whole book to learn just what you need to fix a problem either!
