Customer Reviews & Comments
I got his guide because I had to update my photo program and thought that the Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 was one of the simplest available to use. I was wrong. It has many more bells and whistles than I need, and even doing some of the simple stuff was getting complicated. No other book seemed to be broken down into simple steps, so I thought I would try this, without having seen it. I guess I require EXTREME simplicity, because this book is helpful in describing everything available in the program, but it stops a bit short. For example, I followed along the editing process, but my problem was how to save the pics and store them, get them to a CD, etc. The book takes you through the process of everything you need to do up until saving, but then does not describe the process of what to DO with the pics once you have worked on them! I was made aware of a few things I did not see by just playing with the program, but when it came down to the SAVING process or OPTIONS once you have your photo the way you like it...there is NOTHING to help. I did manage to figure things out on my own by hours of fiddling with things...so the book was a bit of a waste for me. If you are looking for ADVANCED techniques and EVERYTHING available from the program, this book certainly covers it all. If you are looking for a SIMPLE guide to quick use of the program, this is not it. It is very easy to understand, just had TOO much info for me that I did not need while skipping over the very basics. What ever happened to SIMPLICITY?
