Book Description
Adobe's consumer-level Photoshop Elements 3 already offers a slew of unique features at a fraction of the cost of its full-featured digital imaging big brother. Get this book/CD combo, and you'll add even more. Although Photoshop Elements offers only limited capability for designing Layer styles, any style designed in the full version of Photoshop can be applied in Elements 3 to add instant special effects to photos, type, or graphics. Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 One-Click Wow! shows you how to apply those styles with just the click of a mouse, and the companion CD provides more than 300 custom styles from which to choose. Throughout, author Jack Davis provides simple step-by-step instructions for applying layer styles and outstanding full-color examples of how they'll look in your personal, business, and professional-level design and photography projects. If you want great results instantly, you'll want One-Click Wow!--completely updated to take advantage of all the features new to Elements 3: an improved Review Mode, better red-eye reduction, edge effects, and more.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Elements One-Click Wow! (Paperback)
When I got this book with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0, I found three surprises: -- The book refers to Photoshop Elements 1.0, while the current version being sold is 2.0; -- The explanatory text is for, and all the screenshots are from, the Apple Macintosh; -- The book is a very slender 58 pages ... and the text really ends on page 19! That said, there's a lot here to like. Adobe Photoshop Elements One Click Wow! (do I really have to write the whole title again?) is not a manual; Adobe Photoshop Elements comes with a very nice printed manual that's over 250 pages long. Instead, it's a collection of slick styles you can apply to your images and layers to create some very cool effects. These layer styles are on the enclosed CD-ROM, and *that* is what you're spending your money on. Dispensing with the tutorials in about 20 clear, information packed pages, the rest of the book is your 'catalog' of the styles and effects that One-Click Wow! includes. As a sample, here is the list from the table of contents, under "Graphic & Type Effects:" Chromes Metals Glass, Ice & Crystal Gems & Smooth Stones Plastics Polished & Textured Woods Rock, Brick & Other Textures Weaves & Patterns Strokes, Fills & Shadows Glows, Neon & Halos In short, the software is a huge toolkit of great-looking textures, gradients, effects and styles to improve the look of your photographs or graphic art from within Adobe Photoshop Elements. A cynic might suggest that One-Click Wow! is really software being sold as a book, and as so, perhaps not worth the price-tag. However, the book is nicely printed on heavy-stock paper, the tutorial chapters are good, and 38 pages of 'catalog' really are more useful than the tiny thumbnails that show up in Photoshop Element menus. In summary, I recommend this book and it's disc to anyone wishing to learn more about, and get more out of, Adobe Photoshop Elements.
