Product Description
Ideal for scrapbookers, serious and casual photographers, and budding graphic artists alike, Photoshop Elements 8 is more powerful and easier to use than previous versions.

You get easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for everything from importing photos to organizing, editi… More >>
This is a very comprehensive book. The author will give you every possible detail about every possible function until your head is spinning. I’m not sure that “Rain Man” could remember it all. After about page 75, I had to give it a rest.

I admit I am new to Adobe and I realize it is a complex piece of soft ware. I eagerly awaited this book because the program is not at all intuitive. Once I recieved the book, I was eager to dive in, I was quickly disappointed. Though I have an MBA from a top school and am far from stupid, I found this book often incomprensible to a beginner. It seems to presume a level of knowledge no new person would have, the task instructions while often detailed sometimes are either incomlete or vague and often you can not find the tool, icon, menu the author speaks of.
It refers you back and forth from section to section. The visual aides are often on pages somewhat removed from the instructions. And, forget the index. I was simply trying to learn how to save an altered image and felt like I needed a missing manual to the Missing Mannual. Between Adobe designers and those who are trying to help decifer the hiroglyphics, goood luck. Any one out there have a better solution, I’m game.

Book arrived in time for Christmas giving and was appreciated by my daughter to enable her to more quickly dive into use of the new software she also received for Christmas.
