 Good overview, short on details July 5, 2008
svt93 (Westminster, MD)
On page xv of this book the authors describe my major beef with it when they say, "I tried not to put things in this book that are already in ever other Elements book out there". While the content of the book is really very good, it leaves a lot out. If you are new to Photoshop of any variety, this book is not for you. It is a collection of individual "recipes" for making various corrections and adjustments. I am not new to Photoshop so they all make sense to me, but it still would have been good to have Chapter 1 be a crash course in the basics.
 Great for MACs too July 3, 2008

I used to be a PC user and have loved Elements since version 3 and Kelty's books on it's usage. I recently switched to a MAC for numerous reasons and purchased Elements 6 when it came out. I have purchased several books for MAC on its use but none where as good as the PC versions by Kelty. I wrote to his site only to be told that they did not have anything for the MAC and was disappointed. I happened to be in the mood to just try the book as I found that a lot of what was in his PC version 5 book I was able to relate to the MAC operations, so why not give his latest one a try. Once I got the book and started reading it it didn't take long before it told me that the book was for both operating systems...hooray!!!! thanks, Kelty and I love the step-by-step process and pics to get me thru a process...everyone BUY this book

this book would be excellent except for the publisher's screw-up on the pages in chapter one where page 17-33 are missing and some pages are repeated. an email to the publisher has, tp date, remained unanswered.
Scott Kelby's Done It Again June 22, 2008

I first bought Kelby's guide to Photoshop Elements 4.0. I was flabbergasted at how easily I learned to do fairly complicated things with the program, and have eagerly upgraded to each new book as I upgraded my software. I whiten teeth and eyes with ease, and have even used his direction to add (or subtract!) people to or from photos.
The best thing about these books is their inclusion of EVERY step, for each technique taught. He doesn't skip steps because he assumes you know them-- it's all there.
If I had to recommend only one PSE book to someone trying to get the hang of the program, this would be it. In fact, I'm providing it as an adjuct to PSE classes I teach at my scrapbook store; it's the perfect way for my students to move beyond the basics with confidence!
Excellent Teaching Book June 13, 2008

I have a number of books by Scott Kelby and find his writing easy to follow and I always learn something new. The book itself had alot of the same examples as the Elements 5 book. I know that the book is written for the beginner so that was appropriate. I am hoping he comes out with a teaching book with more advanced topics. Great book and would recommend for anyone using Elements.
