Summary: Complete Guide
Comment: The Photoshop Elements Bible is a detailed explanation of the
software, & has enough examples to help you along. When you get
bogged down in the program, just grab this publication & you
can find an answer. I is not a "quick-read" though, but gives
you an answer.

Summary: Photoshop Elements 2 Bible
Comment: Excellent reference book for Photoshop Elements 2 users. Unlike the user manual, this book explains the reason behind the menu selections. Gives many good hints on using the software. Though some very good basic photo repair techniques are given, there are some books that cover this specific topic better. All the other topics (of which there are many) are covered very well. Great book for getting new ideas and tips for some very creative topics. Would highly recommend for both the beginner and somewhat experienced user.

Summary: Elements is cheap, but not simple. This book is esssential.
Comment: I figured that with Elements costing under $100, it would be really simple to learn on my own, but unlike the reviewer who said you can figure stuff out just by using the program, I was stumped by several of the features. I got the Elements Bible because it seemed like the most thorough coverage (judging by the index and teh table of contents) and it was. It was also enjoyable to read, and it gave me good ideas in the color section. If you want to learn Elements, get this book.

Summary: For a 'bible' this is far less than expected!
Comment: If you expect to find some cool effects and ideas for your graphic projects, you will have to look elsewhere. This is just a basic tutorial describing Photoshop Elements menu features, which, of course, anyone can figure out by simply using the program.

Summary: Now I know what I'm doing!
Comment: Photoshop Elements pricetag made me believe it would be a very simple program and I'd have no problem teaching myself to use it. While it is a very "user-friendly" program, I was confused by several of the tools and really felt like I was just scratching the surface with what I was able to figure out by myself. So I got a book. After looking at a bunch of other books, picked Laurie Ulrich's Elements Bible, and now I really get it and feel like I know what I'm doing. I'm using all the tools, playing with filters, designing really sharp stuff for our company website and I'm even teaching people in my department how to use Elements. It would have taken me months of frustration to figure this all out on my own, but with this book, I've really gotten up to speed fast. The book reads like the author is talking TO you, not AT you, and the examples are great, and the art in the glossy section gave me a lot of good ideas. Get this book if you really want to get all there is out of Elements and have fun learning about it.
