 Avoid this book! June 25, 2008

I found this book almost impossible to use. The problem is that all instructions are color encoded, and it is extremely difficult to match the colors on the illustration tags with the color-encoded text. I am looking at a page right now that uses three shades of red, three of blue, and three of green. Trying to match the text with the tag color is way beyond difficult. Unfortunately I bought this through an affiliated merchant and didn't save the receipt, so I lose. But it's not that much $. I am dumping this in the trash!!!

This book would be ideal for someone without any experience in working with photographs. For me it was too basic, and unfortunately it put me to sleep from the boredom! Every little tiny thing is mentioned as far as what to do on the keyboard. After going through several pages of basics and still not being able to do anything such as loading photos into the right place, I would finally try to figure out what I wanted to know on my own. Then the frustration would set in. Finally I discarded this book and took some classroom lessons! Good luck to all of you!
A bit too superficial for me May 30, 2008

The screen shots and clip art are great. However, the book is very elementary and doesn't address many techniques in depth. For instance, it touches on albums and keytags, but doesn't talk about categories at all. It says it tells how to add photos to catalogs, but it doesn't. It doesn't discuss how to use catalogs, albums, categories, sub-categories and keytags to really organize photos.
It does a nice job explaining layers, so it is worth the money I spent for that. However, it doesn't talk about how to do some common, basic tasks such as erasing power lines and window air conditioners from photos.
I am searching for a more comprehensive book on Elements 6.0.
No help at all May 18, 2008

Two hours of reading and still can't figure out how to attach pictures from Photoshop to Yahoo e-mail.
 A few things don't match, otherwise very good. May 14, 2008

Ocassionally I've found a few visuals that don't match my screen.........then I have to go back to a previous chapter and try to work through it. It might be that I have a slightly different version of PSE 6. Sometimes the visual is a bit small for my old eyes. But in all, the chapters are well done.
