I have found this very easy to follow and learned much about using my Photoshop program. Well worth having to answer questions and help you make better use of your program.

D. GoreWhen ever I am in doubt about learning something new the first thing I look for is a "Dummies" book. The Photoshop Elements 6 Dummies book came through just like all the rest. I use it any time I need to find out how to do something quickly. Even though I take an on line class in how to use Photoshop 6, I keep my "Dummies" book beside my computer. When all else fails I can get the explanation I need from that book. Great Book!!!!

Since I'm fairly new to digital imaging, I purchased this book to help me get thru learning the Photoshop Elements 6.0. I absolutely think it has helped a lot, mainly because it puts things in simpler terms for someone like me.
