Customer Review: I already had this book and really enjoyed it. When my granddaughter became interested in photography I thought she would get a lot out of it. When I found out that she was getting a new digital camera for Christmas I decided to order this book as an addition to her presents from us. At last report... more info
Customer Review: I had a real internal debate over whether to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 7 to Elements 8 or to CS4. I had used Photoshop a while back, but I really hated the interface, so I had gone with Elements several years ago. Elements is very good--it's got about 90% of what most people ever need. But,... more info
Customer Review: I love Scott Kelby but thisbook disappointed me. I was misled by he title. I expected a full book on camera techniques but what I got was intended for the professional photographer with lighting set-ups that are not in my range of interests.
Customer Review: I'm an amateur and this book really helps me.
I had just started reading this book and my photography skills already improved. I like that it doesn't get deep in technical terms and it just tells you, as the author says, like in a trip with him, what to do. The photo examples are very useful,... more info
Customer Review: I like this author's quick "here's how you do it" approach. He asks a question at the top of the page, shows a photo to illustrate it and then answers it all on one page. He has a notable lack of professional photo jargon which is nice for non-pros, who don't need to buy this book anyway. When there... more info
Customer Review: PSE8 without a book of this quality would be nearly impossible to learn for someone with no PhotoShop experience. Everything apprears to be there and thoroughly documented in relatively easy to follow steps. The only reason that I only gave it a 4 star rating is that it is almost a narrative and I... more info
Customer Review: If your into digital image editing before you use Lightroom 2 you need to read this wonderful book by Scott Kelby. He shows you all imaging editing steps that Lightroom 2 can do. It would be almost impossible to learn all the nuances of this software without reading this detailed book.
Customer Review: As a beginner digital photographer and new to the world of photo software, this book is perfect. It is easy to read and understand, humorous, gives step-by-step solutions to common problems and, most importantly, it is FUN. It is not an exhaustive desk-top reference for PS Elements, and I'm... more info
Customer Review: This is the 4th time I have ordered this book/DVD. I can't offer an opinion because NONE of the DVD's even played. ALL of them errored out. I have 3 DVD players and they didn't work on any of them. What the heck? Where is quality control? I LOVE Scott Kelby. Love everything he has done and I'm a... more info
Customer Review: This is a GREAT book. It has pictures that show you how to use the IPhone. I refer to it ALL the time because the IPhone is complicated. I would recommend it to EVERY IPhone owner!!
Customer Review: This book was not what I expected at all. I believe one can get almost all of what's in this book online....free! He's a wonderful photographer and should stick to just that. If you want MORE out of photoshop and want to modify photography, draw images, or create special effects, grab a copy of... more info
Customer Review: I absolutely love this book. I have it ridden with bookmarks and highlights. The Author is very good at describing steps and has a great sense of humor mixed in as well! I recommend this book!
Customer Review: First of all a disclaimer.... I was a reluctant convert to Photoshop, being a somewhat old-fashioned, conservative photography from the days of slides and negatives. I finally bought a copy of PSE 5 at the urgings of some of the younger photographers in my club. However my use of this tool was very... more info
Customer Review: I am not at all techo-savy and was a little overwhelmed with what to do with my new iPhone. This book was a great resource. Clear easy to understand instructions and photos on every page make it a valuable tool to help navigate your iPhone.
Customer Review: I'm a Real Estate Agent and bought this book for a very simple reason - make my property pictures look better and give myself a competitive edge. Little did I know it would turn me into a photography nut! Before reading the Kelby book I'd been using the same brightness/contrast, sharpness, and... more info
Customer Review: I enjoyed the book by Scott Kelby, the lessons going one by one was great experience. I have the software as well this book and learn alot in creating Photoshop Elements photo's. Raymond L. Licon
Customer Review: I'm a reasonably avid photography fan - I have a Nikon D40 and a copy of Photoshop.....so I'm dangerous. I always wanted to know how they did all those wonderful things in Photoshop. All i ever seemed to be able to do in it was change colors and levels.......any attempt at editing looked... more info
Customer Review: I like this book. It is for those who wants to learn some tricks they haven't learned in class or to help refresh your memories in some area. I am also satisfied purchasing the book from the seller.
