Great introduction
 
Review Date: December 10, 2008
Reviewer: Joseph B. Cohen, Brooklyn, NY United States
Excellent introduction to Elements 7 and just what I've come to expect from this Dummies series. Just got Elements 7 and wanted/needed to get me going and let's see something now. In one-half hour I had my first photo edited. Not a wiz yet but give me another half-hour. Learned the interface, was able to easily follow the instructions. Good clear English and easy reading.
Elements made easy . . . . .

Reviewer: Warren Von Uffel,
This volume covers the most used steps in using Elements version 7.0 very well. I've been an Elements user since its inception. Not at a very high level, just to a degree necessary for good image production for personal use.

As Elements takes on more of the matel of a full photoshop application, A good practical instruction book was needed and this book for dummies has filled the bill to a tee.

It provides good clear and complete instruction of all of the features within Elements. I've been slowly learning things that I never knew where there. Most will never be used; but should I need to investigate them the answers can be found within.
Not for Dummies, but a good manual

Reviewer: John W. Kohler, Lakeland, Fl.
Unlike other Dummies books I have (Windows XP and Vista for Dummies), this is more like the manual that should have come with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. It's not for people that have never used a photographic program before. It assumes you have some knowledge of digital enhancements. That being said, it's a very good manual and it's in color. It's a good desk reference. It's not meant to be read from cover to cover. After reading the first few chapters, you can use as a reference to get you over the hurtles you don't understand, give you some common sense tips, enlighten you on some things you probably didn't know, and give you some helpful short-cuts. All-in-all, a very useful manual to have, and the DVD is great to get you started even before you start and reading. Two thumbs up from me.
Good Summary - Easy to Read - Helpful in Reviewing Skills

Reviewer: Michael -,
One of the better Dummies' book and a good reference. I found it easy to read what I already knew from other books and training and I learned a few additional tips that I had previously missed from other training books.

Not the ultimate Photoshop Elements 7 book, which I am still waiting to come out; but definitely a good second contendor and a easy read. Easy read is the "Dummies" touch to make it as user friendly as possible.
Gets the job done

Reviewer: Max Crowe, Panama, Republic of PANAMA
In the classical Dummies style, covers the topic in an orderly and easy-to-follow fashion. Considering that PS Elements 7 comes with no printed manual, and the limitations of its built-in guided mode, this is an indispensable companion. Maybe due to the many features of Elements 7, the book is quite a wade-thru, and I will probably never make it cover-to-cover, but as a replacement for the manual, it works very nicely.
