Description

Adobe Photoshop Elements is a raster graphics editor for entry-level photographers, image editors, and hobbyists. Though it shares many of Photoshop CC's high-end features, it also boasts a significant number of simple to use, yet highly effective tools not found at the professional level. This book presents the complexities of image editing in easy-to-follow, bite-sized chunks, allowing you to quickly recognize the editing challenge, and helps you to identify the tools and techniques required to make improvements, and to apply those techniques quickly and efficiently. You will start by learning how to import, organize, manage, edit, and use your pictures in a format that's designed for creative photography projects.

Just what I asked for

This is a big and very comprehensive book – with a bold ‘buy-me!’ cover – that, from the start of my reading outlined to me just how little I know about photo editing on a Mac despite stabbing at it for the last 15 years or so.Originally I thought I’d dip in and out to the bits of photo editing that I have difficulty with but soon decided this book is so explicit and well written that I’d better accept it as a text book. So I started to read it from start to finish to really benefit from all those features I’d glossed over previously and are there to help rather than to hinder you. That means starting with the Organizer!The writer obviously knows his subject inside out, and has worked his way through the various versions of the application over the years. His range of photographic material to demonstrate features is varied and interesting though I’d have liked some full page photos of final edited pix.I like the lightbulb symbol - things that are quick tips - and of course the well laid out contents with a complete index at the back: two very important features for the editor fairly familiar with all the options but who perhaps wants to dip in or recap something specific.One thing other aspect also appealed to me: it’s readability. The paragraphs are separated by a line of space not just a customary indent. Personally I find this kind of layout easy to follow and far more relaxing to read - especially having the book in digital form.

I am still learning the program but so far it has worked very, very well I am so pleased with it that I bought Elements 2020 and Premier Elements 2020.

This is an excellent book about an excellent photo editing software. Robin Nichols has provided a comprehensive guide to how to get the best out of Adobe Photoshop Elements. The software includes many of the editing processes and tools from Photoshop that are most relevant to photographers, and the book gives detailed step by step directions on how to use all the available tools. This includes really helpful tips on workflow management, from setting up Photoshop Elements on your computer to get the best out of the product, through to exporting the final result online or in print. The book is clearly set out and contains on almost every page really useful and easy to follow photographic illustrations of the features. The extensive index makes it simple to locate and link to content about specific tools and editing solutions. The book's easy accessibility makes it perfect for someone with limited photo editing experience but also provides practical information on using the more sophisticated editing techniques and solutions that will appeal to more experienced photo editors.

If you didn’t grow up with photoshop, or use it everyday (or even if you do) this book is an absolute necessity to have at your side to be able to know how to do all the things you know photoshop can do. The book is easy to understand and well referenced.
