Who this book is for
Mastering Adobe Photoshop Elements - Sixth Edition is written by a photographer for photographers of all skill levels. Its target audience is anyone with a thirst for knowledge and a desire to take control of their file organization while improving their visual creativity potential through the incredible power of photo editing.
Although novices are advised to start at the beginning, the book's structure is one that allows you to sample the chapters almost at random, depending on your skill level and the direction in which you might want to take your work.
It's certainly not an attempt to be the only book you'll ever need on the subject, but I hope it will entertain and inform those of you who want to escalate your level of expertise, from beginner through intermediate levels, and eventually toward being a professional in the fields of image creation, editing, photography, and even graphic design.
