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.

Very thorough book detailing the capabilities of pretty complex software.

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.

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.

Fiona Nichols Nov 18, 2019

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.
