Someone needs to write a Photoshop Elements manual exclusively for Mac users. This manual defeats the ultimate intent of owning a Mac. Many people, myself included, love using a Mac because we prefer not to spend hours tinkering with a computer (though I did that for years with a PC).
I've found this book, especially instructions related to printing, close to useless. Which is to say they're cursory, poorly organized and often unclear. I own an Imac.
Photoshop Elements is complicated enough to learn without its capabilities being further muddied by someone who cannot think clearly or is basically uninterested in Macs. I regret having bought this one. Why is this so.
Because the book is essentially designed for PC users, and details that a Mac user would need are offered as an afterthought.
I bought 2 other books about learning PSE6 and I wish I had bought this one first and I wouldn't have needed the other books.
You don't have to work through the whole book to learn just what you need to fix a problem either. Each one has had wonderful shortcuts and settings information that make using the Adobe program much easier. Kelby always produces a thorough and entertaining look at Photoshop Elements. This is the 3rd of his books I have tried.
this book wasn't helpful for me, i returned it the first day.it's a good book for getting your photo chops together.for learning photoshop element moves, i wouldn't recommend this one unless you already have an understanding of photoshop.
Instructions are done in steps which makes it easy to follow. This is an excellent book with lots of color photos to guide you through the tasks.
