Informative but poor quality printing
|
the information is good, however..
my one real negative is the quality of the paper as mentioned by another reviewer. it is very poor as far as the images go (fine for text). it is difficult to distinguish detail in the images, and as it is a photographic imaging book this is a pretty big minus!

Good manual

I purchased this book for 2 months ago and i have had time to go throuhgt it enough to recommend this book as a manual for elements 6. It will not teach you how to make picture art but will help you to understand and use elements 6. Could like that the organiser had been more covered. A good book if you are new to elements 6.

PE6 - Manual Still Missing

I had great hopes for this book. Wonderful reviews on amazon.com and so on. For a book about graphics, it's a real disappointment. It's badly printed on cheap paper, so that it's almost impossible to distinguish between before and after photos, for example. And as Elements uses a trendy black ground, screen shots are almost impossible to distinguish. Having said that, the content is excellent: entertaining and interesting, generally well written. Just a dreadful production job - and I mean really appalling. Check it out before buying.

Having praised BBs previous editions of this book,I can only reiterate
my opinion that if you just want one book to guide you through the many
facets of Adobes latest afordable masterpiece this is it.As good as Philip Andrews books are...& they are very good,Barbara Brundage seems to know the next question that you are going to ask.You don't have to ferit(!)about in the index as much,looking for the right word to lead to the solving of your question.Get it.Just as a little PS go to the chapter on RAW images & learn to revel in the fact that Adobe now let you edit your JEPEG & TIFF files in the super new RAW workroom...wonderful.Just try that CLARITY filter.(Can this be down to the Danish Rawshooter guys?)BUY & ENJOY.
