The screen suddenly goes to sleep every 5-10 minutes for no reason, and won't wake up. Occasionally I could wake it up by unplugging the video cable from my desktop, but even this would only work for a few minutes. I was completely disappointed, and returned it to Amazon. Amazon made my return very

I will say that sometimes this book is a difficult read, but I do like Eckhart Tolle. I have read "Stillness", and a third of "The Power of Now". I've read enough of the latter book to come up with certain conclusions. Tolle derives his ideas from the New Testament, Krishnamurti, and a lot from Z

Elements is tough but terrific
9/6/2008
The things you can do with Photoshop Elements are amazing, but it takes a while to learn. You can fine-tune good pictures, save badly exposed pictures, restore old pictures, create works of art with your pictures, or create works of art from scratch. The best way to learn Elements is by doing projects of practical examples. Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski give you those projects in their book with project photographs available for downloading. One word of warning - Adobe has been bringing out a new version of Elements every year. Version 7 has just been announced. Although there are many similarities among versions, it is best to have the book that fits your version. I'm sure that a book for Version 7 will be forthcoming.

Thank You.

PhotoShop Elements 6, the cookbook
9/4/2008
First the bottom line: I've had this book a few weeks now and I like it a lot. It has proved to be exactly the book I needed and it's small flaws don't keep me from both enjoying it and finding enormously useful. Well worth the money.

Who is the book for?
This is NOT a book for someone who is brand new to photo editing, nor would I recommend it for someone who is new to PSE. In fact, the author makes it quite clear that he's not going to tell you, for example, what the erasure tool does, he's going to tell you how to use it to get something accomplished. Also, if you're looking for a reference book on PSE I'd look elsewhere, the book's organization doesn't lend itself to that, though the index is good and the table of contents excellent for finding things.

So who is it for? Me. Okay, what I mean is this: I'm familiar with PSE but no expert, I know the general concepts, I can find most of the tools most of the time. What I need help with is putting those tools to use to get a job done. If that's you, quit reading and buy the book!

Pro: the good news

Basically, this is a project-oriented book. The authors lead you through how to do nearly everything that I can imagine (and a bunch I hadn't) with a digital image. Yes, they'll take you through the pretty basic stuff like cropping BUT they add in why to crop and some fundamental composition rules that will not just help you crop the image but make the image better. That's the goal--make your images better, more interesting and more satisfying to you and the audience. There's a good discussion of selection techniques--the sometimes tricky process of picking the parts of an image that need work. And there are chapters with fairly advanced (for me anyway) stuff relating to special effects, color management, and preparing your shots for a show. All along the way, there are step-by-step "recipes" for you to follow and many clever, time saving tips and tricks.

In short, the book is readable, thorough and it will help make your images better.

Con: the not-so-good news.

Others have commented about the often lame attempts at humor. Personally, I found it easy to ignore it but I agree that it's both lame and quickly annoying. Not bad enough to keep me from recommending the book tho'. I also agree with another reviewer's comments about the difficulty in reading the screen shot clips--but the dark background from PSE 6 is preserved and it makes seeing the too tiny text difficult. Mostly tho' I didn't need to read the text there to understand the point being made.

Pretty much, that's it for the bad news in my view. Enough to keep it from 5 stars but not enough to keep me from highly recommending the book. If your the target audience--Get It and enjoy!

Thank You.

Great Book Except For A Few Editing Misses
9/2/2008
Beautifully illustrating their instructions with step-by-step examples to demonstrate the techniques they teach, Kelby and Kloskowski cover everything about handling photos from basic red-eye reduction to calibrating your monitor. Both PC and Mac are covered by this volume. One warning: because this is an update of a previous book on PSE, there are a few things that are out-of-date in it that weren't caught in editing, such as a recommendation for a plug-in that isn't compatible with version 6, so keep that in mind when using it.

Thank You.

This is an excellent manual to accompany Elements 6 software. This book was recommended by our photo club members unamimously.

Thank You.
