4 out of 5 stars Mis-ordered but looked good!   November 22, 2009
C. Frazier (Eclectic, AL USA)
We thought we had ordered the PC Program, Adobe Photo Shop Elements 6, which is no where to be found. Returned the book the day of receiving it. But it looked informative!

The book is one recommended for two classes I am enrolled in at Cypress College. It seems to be a good reference book for the subject.

I leave this on my desk as I often go to it as a refrence. The enclosed cd is a big help. When learning a new technique step by step. I would of given this a 5 star, but I would of appreciated if Mr. Andrews organized a seprate chapter on making selections and a seprate chapter on Layers, as these are the really strong aspects that makes Elements a cut above other photo software instead of combining the two into one chapter.
