Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual
I am new to photoshop, and recently bought the new Elements 6. I was looking for a book to help with digital scrapbooking in elements, and found this. It is not specifically for scrapbookng, but I have found everything I needed quickly and easily! It is a fantastic book, written in easy to understand format. I have already recommended it to other friends both new and old to photoshop. MUST HAVE!!

I was well aware that PSE would require some effort to get me up to speed on its efficient use. I also knew I wasn't going to find good written documentation with the program itself. After doing a little research I selected this title by Barbara Brundage, and it was the best choice for me! I've worked my way through the bulk of the book, trying out the different procedures as I go. Every step is very clearly explained, many include screen shots, and there is enough cross-referencing that I am beginning to feel pretty comfortable with the program's myriad capabilities even though I've only had it a few days. Unlike some reviewers, I feel the index, combined with the table of contents, is quite adequate to help re-locate a concept or a procedure when I need to go back and check. In a former life I wrote a number of tips and technique sheets on much less complicated software, so I have some feel for the difficulties of communicating all that a program can do. This author is highly skilled at doing just that, and I HIGHLY recommend this guide...it's worth every penny!

Another outstanding book in the "Missing Manual" line. Barbara Brundage makes Photoshop Elements 6 not only easy to use, but also a whole lot of fun!! Adobe has many applications that are downright intimidating to many users out there, and it's very refreshing that "Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual" was created. From covering the basics of how to get around the Elements application, the author starts of with the basics of getting your images onto your computer, and the most simple of effects like rotation and cropping. From there, she discusses the all-important topic of layers and basic image retouching so you can take your digital images and make them go from good to GREAT!!! Continuing on with a look at filters and how to get your images printed so they look beautiful and/or posting them to the web or emailing them, this guide is perfect for all new Photoshop Elements users who want to get their feet web on the way to becoming an Elements super user.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. While it's a little bit more expensive than other books in the "Missing Manual" line, the price should NOT be a factor in your decision making. If you are looking for a book that will assist in your knowledge of learning how to use Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 you have come to the right place. If you want to learn more about what is included in the newest release of this outstanding application, look no further. If just want to read an entertaining book and expand your knowledge of how to work with digital imagery so you can make your images look better than ever, again you will NOT be disappointed.
This is the way all books should be written: clearly, simply, and enjoyable.
***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
 A good first-book-out on Elements 6. December 14, 2007

This is good book on Elements 6 and among the very first to become available. Weak on the organizer though, and as usual with almost all computer books, a very weak index.
The Missing Manual Photoshop Elements 6 is a must buy. November 25, 2007

The Missing Manual has filled in the gaps that you miss when reading the book thats included with the product. This manual has helped me understand Digital Photography at the pro level. Now I know not only theory but also when and why I must do things.
