Book Description
Scott Kelby offers full-color, graphically rich, linear, tutorial- and project-based examples of every key step in the digital photography process. From experimenting with camera settings, through capturing and manipulating the image, through editing, output and organization, this book is designed for the digital photographer who knows aesthetics but who wants a concise guide to "grip it and rip it" usage of digital technology. Photoshop Elements is a very powerful and affordable image editing software. It carries many of the same features Photoshop does without the complicated graphs and tools. It also carries it all at a much less expensive price tag - only $99, compared Photoshop's $600. Anyone making the transition from film to digital photography will learn the stuff that is critical for Photoshop Elements -- no theory, no challenging the readers to come up with their own settings. This book shows the readers exactly "how to do it."

FROM THE PUBLISHER

This book breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers that's never been done before - it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly "how to do it." It's not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge you t come up with your own settings or figure things out on you own. Instead, it does something that virtually no other Elements book has ever done - it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why.
