It was flawed by editorial errors and having photos too small or divided by page breaks to be useful. "The Photographer's Eye" does not suffer from these flaws. This book tackles a difficult topic and, in my opinion, does a great job. Freeman breaks composition and design into elements like delay, color, framing etc. Several times he shows alternate views ...             The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes (Voices That Matter)22 reviews Joe McNally New Riders Press, 2009 Tips and Tricks from 30 Years of Experience If you are challenged by lighting, this is your book.

Photoshop Elements is one of the few pieces of software that is VERY difficult to learn - and every time I try to use the help files I'm none the wiser.
