TOPS! lucid, factual, complete, easy-to-follow along; but missing a CD

As with the Elements 2 and 3 "Missing Manuals" the author continues her complete mastery of the topic -- after all, she's on the development team, and a dedicated responder in the Adobe User Forum as well. If some of the text and illustrations look familiar from prior editions, it's only because that topic hasn't changed from previous versions. Everything new added in PSE5 -- and it's well worth the update -- has been seamlessly integrated into the existing material; unlike some of the mass producers who all-too-obviously just tack the new material onto their current product.

This book is refreshingly easy to read and understand, yet covers all the essentials thoroughly -- including RAW processing -- with extra hints and tips for the advanced user. Even included are excellent instructions for getting rid of those intrusive "Organizer" and "Fetcher" programs that Adobe forces on Windows (but not MAC) users.

Some of the tutorial follow-along images can be downloaded, to be sure. But this guide book would have been better yet if an inexpensive CD with full-size images [rather than pixel-starved web downloads] were included so that the user could truly grasp the enormous richness of the program which now is close to being a 'mini-Photoshop'.

Great Book and manual.

This book was all I could have hoped for. It covers everything and I started learning things right away in even the first chapter and I have used Elements 3 as well as Photoshop 7. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get better and to use Elements 5 to its full potential. This is the only book you will ever need for 5.

Great book!

After reading the Photoshop Elements 5.0 User Guide, I felt sadly lacking in information as to how to actually use the program to the best advantage. When I saw The Missing Manual mentioned in PC Photo magazine, I quickly got a copy from Amazon. It's easily worth the price. The book is very well-written, starting with a general overview of the Organizer and Editor, then moves to more detailed task-sprcific instructions. The color illustrations add greatly to the text, and there are frequent references to the book's Web site, where sample photos are available.

To sum up, a very useful, well-produced guide to the software at retail price - a bargain at the Amazon price.

Excellent Companion to Photoshope Elements 5

Excellent book to help the user dive into the many features of Adobe Photoshop Elements. The book covers everything from the basics to working with raw images. I found that I could either just sit and read it or work along by opening either my photos or one of the downloads offered. Well worth the money.

PS Elements 5.0

Excellent Manual. This is a great companion to excellent software. Easy to understand with helpful downloads from the Missing Manual Website.
