Great Reference Book

Buy it if you own Elements 5. It's helpful from A to Z.

Comparing This book to Scott Kelby's...Get the Brundage book.

I bought two books -- one by Scott Kelby, and this book -- "Photoshop Elements 5 the Missing Manual" by Barbara Brundage.
After reading Kelby's, I opened The Missing Manual book by Brundage. I never look back. Brundage is not only a lot better, it is in a different league. This is the standard all other Photoshop learning book should copy.

Get the Missing Manual. You will never regret it.
I regreted buying the Kelby book. It is up for resale.

This book is not for newbies to Photoshop Elements 5

This book is well written and very inclusive of needed information, however, I am new to Elements 5 and it is more than I can handle at this time. It would have been nice for the author to have started from the easiest to the hardest information, but I find she is forever jumping around and forever sending me to other pages to understand the section I am now reading?????

When trying to locate a task I want to do on Elements, I can never find a reference for it in the index.

I would very much recommend this book to anyone who has had experience with other editions of elements, but not for those of us just starting out. I will keep this book as a great resource for future reference, but I think I need to purchase another book that can dummy this info down for me. LOL. Hummmmm, and here I thought I was a fairly intelligent person??? Surprise!!!!

Great if you want to learn Elements from scratch

Before I purchased this book, I tried to use the help features, but I couldn't get anywhere. Once I started to read this book, I began to make some progress as well as learn things I didn't plan on learning. I've only begun learning Elements, but all I need is there to learn as much as I wish when I have the time to do so. Before this book, I began to wonder if I ever could learn Elements 5.

Great Book

I bought this book to try to squeeze all I could out of Elements before I move on to the full Photoshop. I have been very happy with what I have learned so far. I decided to read even the parts in which I felt quite accomplished and found many helpful hints that I did not realize existed.
The book is easy to read and certainly not over my head, however, I have read that some found it too complicated. I would say if you don't know the basics of using a computer then you might need some additional help.
Elements is my first photography program, so I am no expert. I think this book will save me the price of moving up to the full blown version, and the trouble of taking courses to learn it.
