Does what it says on the tin
I bought Photoshop Elements in August 2008. I found the online manuals somewhat confusing and my results were patchy so I bought Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: The Missing Manual. I wanted to both read through it and keep it as a reference book. The writing style is clear and I am more than half way through the book. My technique and workflow is improving all the time. I would recommend Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: The Missing Manual to anyone other than an expert in Photoshop.
Worth the money!
Answers all of my questions. Easy to read or use as a reference source.

Trying to get by on the help menu or material that comes with the programs is a waste of time.

I am just starting to get into Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: The Missing Manual and have already obtained solutions to vexing problems that I did not have the patience to run to ground by using on line help and tutorials. The book helps me decide what is and is not important in the use of Elements 6.0 for the Mac - then provides the answers to my questions.
For example, in a matter of minutes, I was able to find out how to "right click" to edit an image in Elements directly from iPhoto and then how to save the changed image back to iPhoto. My Apple iMac software (both iPhoto and Elements 6.0) were on the wrong settings and I was having a terrible time trying to figure out the changes I needed to make in Preferences. Even the Apple in store Rep was not able to explain ... Read More
