Excellent book,
This review is from: Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide (Paperback)
This book by Jeff Carlson is another "Visual Quickstart Guide". And, as such, there a visuals aplenty. This is always a plus for me since I learn most readily by example, rather than by direction.

Complicated Flow, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide (Paperback)
All the valid info is here but it takes way too much time to find the most valuable info given the books layout. Why not just write a book that tells the reader how to do the top ten or twenty things most photo editors want to do then use the rest of the book to give more detail to those who want it? This book takes time and patience and is not for the casual user. I think most elements users are non-professionals. Why make something complicated just for the sake of complicated?
