Summary: Great book for the beginner
Comment: As a magazine editor, I've worked with the author on a number of articles in graphic arts. She always presents information in a to-the-point, easy-to-read manner, and "How to do Everything with Photoshop Elements" is no exception.
There's a targeted audience here -- the consumer and the business user who's not a graphic artist -- and the book does an excellent job of teaching photo-editing basics using Photoshop Elements. Instead of the command-by-command approach of two-inch-thick guides, this book focuses on the most-common jobs of occasional users: simple color correction, sharpening, cropping, etc.
The book also deaks with some non-photo work, such as drawing and text effects. For the graphics pro, these are tasks better suited for a program such as Adobe Illustrator; however, for the general audience Joss aims for, the details show a great way to get the most power and value from Photoshop Elements.
This isn't a book for power users, but Photoshop Elements isn't a software for intense graphics work, either. "How to do Everything with Photoshop Elements" provides some friendly, non-technie instruction that provides basic skills.
So why three stars? The writing and instruction are easily four to four and one-half on the rating scale; however, the book could've used more color illustrations of commands and techniques. The book's layout and art quality (including the missing chapter-title art) shows some slap-dash work and inattention by the publishing company; Joss' clear writing and good instruction deserves better.

Summary: Learning Digital Imaging
Comment: This book misses a lot of details and "How to"..
Many examples are difficult to complete and results are not easy to achieve..And does not answer the questions.
Not good for beginners in Photoshop Elements.

Summary: disappointing imaging
Comment: I bought this book the day I bought elements. I don't believe the author spent quality time on those issues which were important to me. I'm terribly confused on layers,filters etc. and her examples not only being in b&w were hard to discern, the examples didn't seem apporpriate. I thought I would learn how to maximize the use of an 8 by 11 piece of photo paper by bringing as many different images as I could to that one sheet, but nothing was written to help me. Confused and disappointed.
