Format:Paperback
I'm an old fashioned photographer in that I know a fair amount as to how to manipulate a camera shot, but place me in front of Photoshop & I'm sunk even with the aid of the doorstop of a manual that I bought to help me negotiate the programme. I get a pain in the neck just lifting the manual up so Photoshop & I have remained strangers up until now. With the arrival of 'Digital Expressions: Creating Digital Art With Photoshop Elements' by the highly talented Susan Tuttle, all this has changed.
Susan's intention is to teach us how to create beautiful digital art, something I've yearned to learn about as I want to incorporate such images into the art journals I keep. But hold on for one tiny second. In her introduction, in a lovely, lucid format, she has taught me what I've been looking for a long time - how to start working with Photoshop Elements! My days of a pain in the neck are over. She then proceeds to take you deeper and in thoughtful, step by step detail & with clear, luscious illustrations, shows you how to create digital art with chapters devoted to manipulating images, painting & drawing, layering elements to create digital collages, merging images to create montage art and incorporating traditional art into digital works. There are 25 projects to follow and a bonus CD with goodies for you to play with.
This book is lavish - information, inspiration, techniques & ideas abound. This is the perfect introduction & springboard for those of you who want to learn how to create digital art. Read this book and then run with it. Susan is giving you the key to the door and is the perfect companion to usher you into the world of digital art. I'm enjoying playing with this book so much & would heartily recommend it.

I have tried to learn digital image collage for quite some time, but never got the hang of it. I also only have Photoshop Elements, and many of the books just don't cover that, some of them are quite sniffy about Elements, which is a brilliant programme and has everything you need.
I also couldn't find a book which dealt with how to make digital collages in an arty way - many are based on just tidying up your photos, or putting funny faces on your kids for a Christmas card or whatever.
Susan has managed where others have failed - I am now making digital collages with , if not ease, then without too much of a problem. The book is laid out in a very user friendly way, and comes complete with images to use in the exercises, which makes everything so much easier, you can compare your results with the book - both using the same image.
It's a beautiful book, and I'm really pleased with it.

As a huge user of photoshop, its always great to see a title that deals exclusively with this medium. It teaches a good solid background for the programme concerned and above all else will definitely teach the reader a number of useful skills from the blend through to the creation of original art. Easy to follow, explained very clearly and with easy to utilise instructions it will become a manual that you'll reach for to learn lessons as well as to find some inspiration time and again.
