Review
"... gives excellent training in virtually every aspect of Photoshop Elements 3 for Windows.The style is easy to follow... The feel is that of personal tuition to be followed at one's own pace and I found that the lessons were then easy to apply to my own photographic images." - Peter Dodsworth, Ping, March 2006
Product Description
Adobe Photoshop Elements software is a powerful tool designed for editing of images from digital sources such as digital cameras, scanners, CDs, and video files. You can do amazing things with it such as crop images, change lighting, remove red-eye from photos, apply special effects, blend or animate images, and optimize images for the web. But if you are new to image editing, you may find it complex and feel overwhelmed by all the things you can do and not know where to start. If you are an experienced Photoshop Elements user, you may want to learn some expert tricks. Whatever your level of experience, Photoshop Elements 3 for Windows One-on-One can teach you how to become an expert using Photoshop Elements and create great images for print, email, or the web.
Photoshop Elements 3 for Windows One-on-One, the third in a series by Photoshop expert Deke McClelland, is a complete training system on how to use Adobe® Photoshop Elements software to edit and optimize images. The book contains 12 step-by-step lessons on real-world tasks along with 2 hours of video tutorials on CD. The samples in the book are in full color, so you can see how the images actually look. You can read about a particular technique in the book and then see how it's done first hand in the video.
Deke's conversational style and full-color photographs make learning both fun and easy. In addition to learning how to use the software for specific tasks, you will also learn about photography and graphic theory, best practices, and tips for avoiding problems. Both image-editing novices and those already familiar with using Photoshop Elements will find valuable tips so they can use the software to do things such as create photo-montages (composites), restore old photos, prepare images to post on the Web, and archive photos. If you want to make your images the best they can be, then Photoshop Elements 3 for Windows One-on-One is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars
wordy, but great book to learn from, 26 April 2005
By T. Tran - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Photoshop Elements 3 One-on-One (Paperback)
I've never even heard of Photoshop Elements before this book. I downloaded the trial version, and gave it a whirl. Like many others, I have oodles of unused pictures that have been sitting on my computer for quite some time. As I was going through the book, I managed to learn how to do so many things with those pictures that I now print them out for display. I can't believe it: me, literally a beginner, doing things that I would never imagine, thanks to this book. Although the book was quite wordy, it has plenty of illustrations and screenshots to keep me on track.
A quick recap of what I think of Photoshop Elements 3 for Windows One-on-One
Pros:
Easy to follow
Shows many tricks that I would have never imagined
Plenty of illustrations, screenshots, and before/after photos
Training video of CD
Shows how to use the Organizer, a great plus
Cons:
Alot of reading
Training video uses Quicktime, (but I'm just being picky)
Overall: I definitely would recommend this book

Excellent introduction to Elements, 26 May 2005
By Al Sackling - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Photoshop Elements 3 One-on-One (Paperback)
I'd give this book 5 stars even if it didn't have the fantastic video lessons on the included CD. I knew nothing about digital photography or image editing before buying this book, and now my pictures look great. Thanks, Deke! I strongly recommend this book.

A Real Learning Experience, 3 Jun 2005
By T. Maiden "Elements Promoter" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Photoshop Elements 3 One-on-One (Paperback)
Here is a book that can really help you use Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0. The author uses his experience as Photoshop teacher to offer a comprehensive learning tool in the form of a book and a CD. The book contains all color pictures, illustrations, and screen shots with step by step instructions with which one can easily follow along. The CD not only contains the pictures from the book but instructional quick time movies for each chapter which really add to the learning experience.
Sprinkled throughout the book are "Pearls of Wisdom" paragraphs or pages with important facts and tips about the program. And for those who can't be bothered with menus, each chapter lists the lots of speed keys. To insure one has completely grasped a topic, there is a multiple choice quiz after each chapter. You will learn something by reading this book!
