Best elements book

weatherwise2 · 02-24-2008, 07:56 PM

I got PS Element about a month ago along with Lightroom. I know I'm under-utilizing PS Elements since I don't really understand layers and some of the other aspects of this program. What is the best photoshop elements book that would give me good step by step instructions?

For example I want to do some simple panos, or combine my lunar eclipse photos into one picture. If I better understood layers better I might want to to do some other combinieng or manipulations

Maybe you should have a look at : "The Photoshop Elements 6 Book For Digital Photographers" by Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski

I'm told it should be pretty good (yes should be since it's not released yet, but you can pre-order it from Kelby Training).

Scott Kelby is one of the leading Photoshop tutors and Matt Kloskowski is a leading Lightroom tutor so I guess the book will be pretty good (I pre-ordered a new book on Photoshop and Layer by Matt Kloskoswki myself a few days ago so I hope it's a good book

).

You can probably find a lot more PSE books on Amazon and other stores.

It's hard to go wrong with Scott Kelby and Matt K., they both are great Photoshop teachers.

I have PSE 6 The Missing Manuel by Barbara Brundage and it's a very good book.

Elements Village is a good website and community that can get you up to speed with layers. It's run by Scott Kelby's company. Link to the main page.
