Usually we're very high on the Classroom books, and while this one is excellent, we question if there's a genuine need for it.
We fear Adobe is putting way too much emphasis on online photo finishing services and emailing photos while ignoring Element's true potential. Their "dumbed down" Photoshop is actually a lot more powerful then many know.
Elements 3.0 Classroom teaches more about Review Mode, red-eye reduction, and more. It's self-paced so learning is easy and written by the folks behind the software. Step-by-step, project-based lessons complemented by review questions at the end of each chapter and a CD filled with lesson and media files will have you editing, organizing, sharing, and storing all of your digital images in no time.
Whether you're a photographer, student, graphic designer, publisher, or hobbyist, you'll appreciate the thorough coverage of all things Photoshop Elements, including such new features as edge effects, a new creation wizard that helps turn photos into calendars and greeting cards, and more.
