Summary: PE 6/Mac
Comment: This is an excellent book for anyone interested in digital photography. All missing manual series books are excellent.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Good, effective summary of processes
Comment: Scanning this book gave me the right impression that it contains a lot of detailed information. Reading specific paragraphs confirmed my suspicion that the book does a good job of explaining specific processes. I do not have experience with other products so I cannot offer a comparative opinion. I found the information I needed when I needed it. That makes me think it is a good book

Summary: PE 6 for the Mac, the missing manual.
Comment: Although Photoshop Elements 6 comes with a fairly good manual of its own, this book is a must for those of us who wish to use the application in the most efficient manner. Ms Brundage shows how to manipulate and improve your digital images with the full power of PE 6's many, many features. The book gives hints and tips that are not found in the application's own, rather abbreviated manual and it's much easier to follow. You can't go wrong getting a copy for a reference. If you order the PE 6 application, you should add this book to go along with it.

Summary: Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac
Comment: Insofar as I have used it, I find it helpful but think the index is a little weak. It is a very good reference tool for the learner of the program, which is what I am. A more sophisticated users of Photoshop Elements may find it a bit lacking, as friend of mine did who looked at it and determined some steps in the lessons on layers were not included. I found the lessons about moving through the layers a bit difficult. (Maybe that's just me!).

Summary: Classic Brundage ...THE reference manual for PSE6-Mac; if only it had missing CD!
Comment: I've used the'Missing Manuals' series for Windows Elements since version 3. The Mac version is as thorough and instructive as they come, with numerous fine-tuning tips for more advanced users. Although bulky, the contents are all meat without fat ot bone; Brundage's writing style is pleasantly conversational and witty, without resort to the heavy-handed contrived 'humor' adopted by others in the field.
Unfortunately - a shortcoming made all the worse by printing color on pulpy paper - this book cries out for a companion work-along CD so that the user can duplicate the exercises. The hoary 'reason' to download images rather than spend a few more bucks turns out to be an empty promise as the web image library is incomplete, outdated, and borderline quality. Locating the website alone, plus time wasted and effort expended, would be worth the small extra cost of including a CD.
Even so, the reader will be well rewarded by the outstanding informative quality of the contents. This truly will the definitive reference text to Elements users from rookie to rocket.
