You will start by learning how to import, organize, manage, edit, and use your pictures in a format that's designed for creative photography projects. Going further, you'll discover how to fix a wide range of photographic problems based on the book's extensive repertoire of commonly applied solutions. You'll be escorted through a wide range of common processes that include applying artistic effects to creative projects, custom image makeovers, processing images for social media, and other file export methods.

Towards the end of the book, you will understand what the most important tools and features actually do in Photoshop Elements, answering the often-asked question; What, when, and where would you use these features in a precise and practical way.

  • Understand the latest Photoshop tools to add life to your photos

Like many photography teachers, I’m in the enviable position of being able to combine one of my life’s passions, photography, with my job. And, even though I spend too much time in front of a computer, it remains one of the best jobs in the world. Originally from the UK, I’ve spent the past 35 years living in Sydney.

In Australia I worked in the audio-visual business, as a freelance photographer and as a contributing writer and editor for several photo-centric publications. In 2000 I founded my own publishing business, producing Australia’s best-selling specialist digital photo techniques publication: Better Digital Camera magazine. With this I aggressively pursued the goal of producing clear, well-illustrated publications written in plain English. I continued to develop this plain-speaking style in another specialist magazine, Better Photoshop Techniques.

These days, when I’m not travelling, writing or conducting photo tours and workshops, I teach all things digital photography through the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) at Sydney University.

If you didn’t grow up with photoshop, or use it everyday (or even if you do) this book is an absolute necessity to have at your side to be able to know how to do all the things you know photoshop can do. The book is easy to understand and well referenced.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really comprehensive and interesting book
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019
This is a big and very comprehensive book – with a bold ‘buy-me!’ cover – that, from the start of my reading outlined to me just how little I know about photo editing on a Mac despite stabbing at it for the last 15 years or so.
Originally I thought I’d dip in and out to the bits of photo editing that I have difficulty with but soon decided this book is so explicit and well written that I’d better accept it as a text book. So I started to read it from start to finish to really benefit from all those features I’d glossed over previously and are there to help rather than to hinder you. That means starting with the Organizer!
The writer obviously knows his subject inside out, and has worked his way through the various versions of the application over the years. His range of photographic material to demonstrate features is varied and interesting though I’d have liked some full page photos of final edited pix.
I like the lightbulb symbol - things that are quick tips - and of course the well laid out contents with a complete index at the back: two very important features for the editor fairly familiar with all the options but who perhaps wants to dip in or recap something specific.
One thing other aspect also appealed to me: it’s readability. The paragraphs are separated by a line of space not just a customary indent. Personally I find this kind of layout easy to follow and far more relaxing to read - especially having the book in digital form.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Guide to an Excellent Photo Editing Software
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2019
This is an excellent book about an excellent photo editing software. Robin Nichols has provided a comprehensive guide to how to get the best out of Adobe Photoshop Elements. The software includes many of the editing processes and tools from Photoshop that are most relevant to photographers, and the book gives detailed step by step directions on how to use all the available tools. This includes really helpful tips on workflow management, from setting up Photoshop Elements on your computer to get the best out of the product, through to exporting the final result online or in print. The book is clearly set out and contains on almost every page really useful and easy to follow photographic illustrations of the features. The extensive index makes it simple to locate and link to content about specific tools and editing solutions. The book's easy accessibility makes it perfect for someone with limited photo editing experience but also provides practical information on using the more sophisticated editing techniques and solutions that will appeal to more experienced photo editors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Editing techniques written in easy to understand English.
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2019
As English is not my first language.I often find technology books hard to read. As a keen amateur photographer I found the techniques and explanations easy to follow.I bought the paperback version and use it side by side with my laptop, making it quite easy to practice the features pictured in the book.
My interest was mostly about learning selections which was covered comprehensively. There are some very basic subjects like fixing contrast, brightness and colour which I already understand but after reading about selections I am now finding more advanced (difficult) features which are fun to try out. One of my favorites was to make the canvas size bigger than flip an image to give different panoramic effect. I would recommend this book to my photographer friends. How about this version in Vietnamese?
