View Full Version : Good book about Elements 6.0?

Just upgraded to Elements 6.0 and on the lookout for a good and instructive "how to use it"-book about it. It would be a good thing if the book was organized according to a suggested workflow. I have used MS Digital Image 10 before for simple daily PP, but MS has stopped upgrading this program and I bought a new Scanner (CanoScan 8800F) with Elements 5.0 included. Problem was that it didn't install Adobe Help Center so even if it said it was a full version it wasn't. (I have CS2, Bridge and Acrobat 8.1 installed so I know how it is supposed to work). Anyway, it didn't cost much to upgrade so I did that.
For CS2 I have "Photoshop CS2 one on one" by Deke McClelland which is very good. Anyone who knows about something similar for the Elements 6.0?:)

I have not seen any books for 6.0 yet as it is fairly new. I actually like the Elements for Dummies book I have for 5.0. It doesn't really cover work flow but it does a good job of explaining most things.

I'm presently using this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Photoshop-Elements-6-Missing-Manual/dp/0596514441
567 pages including index, seems to be quite comprehensive.

I have both Scott Kelby's book and missing manual for Elements 5. I find Kelby's to be of more use.

We've got quite a bit of snow up here in Scandinavia today, but nevertheless am I going to the bookstore to see what they can offer and thanks for the link to Elements Village web-pages. I have some time off now and have to learn this asap.
Have a photogenic day all of you!:)
