I Don't Recommend This Book January 6, 2007
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
Author Scott Kelby is widely respected in the Photoshop community for his knowledge and expertize. As a book author, though, he's a disaster.
His book provides much useful information about how to use Photoshop Elements 4, but it's hard to dig through the extraneous text to find that useful information.
Just look at the beginning of Chapter 1 that says "Organized Chaos is the perfect name for this chapter because not only is it a song title (by the band Benediction), it's also apparently a marketing directive put forth by a super-secret department at Adobe who, from what I gather, is charged with making simple things more complex."
When you buy a book and study it to learn how to use Photoshop Elements, you probably don't want to plod through the author's comments and opinions such as this.
Look anywhere in the book and you'll find comments and somewhat pathetic jokes. If you've like me, you buy a Photoshop book to learn how to use the application, not to read about the book author's opinions.
If you want a good book about how to use Photoshop Elements 4, I suggest Photoshop Elements 4 Solutions by Mikkel Aaland (published by Sybex).
