As the subtitle says, this is an introduction to Adobes' `junior' image editing application. br / br /The book itself is well laid out, with sections ranging from introductions to digital photography and Elements itself to printing, file management and some simple projects. br / br /It's a good book for dipping into - the sections are easy to navigate with a clear contents page and index to help you find your way around. br / br /The graphics used throughout the book are clear and well laid out and illustrate the tools and techniques being described in the text. Screenshots are good and a reasonable size so you can see all the components of a tool or menu. br / br /At the moment, it only covers the Windows version - there's no indication of what will happen when the Macintosh version is released later this month. br /- All the keyboard shortcuts are for Windows, and the `Organizer' workspace is fairly extensively covered - the Mac version will use `Bridge' as featured in CS3, so a relatively major rewrite would be required. br / br /However, for users of the previous Windows based Elements version, mention is made where appropriate to equivalent commands in v.5 along with indicators where a particular tool or technique is new to v.6. It should be just possible to apply some of the techniques to older versions of Elements, but I wouldn't recommend buying this book unless you already own or are intending to upgrade to Elements 6. br / br /A CD is supplied with the book which has a number of video tutorials covering the new and updated features in v.6 and some of the projects featured in later sections in the book, along with resources for practicing the more complex work-throughs - within the text, an indicator is used to show that content is available on the CD. br / br /The author also has a web site including video podcasts, tutorials, and loads of additional resources, some for previous Elements versions. br / br /I found this to be a very informative book with plenty of material for the new Elements user and a good all round introduction to digital imaging. br /
