Book is okay but using the Adobe Elements web page showing "how to" videos is much easier to understand. Also Adobe offers a $79 video workshop which is worth the money if you want to learn. I probably would not buy the book again.

4 out of 5 stars A book worth reading   June 24, 2008

I just recently bought this book and hemmed and hawed around as to whether to get this book or the Missing Manual.

I'm glad I went with this book. It is simple and easy to use and it seems to go into detail on some areas, yet missing something on other areas.

By playing around with the program once I've read how to do something, I find I can go further.

I picked up on some helpful hints immediately when I first started reading this book and am keeping my side notes to refer back to.
