Praise for previous editions:

...it is one of the best books on Adobe Photoshop (with or without Elements) I've read so far. - www.photocrack.com

...a beautfifully rendered and compellingly written exploration of the advanced features and techniques that can be accomplished with Photoshop Elements. - Mike Leavy, Engineering Manager for Photoshop Elements, Adobe Systems, Inc.

Philip Andrews know Elements better than anyone else I know. He also writes in a friendly, entertaining and non-academic style. He has a great understanding of the needs of the end user and his knowledge and enthusiasm for digital imaging (and photography in general) shine from every sentence. With Philip as your guide you'll be using Elements like a pro and making great images in no time. - Nigerl Atherton, Editor, What Digital Camer and Better Digital Photography

The book has an upbeat, friendly feel and is easy to read...The sections are well though out and well described...Advanced Photoshop Elements for Digital Photographers is a good book and very adequately demonstrates how powerful and effective Adobe Elements can be. - Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine

The large section dealing with colour management is written in perhaps the easiest to understand manner I have encountered in the hundreds of Photoshop books available. - Royal Photographic Society Journal

Even with more than 300 pages of text, images, screenshots and sidebars, the book is well organized, with easy-to-search table of contents and index. Better yet, each chapter ia color-coded and the chapter title listed on the side of each page. - Digital Photographer, Oct/Dec 2006

Another software guide, this time to the latest version of Photoshop Elements. A mix of step-by-step tutorials, tips and examples will give a good basic to common and not-so-common editing tasks. - Romeike, Digital Photographer Magazine, France
