Summary: If you are new to Photoshop Elements 2, this is it.
Review: I purchased this directly from Total Training many months ago (paid much more for it) along with the companion disc set Digital Photography for Photoshop Elements 2.If you watch the video instruction and do the lessons alongside, this is the most painless way to learn. I am not the brighest guy around, and at 64, not too keen on reading lessons from a book as I practice them at my computer. I did try that and its a slow and frustrating process. One tends to give up after a while. And some books are not helpful in clarifying where the specific menu/commands reside. Photoshop Elements 2 does have a steep learning curve; even the basic features are not easily learned, unless you see the demonstration in a video. I learnt a lot faster with this method and enjoyed the lessons. Learned the features and how to get around in PE2, about masks, layers, etc. Red-eye removal is a snap, blue eyes, green eyes, no problem. After that I was able to absorb lessons and pointers from other books more easily. Deke familiarizes you with the PE2 environment first of all and that was the start of many enjoyable hours learning the power and features which PE2 offers. Buy this one first. It paves the way to understanding some of the more advanced tutorial books for PE2.
