Summary: Useful Introduction for beginners
Review: I wish I had got this book immediately after purchasing Photoshop Elements 2. I know I would not have needed to buy a bunch of other books on PE2.

This books makes it easy to get familiar with the basic interface and features of PE2 and gets you up and going, gets you productive very quickly and painlessly. Photo editing is what I do most and this book is the simplest and easiest to follow.

Later on perhaps you might have to get a more advanced book, but I feel that as you practice what you learn in this book, your skills will evolve in accordance to your needs.

Lest you think this book deals only with simple basics, here I found the simplest and clearest explanations about Layers and how and when you should use them. Every page has full color graphics and hence the painless learning.

I recommend this book to anyone who is just starting with PE2. Adobe should ship this book in the box if they want users to have an easier experience with their software.
