    Very best resource I could find
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2014*

I purchased this after trying the "Teach Yourself VISUALLY Photoshop Elements 12" book, which I'm sure works well for some folks. After all, I consider myself a "visual" learner. But I found that The Missing Manual has plenty of visuals, and MUCH more information. That information is well-organized (No pun intended, given Elements' Organizer module), and I think the book has something to offer for photographers of all skill levels.A good example is the variety of descriptions and explanations of the Levels adjustment tools. You can get the quick and dirty explanation of HOW to adjust shadows, midtones and highlights, as well as brightness and contrast. But you can also get much more detail about WHAT shadows, midtones, and highlights actually ARE. I've been taking pictures for decades, but never really understood the relative value of each of these adjustment tools, or exactly how each of them worked. The "just tell me how to get it done" explanation comes early on in the Quick Fix area; the book's Retouching section has a much more detailed explanation, for those who need/want it.Even more valuable is the explanation of layers, and how they work. As the book says, this really is the heart of the photo editing program; but you're not going to get very far without truly understanding what layers are and how to use them, and this is the first resource that's given me that understanding and ability.Those are just two examples of how powerful a tool this manual is. After all, knowledge is power, right? The final thing I will say is that Brundage doesn't take herself too seriously, which is a good thing when you're learning about something as detailed and robust as Elements. A little humor goes a long way when you're getting into the meat and potatoes of what elements has to offer.

    To Get the Most Out Of Elements 12, You Need This Manual
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 21, 2014*

For almost four decades I was a high school yearbook adviser. For the past decade-plus I've had to adjust to digital photography. Early on, I easily adapted to Photoshop Elements 2.0. Even when newer versions were released, I stuck with the original program. Fast forward to 2014 and I have a new home computer that won't let me install 2.0; so I bit the bullet and purchased Elements 12.Other than a quick set-up booklet, there was no manual included with the software. That's where "Photoshop Elements:  The Missing Manual" comes in. I still believe in the printed page, and I find it simpler to work with a physical copy of a book. Sure, Adobe provides a downloadable pdf file that's 307 pages, but it's difficult to navigate back and forth between the online manual and your open Photoshop program. (I could print this and put it in a binder, but that didn't seem very cost effective.)That's why I sprung for "The Missing Manual." It's just over 600 pages, divided into six parts and 19 chapters and it includes a 16-page index. [In addition, in place of a CD, all Web addresses, practice files, and downloadable software mentioned in the book are available at missingmanuals.com.]For anyone looking to get the most out of Photoshop Elements 12, this is for you.  VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Not a 1,2,3 manual.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2014*

Never having used Photoshop Elements in any version, I ordered this book. It seemed to have been written in a language we can all understand; no robot stuff. However, the problem (not to mention the cost) is that it covers Windows and OSX operating systems on the same pages, often switching from one to to the other. You start reading, not knowing that you are reading Windows (or Mac), then realize that the instruction does not even apply to your OS. To me, It's okay to have instructions on each OS in the same book, but not the same section or page. I do not like fragmented instruction. I will give you an example: I wanted information on how to add a layer from Organizer to an existing background. The index referred me to a certain page. After reading and separating the Windows instructions from the Mac stuff, it abruptly ended by not telling me anything conclusive. I had to refer to another section of the book to continue, and still  my question was not answered. It was like searching for an individual bean in a jar full of beans. NEVER write a book with co-existing instructions, then fragment them onto several different sections.In short, if you are looking for a 1,2,3 instruction manual, like I was, this isn't it. I got information presented in a more concise format from the web. I understand that combining information on two different operating systems in the same book probably saves money, but certainly complicates the data.
