Photoshop Elements 8 For Dummies ReviewWhat's wrong here? Maybe it's me but the author does not appear to know Photoshop software. Or, maybe she knows about some other version of Photoshop and is just not good at describing the processes. I suspect a combination of all these. For my part, I admit to being a 'dummy' but I would have thought that the publisher's editing would have caught most of the obvious errors, omissions, and gramatical issues.
As the reader works through the book, he should be able to duplicate the process in the software that is being described in the text. How fustrating to find that some of the author's descriptions do not work. When I got to page 217, I decided to share some of the book's problems here. That particular section (2 pages) covers replacing one color with another. In Step 4, the author writes "Choose your Sampling method" from the icons. Whats wrong is that there are no icons in Photoshop 8 for this operation and, in general, the process really does not work as described.
OK, so that's one example. Here are just a few more: Page 102 shows an open context menu that does not exist in Photoshop 8. On pages 101 and 103, the author discusses opening the wrong menu. Page 99 discusses selecting several items that do not exist and introduces a screen location name (also on page 21) not previously introduced (what is it - where is it?). Page 73 includes a discussion of a tool that does not exist. The author covers the complex issue of bit-depth on page 41 and some special effect processes on page 57 - yet, she waits until page 74 to begin one of the most basic issues - getting your photos from a camera into the software. I suspect most readers stopped reading this book by page 42.
This book is really not ready to be published. It is arranged poorly, tries to cover both Windows and Macintosh (very different software), is unnecessarily complex in several areas, does not correctly describe several processes, and fails to deliver a clear guide to Photoshop Elements 8.Photoshop Elements 8 For Dummies Overview
