In need of a "how to" book for elements 5 - 09-05-2007, 04:02 PM

I can't figure this software out! I end up with worse pictures than when I started! I need a good easy to follow book or dvd. Do any of y'all have a favorite you would recomend? Thanks in advance!

The Photoshop Elements 5 Book by Scott Kelby and the Photoshop Elements 5 Missing Manual by Barbara Brundage.
Both of these are available at Amazon.

I have Kelby's book and it's pretty good. My boss uses it more than me and seems to be coming along nicely.

These are the two books I have and I really like them both but if I could only get one, it would be the missing manual. Arlon

Same here...I have the exact same books and these are two of the prime (and probably the only two you'll need) books for pse5. Kelby's book shows you step by step and Barbara's is more in depth- good for explaining the why's and what fors' but in an easy and friendly layman's type manner. I couldn't do without them

OH...and you can get these both at Barnes Noble. Got the one of Kelby for 30% off.
