Nick's opinion:
Have you ever sat there, staring at folder after folder of great photos, wondering what to do with them all? Getting them organised into albums could be a start... Using just a few for cards & calendars is another great idea. This book tells you how. Sort of. It provides a CD of templates plus instructions for use. The instructions are based around use of Photoshop Elements. What you end up with, is a basic introduction to Photoshop -- with a specific task, to make it interesting. I've used PE (Photoshop Elements) and thought, this is great! A bit later I thought, but so what? I want an album of photos to show to friends & family. They want to see photos of what we look like, where we've been... not a small number of artistic works of art. All I want is crop & brighten. But a one-off card or calendar, using PE on just a small number of photos -- that seems worthwhile. And this is the book to get you started. Follow the straightforward instructions. Use the well-designed templates. Have some fun with PE. And end up with cards & calendars which will impress friends & family. As a PE tutorial with a definite purpose -- this is one of the best books that I have seen.
