This book breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers that’s never been done before—it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly “how to do it.” It’s not a bunch of theory; it doesn’t challenge you to come up with your own settings or figure things out on your own. Instead, it does something that virtually no other Elements book has ever done—it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why. If you’re looking for one of those “tell-me-everything-about-the-Unsharp-Mask-filter” books, this isn’t it. You can grab any other Elements book on the shelf, because they all do that. Instead, this book gives you the inside tips and tricks of the trade for organizing, correcting, editing, sharpening, retouching, and printing your photos like a pro. You’ll be absolutely amazed at how easy and effective these techniques are—once you know the secrets.
LEARN HOW THE PROS DO IT
Each year we train thousands of digital photographers and, almost without exception, they have the same questions and face the same problems—that’s exactly what we cover in this book.
You’ll learn:
- The real secrets of how the pros retouch portraits
- How to color correct any photo without breaking a sweat (you’ll be amazed at how the pros do it!)
- How to use Camera Raw for processing not only RAW photos, but JPEGs and TIFFs, too! (And you’ll learn why so many pros like it best—because it’s faster and easier)
- The sharpening techniques the pros really use (there’s an entire chapter just on this!)
- How to deal with common digital camera image problems, including removing noise and avoiding halos
- The most requested photographic special effects, and much more!
THE BOOK’S SECRET WEAPON
Although Elements 10 offers some digital photography features that Photoshop CS5 doesn’t offer, there are plenty of features that Photoshop CS5 has that Elements 10 still doesn’t have (things like paths, Channel Mixer, etc.). But in this book, you’ll learn some slick workarounds, cheats, and some fairly ingenious ways to replicate many of those Photoshop features from right within Elements. Plus, since this book is designed for photographers, it doesn’t waste your time talking about how to frame a shot, set your exposure, etc., and there’s no talk about which camera or printer to buy. It’s all Elements, step by step, cover to cover, in the only book of its kind, and you’re gonna love it!

Free The Photoshop Elements 10 Book for Digital Photographers
I've used Elements since the first version, and have purchased "how-to" books for versions 2, 4, 8, and now, 10. My previous favorite was the Maximum Performance book by Mark Galer for ver 8, which really explained things like Camera Raw and introduced me to Layer Masks. This book takes these areas to new levels of understanding for me, and adds much more. I had been interested in the concept of High Dynamic Range for a few years, and tried several methods to add the HDR effect to my photos. I took 3 shots with my camera, and tried layering them together. I tried HDR software to automate the process. I got interesting results, never quite as good as the examples I was trying to match. Then I read the Camera Raw chapter in this book, and found out a cool way to create the HDR effect just by creating layer masks with two different versions of the same photo. The result was the best HDR photo I'd ever processed, and it didn't involve taking 3 or 5 shots with varying EV settings. With tips like this, my photos are looking better than ever, and taking way less time. I love the tone of the book, the chapters are written in a casual style and you can almost imagine Kelby or Kloskowski sitting there, showing you how to do it. The format is also very easy on the eyes: unlike some books that use text that spans each page with photos either above or below the text, this book uses a column style, with text on one side of the page and the corresponding photo right next to it. This is much easier to follow, and the step-by-step explanations of each effect flow quite easily.
4 Stars for the beginner and intermediate. However, 3 stars for the advancing Photoshop Elements user. I just received this book yesterday and quickly browsed through each page. First, the positive. If you are new to Photoshop Elements this is a very good book with one exception that I will soon explain. I bought this (almost same book) for Photoshop Elements 8 when I was completely new to the program and it helped out significantly. After quickly browsing this book, in my opinion, this is basically the same book as the one I bought for Photoshop Elements 8 - only with less of the advanced procedures. In their book for Photoshop Elements 8 the authors showed how to add a watermark, display multiple photos on a black frame background and showed the procedures for the reverse color effect. I did not see any of this in the new book! However, what is disappointing to me is that the chapter on special effects does not offer much more than what is offered in their book for Photoshop Elements 8. This is what truly disappoints me about this book. Yes, I did read the book information on Amazon before I bought it and I took a chance (with my own understanding that a lot of the information would probably be quite similar). However, I was really hoping that there would be new material on special effects! The book did not deliver for me in this area. So that is why I am disappointed. However, to end on a positive note. I own three other books (total) authored by Scott Kelby and found them to be very informative. If you are new to Photoshop Elements this book is very good to show you how to do a lot things to improve your photos' appearance before posting them on the Internet. However, if you want "a lot of advanced special techniques" this is not the book for you.
