Advanced Photoshop Elements 5.0 for Digital Photographers [Posted on 2007-07-07]
This is the companion book to Philip Andrews' "Photoshop Elements 5 - A Visual Introduction to Digital Photography", also from Focal Press. This title is aimed at those who have mastered the basics covered in the first book and wish to get to grips with some of the more advanced digital imaging techniques that are possible with the software. Containing 11 chapters, the book covers various topics including: camera and scanner techniques, working with RAW files, advanced image changes, darkroom techniques on the computer, making better panoramas, extending your web abilities and producing great prints, to name a few. The companion website is again a great addition to the book, where there are further resources, including videos and all the photos used in the book for you to download and practice on. As a digital photographer myself, I have found all of Philip Andrews' books extremely clear and helpful and this one is no exception. Again, he has written one of the best books available on the subject, in his usual clear and engaging style. The informative step-by-step instructions, full colour screen shots, and the attractive presentation throughout, only serve to reinforce the reasons to buy it.

No Download available [Posted on 2007-09-30]
I purchased the book because it states that you could get many of the test documents as a download. The truth is they are not available and if you go to the link provided, the page is empty.

Other than that I found the book had good information but some of the procedures could not be followed because of the lack of access to the files.

Not a back book, but.... [Posted on 2007-10-13]
To be fair, I have not really spent much time with this book. I bought it mostly because I thought it was really going to take me to the next level. I found that my skill levels were already past this book. It is not a back book and it can be good for someone who is fairly new to Elements. But, I don't know if I would really call it Advance. Overall it is not a bad book.

Grab it now ! [Posted on 2008-01-16]
I constantly go back to it for ideas and "how-to" tips. Keep it in the bathroom, and consult it often. Very helpful and easy to understand, generally !
