Nice idea but poorly executed [Posted on 2007-09-02]
Several issues:
If you have never used Photoshop before, the guide is almost useless. You will need to do a lot of digging around online to find out how to use the Photoshop Elements plug-in.
Photoshop Elements does not come with this book. A trial of the program does. If you want Elements it will cost you approximately $100 US.
The guide to creating scenes is fair - but it is, at best, a very brief look at techniques that are better described elsewhere.
wish i had this book years ago! [Posted on 2008-02-21]
This book is for the cartoonist that wants to streamline and speed up his development time, or the beginning cartoonist that can make use of the included clip art. It is an awesome book! It's organized nicely and the examples are concise. Other reviewers had a problem with adobe elements not included. Download it. The demo is free. The book clearly states this is a book for people who use Photoshop elements. That program comes with its own tutorials and the examples in this book build on itself. By the way GIMP is free and has the same features. IN SUMMERY: I believe this book will allow an artist to reach new potential.
