Very useful but a significant gap,
“Adobe Photoshop Elements 9″ from the Teach Youself Visually series, author Mike Wooldridge.
In many ways this book is very useful, especially for someone like myself, late 70′s, self-taught, who doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. Mike Wooldridge covers the basis well in a format that doesn’t assume prior learning.
Nevertheless this is Elements 9 and not for the totally naive. My big disappoinment was there was no mention of Photoshop Raw that can now exists in full glory inside this Elements program. Apart from a listing in a screen shot on page 329 there is nothing refering to it. My bias is that I find Photoshp Raw a brilliant addition to Elements, dealing with most core issues before I use the full Elements resource.
So, a very good basic book covering most of the important topics, with, sadly, a core component absent

Very Disorganized Format,
I was actually looking for Scott Kelby’s book on Elements 9. I have several of his books and they are excellent and easy to follow. But his book isn’t going to be released until 12/23. So I bought this one. Huge mistake. The organization is very poor. For example I went to the organize photos, chapter 2. Mid-way through the instructions it told me to go to chapter 3. I did and it referred me back to chapter 2. If you’re looking for a book on Elements 9, save your money and wait until Kelby’s book is released. He explains things in an easy to understand step-by-step fashion.

worthless–and I tried to follow the directions! Disorganized,
I am so sorry that I bought this book. I have been using Adobe Photoshop elements for several years with great success. Now I wanted to advance and learn how to use layers. I bought Adobe Photoshop 9 and the “Teach Yourself Visually” book. The directions in this book jump around from one chapter to another so I wasn’t able to make even one layer–or anything else. Sad!
