Photoshop Elements Basics & Beyond Book by Patty Debowski

Spend the extra money and buy this book first! It's worth it. I actually came across this website last year and dismissed the book because it was too expensive. I bought another book instead. It wasn't as helpful as I would have liked. Then my 11-year-old daughter started digi-scrapping. I gave her my book, and it really frustrated her. Finally I decided to try this one. It came yesterday and both of us have already picked up useful tips. We find the language clear and easy to understand.
