Good Book on PSE3

[Netnut]

I know I have seen this question before but I don't seem to be able to get the gray matter to work this morning. I am makeing my list for Santa and I think he will bring me at least one good book. Would yal please make some suggestions for Santa to see. I am fairly new at this so please make them fairly simple ones.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Welcome to the forum Netnut! :)

I'm fairly new to all this as well. On the advice of the forum members I purchased "The Photoshop Elements3 book for Digital Photographers" by Scott Kelby and "The Missing Manual" Photoshop Elements 3 by Barbara Brundage.

I would rate them a "must have" - I'm finding them very informative and easy to understand, perfect for my level at this time.

You didn't mention which version of Elements you have but I believe they are available for other versions as well. Other members I'm sure will join in here with advice.

Garry,

I'll throw my vote for The Photoshop Elements 3 Book for Digital Photographers by Scot kelby. I bought this book about a year ago and have found it very helpful. At times he is a bit goofy and I think he is paid by the word BUT it makes the book fun and easy to follow.

Just my $.02 worth.

I'll go with the Missing Manual, it's complete and very well writen. Full of examples.

I do not recommend "Photoshop Elements 3 for Windows one-on-one" by Deke McClelland. Out of four or five books I have, this is at the bottom of my list. Jan Kabili has written a fairly decent book but from what I hear, the "Missing Manual" is better.

Another vote for "The Missing Manual" here - it's at the very top of the list.

Also, "Photoshop Elements 3 Solutions" by Mikkel Aaland is one worth adding to your library.

"the digital photographer's guide to Photoshop Elements" by Barry Beckham. Very well done and wholly inspiring.

Brundage and Kelby as mentioned are excellent.

Hi there-
The Barabara Brundage and Scott Kelby books are right up there with me too-and for some extra fun, can I recommend "Down and Dirty Tricks for PSE3" as well-also by Scott-lots of great techniques, lots of laughs...:)
