Well rounded coverage

This book is more than just a Photoshop Elements software manual, it includes chapters on scanner and camera techniques and printing tips. Other chapters cover both basic and advanced tasks. Throughout there are sidebars with step-by-step workflows. The book is filled with color illustrations and screen shots. All versions of Elements are covered here but I'm not sure why this might be needed in an advanced book.
The arrangement of articles makes some things harder to find - for example the section about tinkering with the depth of field is in the chapter on Panoramas. Each section includes an indication of related techniques and difficulty level.
This book has to be compared to Scott Kelby's Elements 4 book. In general the Kelby book is more advanced - it includes a chapter on RAW processing for example where this Andrews book only has 2 pages. The Kelby book is better organized but it is limited to just advanced Elements procedures. If you are an intermediate user this Andrews book is probably the one you want.
