Organize Your Photos with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 (2nd Edition)
Amazon Price: $24.99 (as of 11/11/2009)
Most of the available books give you loads of information on Editor and outline lots of tricks and techniques to enhance your pictures and do creative stuff. This book is different, as Michael Slater [who works for Adobe] focuses very strongly on Organizer.
The book covers Organizer's functionality in detail across eight chapters, leaving no stone unturned. Some of the details are "tricks and tips" that aren't documented elsewhere. It is essential reading to get the most out of this sophisticated tool. If you have used Photoshop Album before, there is excellent information on the new capabilities like stacks and version sets.
The Editor component is not ignored. There is a chapter on basic image editing, using its Quick Fix interface and a further one that details the standard GUI. Certainly enough to get you started doing image manipulation. As a bonus, throughout the book there are lots of extra topics covered, which are very informative to the newcomer to digital imaging.
Michael's enthusiasm for the software, as well as his in-depth knowledge, shines through in this book, making it an easy read. As a very experienced Photoshop Album [now Photoshop Elements 3] user, I got this book as a reference so that I could check on details. While reading through it, I was constantly coming back to the computer to try some new feature or option that I had previously missed. I also had lots of ideas for new things that I could use the program for.
The bottom line: If you have [or plan to get] Photoshop Elements 3 and use Organizer to get all your pictures in order, this book is a must-have. Read it first - it won't take you too long and it's very nicely presented. Then, when you start out with your organizing, you'll be able to make full use the facilities available and not have to backtrack and rethink your plans.

I like both digital and traditional scrapbooking. I started as a traditional scrapper over 10 years ago. I love the hands on creativity. I have started doing some digital scrapbooking the last couple of years. I love it too. I enjoy working on my computer and with digital images. they both have their pros and cons. I will continue to do both!
