Richard McWhorter, author, USA

"A great book to learn with...Stuffed with expert performance tips" Tim Daly, photographer, UK

A Great Book and DVD Combination!
"I have learned more from watching (and rewatching) the videos than I did at a $400 two-day Photoshop Workshop" V. Hutson, USA

" I was impressed by the variety of techniques discussed that I thought could only be done in Photoshop. This book is well written with carefully planned-out tutorials that explain each step with illustrations to go along. The book also comes with a DVD. If you doubt that Elements might be a cheaper but just as effective alternative to Photoshop, you need to see Mark Galen's book..." - Apogee Photo Magazine, November 2006

"In less than a week of 'playing' (learning), I was getting great real-world results with my images, and was having a blast going back to my original files and seeing just how much more quality I could coax out of them...which was considerable...

...I thought the book and DVD were terrific, and were a bargain at the price I paid." - Amazon.com reviewer, March 06

Galer's writing is not only easy to understand but a pleasure to read, as he explains how and why to utilize a feature, always keeping the art of photography clearly at the forefront.-Digital Photographer, Feb-Apr 2007
