Rating: Elements-6 gave me the boost to switch from the Vista fiasco to the Mac. Here, at last, is the mini Photoshop to satisfy the great majority of graphics software users. PSE is not the most intuitive of programs, and the (welcome) inclusion of the Bridge browser makes it even less so. Praise the Lord -- Barbara Brundage has come to the rescue! I've used her PSE books since version 3 for Windows and have had nothing but praise for them. This book for the Mac once again delivers as promised, taking you through the intricacies of Bridge, the numerous 3-finger shortcuts, and working with layers, with both authority and a pleasantly fluid writing style. My one quibble is the publisher's reluctance to include a CD to reinforce the message of the illustrations provided on recycled paper. Rather than tediously downloading the material. I'd gladly pay a few more bucks for having a comprehensive tutorial instead of wasting endless time and effort on low-quality web images. Users unfamiliar with the RAW format in particular would be grateful for a 'non-missing CD'. Otherwise: highly recommended
