Not MacCentric - 2008-06-28
Reviewer Rating:
This book is written for the Windows version, but nowhere in the description is this specifically mentioned. For Mac users the first five hours (chapters), which discuss the Organizer (not in the Mac version of PSE6), are useless. Once you get used to converting Windows key strokes to Mac, the remaining hours are helpful but, for Mac users, Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac (The Missing Manuel) by Barbara Brundage is the better deal. If you can afford both books, fine, otherwise get the Missing Manual.
