Using Adobe's Photoshop Elements? Check out Photoshop Elements 2.0: 50 Ways to Create Cool Pictures, by Dave Huss, New Riders Publishing, 201 West 103rd St, Indianapolis, IN 46290 2003, $29.99, ISBN # 0-7357-1323-5. Don't let the subtitle put you off: it's not a collection of cutesy tricks for impressing friends and alienating photobuyers. Starting from ground zero, Huss introduces you to Elements' workspace and tools, shows you quick and easy ways to improve your photos, then moves on to techniques that while not as automatic, give you more control over the final result. The back cover implies the book is just for digital shooters. Not so: it's equally useful if you scan film into your computer. -David Arnold http://www.photosourcefolio.com/bookstoreone.htm# 0735713235 .
