Instead, it does something that virtually no other Elements book has ever done-it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why"--

Though Lightroom is often the starting place for photographers editing their images, Photoshop is often where the image is finished. And with Adobe's Photography bundle - offering Lightroom and Photoshop together for $9.99 per month - the two applications go hand in hand for photographers looking to create the best images possible. However, as anyone who has ever launched Photoshop will tell you, while the popular software is practically limitless in its power and depth, it is also incredibly challenging. It can be difficult to know what tools a photographer should use, and for what tasks. That's why this book was created: to get a photographer using Photoshop right to the technique, the shortcut, or exactly the right setting they need to know, right now.
