Your New Digital Camera
Got a digital camera? Then you probably need this book. As you have learned so far, digital cameras are more than just cameras with no film. There are a lot of new features, concepts and functions, not to mention all the new icons. This book simplifies it all. In the long tradition of my books, it is written in a no non-sense format that gets right to the point. It's just 68 pages of the stuff you need to know to understand and operate your digital camera. No jokes, antics and no display of my pretty pictures. This book is designed to teach you how to use your camera and a few basics of photography along the way. Whether you're a first-time user, an experienced picture-taker or a seasoned professional photographer, we're all starting over with digital photography. Here's the helping hand. This book is the official course book for all my classes I teach through Southern Oregon University including "How to Use Your Digital Camera", "Photography Basics" and "Digital Photography". 3rd Edition - Release Date: February 1st, 2010.

Adobe Photoshop Elements: Start Here First! New Version!
This book is designed to help you learn how to use Photoshop Elements versions 8-10 for either Windows or Macintosh. Its simple and unconventional style is what has made this book the preferred book of all of David's students and clients. Each topic is simplified to just one page. There's no fluff, hype or 'funny' antics. It's just about learning the things you need to know. If you've tried the other books, this book will be a nice treat. One of the most common comments about this book is something like this, "I tried reading the other popular books, but I always come back to yours." One of the reasons for this is that I interviewed and questioned about 50 of my students as to what they liked and disliked about the "other" books. I took this information and created what these people did want, not what I wanted. This book is the official course book for all of my Photoshop Elements classes. Note: Due to its complexity, the Photo Browser and Organizer in the Windows version are not covered in this book. Release Date: Octeber 22nd, 2011.
