I purchased Photoshop Elements 8 one-on-one. However, I'm confused. On page Xiii it states that this book is based exclusivey on the Windows version. I have a Mac and have the Mac version. Will the download exercises work with the Mac?? Will the book even be applicable? Or..........should I jut return it and find another way to learn Elements 8.

Hi,

I'm sorry for the confusion, but I think I can help. Yes, this book is based on the Windows version, and while some of the lessons will work with either Mac or PC, it's probably not the best book for a Mac user.

Instead, I'd recommend Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac: The Missing Manual. This book uses Elements 8 for Mac, so I think it will be a lot easier to follow.

Here's what you can expect to learn from this book:

Quote

Ideal for scrapbookers, serious and casual photographers, and budding graphic artists alike, Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac is more powerful and easier to use than previous versions. But figuring out how and when to use the program's tools is still tricky. With this book, you'll learn not only what each tool does, but also when it makes the most sense to use it and why. You get easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for everything from importing photos to organizing, editing, sharing, and storing your images. You'll also find a tour of Bridge, the ultra-deluxe file browser that comes with Photoshop CS4 --and Elements 8.
