Not at all impressed, By Mommy Reader (CT, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scrapbooking with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 (Paperback)
I received this book as a gift and am now looking for something else to help me with digital scrapbooking. The author is much too wordy, the illustrations are basic, and her layouts are uninspiring and elementary. This book has not helped me at all in using Photoshop Elements for my digital scrapbooking.
