Summary

"Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 is a great product for editing, organizing, and sharing your digital photographs, but who has the time to sit down and figure out all its ins and outs - or to study some long-winded reference manual?

Organized into a series of short, clearly written, well-illustrated lessons, Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 in a Snap lets you zero in on that one particular task you need to accomplish right now - and then lets you get back to work."--BOOK JACKET.
