First of all, Photoshop Elements 11 is not an easy program and it takes a lot of time and patience to learn it. I bought the book to create a book cover; however, the book didn't go into enough detail on some of the simpler tasks to complete the cover. After about 2 hours I abandoned the project. Save your money on this one.
