Advantages: Superb nugget sized tips, fits the camera bag nicely Disadvantages: None
There are lots of big shiny books out there that tell you all about digital photography and while many of these are great books, they can be a little intimidating too.
ScottKelby, author of many of the better photography boooks out there has now come up with the antidote. The Digital Photography Book is a mere 200 odd pages and is just slightly bigger than A5 in size yet contains a whole lot of useful information that will almost certainly improve anyone's photography.
I was initially wondering quite what ScottKelby had been smoking as the first few pages were somewhat surreal. Even the author noted they included lame (his word, not mine) humour.

~~~~ Overview ~~~~
Adobe PhotoshopElements5 is a software package used to manipulate and enhance digital images, whether they are from your digital camera, scanned images or pictures from the internet. I mainly use the software to improve the pictures I take with my digital camera; altering the contrast, brightness, colour saturation etc, and also cropping and enlarging images.

~ Organiser: Allows your photos and images to be organised using several different methods.

Advantages: Great selection tools, pan & zoom in slide shows, price, printed manual Disadvantages: file browser gone
Adobe PhotoshopElements 4 aims to be everything the photographer wants for tweaking and fixing their images. Whilst the professionals prefer its more expensive big brother Photoshop CS, PhotoshopElements isn't to be sniffed at and offers 80% of the power for 10% of the price whilst making many tasks much easier.
The biggest surprise coming from version 3 is that the file browser has gone. Adobe, what are you thinking? Well, it's clear what they're thinking, they want you to use the Photoshop Album interface which merged in to PhotoshopElements with version 3. It's actually a very powerful interface and lets you import and catalogue your images with ease and flexibility but sometimes, you just want to get down and dirty with the file system and the loss of a file browser hurts. As a sort of apology, Adobe have added the ability to ...
