Book Description

This second volume of documents from the extensive medieval archive of the vicars choral of York Minster provides an edition of charters from the earlier 13th century onwards relating to the vicars' property in Yorkshire (the first volume having concentrated on their property in the city of York), together with texts describing the process by which four parish churches (one of them in Hampshire) were appropriated to the vicars in the 14th and 15th centuries.The latter documents are especially detailed, and include grants of advowson, archiepiscopal confirmations consequent on inquiries (with witnesses testifying on the vicars' poverty in 1332 following the disruption caused by Scottish invasions and in 1351 after the Black Death), descriptions of the manner in which the churches were physically handed over, and ordinations of vicarages.Drawing also on the vicars' financial accounts, the introduction to the volume sets the acquisition of both city and Yorkshire property in the context of the vicars' fluctuating economic fortune, which reflected on general changes in urban prosperity and more specifically impinged on the vicars' ability to maintain a common life. The charters relate to the Vicars' property in Yorkshire, and to their holdings of appropriated churches (including the church of Nether Wallop in Hampshire). The editor's introduction examines the reasons for the Vicars' acquisitions, and places them in their economic context.NIGEL TRINGHAM is lecturer in history, University of Keele.

not for beginners.......2000-08-29

This book contains the most scholarly research I've ever read on this process. As such it is not for beginners. I have heard some complaints: that the author provides too much information and clouds the issue. But as the title of the review says its not for beginners. The book provides all the information necessary for the experienced alt\process photographer to fully utilize this medium and exercise complete artist control over the results. The authjor has ammassed an impressive amount of historical data and data from his own investigations making it well worth the read.

I had a GPA of 3.75 in high school and I found this book hard to use. Hint, hint...

Everything you Need To Know in a Single Book.......2006-05-24

This isn't a book just about Photoshop Elements, there are plenty of books like that. This book teaches you how to improve the photos you take with your digital camera as well as how to improve them in Photoshop Elements. Let's face it, about half of the problems that can be corrected in Elements can be prevented when the photo is taken. The book is laid out in a logical progression and with short concise explanations. Because the approach of the book is visual (a picture is worth a thousand words even adjusting for inflation) the concepts are easy to understand. Whether you are new to digital photography or are a professional this book presents information you need to take better pictures and then use Photoshop Elements to enhance (or correct other's mistakes because after reading this book you won't be making those errors again). The other advantage of the book is the way it is organized. Let's face it, no matter how good a technical book is, no one will read it from cover to cover. The organization of the book makes it easy to find the topic you want without reading the entire chapter. If you know someone who just got a digital camera as a graduation gift, this book would make the perfect companion.

Gurus and other Species.......2005-11-30

Since there are a myriad of how to books on Adobe's Photoshop and its less intimitating sibling Elements 3.0, its no easy feat to pick the book that does the job for you, without ending up buying a whole library on just the one subject.
This book by Philip Andrews is a very thorough introduction to the workings and mastery of Photoshop Elements. I, for one wanted a book on the subject written by a photographer, not some techie or selfproclaimed Photoshop guru. That said, this book is aimed at photographers at all levels, but doesn't deal with the fundamentals of photography. So it is not an introduction to digital photograpy, but to editing, tweaking and enhancing your photographs once they are on your hard disk drive.
The appeal of this book is based on its attractive layout and visualizations, printed on a nice stock of paper. I am very happy with this book, but I would not have expected anything less from such a prestigious publisher in the fields of photography and cinematography. So by now, I can rightly proclaim myself a Photoshop guru, even though only in Elements (but I don't have to mention that).

Not much about Layers.......2005-11-27

I bought this book with hope of help with creating layers.....not much help. The book is in a good format and has lots of info....just not what I was looking for.

not for the ignorant!.......2005-08-13

This is a typical book written by experts for other experts. I'm sure many readers will be like me: amateurs who need help in some of the basic techniques for digital imaging. This book does not provide that.

I bought it basically to help with the use of layers to produce multiple images. In spite of reading and re-reading the relevant sections, I still have not managed to do just that. Perhaps it's me, but the fact that I have not succeeded suggests that the book fails in its primary object - to help the reader.

Not enough info on photo browser and related info.......2005-07-07

The author does a good job teaching Elements 3.0 using text and graphics.

In all, this book appears to be a good read for the first time Elements user. I have used Elements 1 and 2.

As a long time photographer, I have >8,000 digicam photos that I need to preserve, catalog, and search. From my casual reading here and there, the PSE3 seemed to fit my needs well. However, the book did not spend much time elaborating how a photographer would maintain his library, including backups, etc.

In short, if you are interested in learning how to touch up photos, this book is good. If you are more interested in maintaining your larger image collection, this book was light on the topic.

Best book out there will sound cliche but it is..........2005-05-23

First, I am surprised nobody wrote a review for this book up to now. I know there are so many books like this but anyone, who is looking for an easy to read book with a large coverage and printed not in the boring black and white but in full color, would not possibly miss this book.

I own Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 and How to Do Everything with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. When I bought Elements 3.0, I wanted to buy a good book to tell me how to do things with this version and I wanted something colored and easy to understand. I hate long and tiring b/w books that "tell" you all those complicated instructions instead of just showing them with a couple of well designed illustrations. I own by the way two digital cameras, Sony DSC-W1 and Canon D-SLR 20, both are the best cameras I ever owned.

When I went to the local Barnes and Noble, I probably reviewed 15 books on Elements 3.0 for hours and this book beat all the others by a landslide. I bought it on the spot without thinking twice.

I like it so much that I started reading the book from cover to cover, something I never did with a book like this. The instructions are clear; there are pictures and diagrams on every single page that make it so easy to understand what is being explained.

If you are looking for a book that will give you almost anything you will need to use Elements 3.0, buy this book and look no further. I am 100 per cent sure you will be satisfied with this purchase.

Not for Intermediate Photoshop Users.......2007-08-21

I have been using Photoshop Elements 2.0 for a few years now. I consider myself fairly adept with the program and have already familarized myself with all the tools. However, every time one of my graphically inclinded friends sits down with the program, they seem to be able to create their desired manipulations faster and better than I can. I was hoping with the help of this book I would get better at using the tools I had already been using - making me a more efficent and affective user.

Unfortunately, this was not the book for me. This book does a good job of explaining what each of the tools do and how to use them. As another reviewer already stated, it's like using the help section but in print form. The book is easy enough to follow (though it may be a little overwhelming if you're brand new to any kind of graphical software). If you're trying to figure out what everything in the program does, this book is definitely a viable option. However, if you're looking for a book to help you improve using the tools you've already been using, this book will be of little use to you.

This book is exactly what it says it is "A visual introduction to digital imaging". Even though the it was not useful to me, I cannot fault it for not being more than the title claims hence the 4/5 stars rating.

Very helpful.......2006-03-16

This book has been very helpful in learning more about Photoshop Elements 2 than just basics. I would reccomend it

adobe photoshop elements 2.0 a visual introduction to digita.......2003-07-06

This book is definitely not an introduction to digital imaging. What it is, a well organized and illustrated book listing the features of Photoshop Elements and what can be accomplished with it. This book is not something you can follow to perform various digital manipulations. In fact I believe that it is no better than using the help section of the program, which comes free with the program! After trying the book I found free material on several web sites that had good detailed steps to follow. this book should offer typical cases with step by step instructions.

Good for Beginners.......2003-06-08

I am only in my teens but my dad got a copy of photoshop elements, a digital camera and and this book. I found it great to start of with and it has helped me gain great marks on all my assignments. I reccomend to all beginners who are starting of with photoshop elements.

Great Book.......2003-05-13

It was the second book I had bought to learn elements. It hit the mark. Perfect. Lots of illustrations, lots of color, and not too much verbosity. A picture IS worth a thousand words. A web site provided has all the pictures available to "play with."
This book has given me a tremendous grasp of Elements in an extremely short time. Philip Andrews has done an incredible job. There may be more for me to learn in Elements but this is without a doubt the best introduction I have found. Before purchasing I thumbed through many books which left me cold. Philip's book truly gets you up and going quickly.

Adobe Photoshop Elements, A visual introduction..........2002-10-27

I got my copy two days ago and it's by far the best I have seen on this topic. While using it at the computer I have learned a lot and I regret that I wasted my time and money on other books. The next time around they should get Andrews to write the book to accompany the software. He knows how to organize and present information in a clear, succinct and useful way.

A Book for Un-Ambitious Users of Elements.......2002-09-22

This book covers about 10% of Elements' potential. You will outgorw this book within days of using Elements.

For example, I've learned from reading other books (see bottom of this text) how powerful layers are, whereas this book barely covers thier application.

I'd strongly recommend the following 2 excellent books "Photoshop Elements Solutions" by Mikkel Aaland (who occasionally appears on Tech TV), and "50 Fast Digitial Photo Techniques" by Gregory Georges.

I have all 3 books, and I find Aaland and Geroges' books a world apart from Andrews' disappointing, beginner-level book (nothing personal). I've also heard very good things about the "WOW" series but I haven't read them personally. Have fun!

Adobe Photoshop Elements.......2002-08-31

This is a great book for introducing Photoshop Elements to the new user. Each section is simple to read, and is followed up by a feature summary, which I find particularly helpful. I just wish that all photo software book would better describe the relationship between pixels, resolution and photo size for the new user. This is a particularly tough concept to grasp. This author does explain that there is a difference in resolution among software, printers and scanners, which I never knew.

A great feature of this book is that the author has a website from which you can learn even more and see even more about what he writes.

This book is the best I've found for Elements. I hope he does a new edition for PE2.

great book for those who never used photoshop before.......2002-07-17

if you can't figure out how to use photoshop elements, this book will teach you alot. it did for me.

Saved from trashing Photoshop Elements.......2002-07-11

Until reading Philip Andrews book, I was ready to give up using my Photoshop Elements imaging software, and go to a more user friendly (perhaps less comprehensive and useful) imaging software program.
But, as a last try to "master" Photoshop Elements, I purchased Mr. Andrew's book. The difference in this book and the manual that is provided with Photoshop elements needs to be experienced to be really appreciated. Phillp Andrews teaches in such a clear, step by step manner that even the more complex aspects of Photoshop Elements are made understandable and fun/rewarding to use. An added and unexpected bonus is Mr. Andrew's sincere interest in working with his customers. I sent him an e-mail with a question regarding layers. He immediately responded with advice that provided an easy solution to my question. This book is "a must" for those who want to use their time to get the most from Element's powerful imaging tools while minimizing the compelxities of the learning processes.
