Eismann's book and Photoshop Elements

[mapgirl]

I just checked Creative Digital Darkroom by Katrin Eismann & Sean Duggan out from the library on the recommendation of this site (25 best books, etc.). Clearly using it will be a real commitment (in terms of time and brain power), but worth it IF my program will work with it. The book specifies that it was written for Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom users. But I have Photoshop Elements 7. Does anyone know if the differences in terms of photography are significant enough to make this a pointless exercise?

There are some features that you don't have within Elements but I think you can still benefit from the book.

I will recomend you downloading a curves plugin tool as I think elements doesnt have one? and im guesseing curves will be used a lot. Smart Curve is a free plugin that does this job well.

As for the rest im not sure what else elements doesnt have included but im sure there will be work arounds.
