Who owns the market: Adobe products are the market leader in the photo editing/production market. Their standard Photoshop tool, Lightroom, and consumer–focused Photoshop Elements tool hold nearly two–thirds of the market. Elements is the only tool of the three sold in the traditional software purchase/license model and not as part of a site subscription. Priced at $99.99 (US), it′s also sold as an upgrade discounts as well as occasionally at nearly 50% off retail price on special promotions.

Who are we targeting: This book primarily focuses on consumer/hobbyist photographers who use Elements to edit personal photos. We assume our reader has minimal experience using a photo editor, especially an editor as complex at Photoshop, and needs guidance on all aspects of the tool.
