For the periodic user of PS6 & PE4, an essential learning tool

Being the sort of person who likes to show a quality slide show I decided to buy this learning tool. I had used both Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements starting with versions 4 and 2 respectively. Since I don't use these products excessively I suffer from cold storage from time to time. A little over a year ago my daughter got married and I was compelled to become proficient(using versions 5 & 3 at the time), quickly with both products and ultimately was able to author a very nice DVD covering her wedding shower, gown selection, a myriad of other little important things regarding the wedding preparation along the way, the rehearsal dinner and of course the main event, as well as, the morning after gift opening breakfast.

Needless to say when the wedding was over I presented them with their special DVD and immeditaely set the products aside. I recently purchased the current bundled versions of PS6 & PE4. I was preparing for a one-week trip to Yosemite National Park with my new Canon VIXIA HV30 HI Def camcorder. Before the trip I decided to get familiar with the new bundled versions of Photoshop 6 and Premiere Elements 4 that I had recently bought. At first blush they looked familiar, but I realized the more I played with them that the user interface had significantly changed - I believe for the better. So I decided to buy this aid, 'Classroom In A Book' for PS6 and PE4. Since the largest changes involved the User Interface for Premiere Elements 4, I started working on those exercises and immediately became familiar with all the facets of this great product again simply by working through the exercises, in the book.

I would highly recommend this learning aid, particularly if you are a casual user who needs to get up to speed quickly. For those who wish to become advanced, frequent users, there are other excellent reference and instructional/informative books, ie., Steve Grisseti and Chuck Engels.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 * & Adobe Premiere Elements

Because Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 & Adobe Premeier Elements 4 do not
come with a manual then I needed to get a book to use the softwear. I
have purchased other Classroom in a book- manuals before and found that
I learned so much using them. The DVD that comes with it is very good also. Well worth the money - & time using it.

Good book but Premier Elements problematic

In the couple of weeks since receiving the book from Amazon, I have systematically gone thru the lessons for Adobe Premiere Elements 4. The book does an excellent job of introducing the learner to the program. What I can't remember how to do, I can go back later to refresh my memory. Problem is, I am running into program crashes now that I've begun to use PE4 with my own video. I've converted my video to AVI (huge files!) and am hoping I can eventually come up with a finished product using the nice features to which I was exposed thru the Classroom in a Book lessons. So, buy the book but don't assume learning to use the program will be the end of it. What a hassle!

Very Good Class Room in A Box

This is an excellent learning tool for those beginning to use Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. There are very few "rough edges" in the presentation that can confuse the starting learner due to editing that was not thorough enough. (Please note, it is my biased opinion that any self-learning product should be held to a much higher level that a text book that is used in class.) In any case, I found it to be very useful and instructive. Highly recommended.

This collection combines Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 Classroom in a Book and Adobe Premiere Elements 6.0 Classroom in a Book into one affordable volume. Each chapter in these step-by-step, project-based guides contains a project that builds on the reader's growing knowledge of the program, while end-of-chapter review questions reinforce each lesson. Readers will learn how to use the programs' many new features, including Photomerge, Smart Albums, step-by-step editing assistance, and amazing photo-blending technology in Photoshop Elements 6. Premiere Elements 4 now includes the same Organizer that's included with Photoshop Elements, making it easy to visually tag video clips and photos to categorize by people, places, or events. Premiere Elements 4 also includes new Movie Themes, a new Sharing Center, world-class Adobe fonts for video titling, the ability to upload videos directly to YouTube, and more.
