This video is amazing! I am a visual person and "looking over Mr. Graham's shoulder" is just what I needed. He makes it easy to do because I can see him do it. He has given me the incentive to try something new, like making a calendar or greeting cards. The examples are clear and take me from start to finish. What a neat way of presenting things. I especially liked the way you could move that ball around and make it perfect. Even in black and white! Thanks for all the help!!

I would have given this DVD a much higher rank had it not left you still in the dark regarding the most important element of 7. Layers failed (In my mind ) to be addressed enough. I am interested in fine tuning my photographs utilizing the most powerful feature of 7,not adding text to something I will more the likely never use.

All said and done however, the DVD did offer some insight into the workings of Elements 7.

I am learning Digital Photography and chose Photoshop Elements 8 as my starting point to learn about digital dark room techniques. I had read a couple of good books by Scott Kelby and Matt. However, I am a kind of a visual person and would prefer learning difficult concepts like layers and filters by watching instructional videos. I purchased this DVD with the hope of doing this. However, I succeeded in < 10% of my aspiration to this end! The DVD is very very basic and barely scratches the surface of Photo shop elements 8. Also the techniques used are quite elementary. The selections made during the teaching are gross and lack finesse and I was looking towards some work which would make me say WOW and follow the authors' techniques. However, I find that the techniques displayed are very childish. Retouching and restoring is the worst chapter and has absolutely no technical details of different techniques available in Elements for restoring old photos. Scott Kelby's books are wonderful as they detail the techniques and especially point out what the PROS use. However, for people who prefer visual instructions instead of printed books, this DVD was one where I had placed high hopes...but I am utterly disappointed. I would not recommend this to anyone who is serious of learning Elements 8...please look for a good book by Scott Kelby and you will find yourself learning much more. This DVD is waste of time and money.

I loved this tutorial! I never have enough time to really sit down and learn something, plus I am a visual person and this was exactly what I needed! You got me up to speed in virtually no time at all! Thank you so much! I would definitely advise someone to use this if they are new to PhotoShop Elements!

I really loved this DVD. I didn't know much about Photoshop Elements but after watching the lessons, I am able to do all kinds of stuff. I erased scratches off of some cherished photos, removed red eye, added some neat effects, and improved the coloring of my photos.

It was nice learning how layers work and how to create header graphics that I plan to use on a blog. This DVD is an EXCELLENT resource and I highly recommend it. It is the best stuff I have seen for Photoshop Elements.

I knew next to nothing about this software and now I am able to do lots of different things with it. Thanks so much!

I am particularly disappointed with the video quality. The menu system on the right of screen is out of focus & barely readable.

I was over charged on the stated freight price & a non accurate exchange rate was used for calculating the price

The content did reach the pass mark

I was very disappointed in this dvd, I thought I would be well on my way to restoring some old photos , I found very minimal lessons on the topic, I would have felt better paying more for a complete instruction dvd rather than a few lessons. I did however found the few lessons helpful to a point.

Photoshop Elements 8 is the top program of its kind.
Now there is a dvd with instruction on actually getting the most out
of this great program. Books are fine for learning if that is all you have, but
having a really good dvd like this one makes a huge difference to me. It is so
great to watch this on my computer and work at doing the things I am witnessing.
I'm right there in class looking over the shoulder at my instructor's screen. Wow,
it couldn't be clearer. I watch and learn step by step. Learn Photoshop Elements 8 covers many more topics than I need, but even those I'm not using are interesting, and who knows, maybe someday... Being a photographer, I use to be into films, all kinds. Now with those older prints and slides transferred to computer, it is amazing what can be done. Use to buy infrared film for special effects. Now any picture in my collection can be duplicated as infrared with touch of button. Really glad to learn about that and so many other techniques that bring old faded colors and memories back to life. I recommend this learning dvd. Love it.
