Photoshop Elements 4 "Classroom In A Book" by Adobe is an excellent overview of many of the capabilities of their amazing product and is the logical choice for "newbies" to Photoshop that require knowledge beyond the Users Guide and System Help included with the software. The training includes a CD of photographs and hands-on lessons where you complete editing projects that are both enjoyable and informative. You can even make a photo slide show of the "before and after" effects of the enhancements you make from the lessons to show off your work. Especially important is the fact that the instruction is presented on a step-by-step, "fool-proof" level, making it beneficial to all that invest in this book. Take note that it is limited to providing "a flavor" of Elements 4 capabilities, which definitely starts the wheels tuning in your head. However it lacks many higher level practical applications and tricks of the trade that advanced photographers and digital image editors would benefit from. It also lacks an objective perspective regarding the effectiveness of the various PE4 tools due to the fact that the book is produced by the software manufacturer. After completing and fully absorbing this Adobe training, for those wanting to excel to the next level, I highly recommend Scott Kelby's book "Photoshop Elements 4 for Digital Photographers" and Deke McClelland's book "Photoshop Elements 4 One-on-One".

Though sometimes I find myself lost because the directions, I feel are not very good. I am new to Photoshop and I do not know where all the buttons are, so when the books says, click on the eraser button for example I find myself spending sometime searching for the button because there is no picture of the button. Other than that it has a lot of great ideas and 98% of the time I can recreate what they are doing. Book is very helpful with colored images. I would recommend this book.

Some things that you can do with this software:

Pamaramic - Take several photos and link them together to create a long photo.

Red Eye - Remove Red eye with the easy tool.

Enhance - You can enhance your photos in many ways.

You can add things to your photographs.

You can remove people from the photograph (or add people to it)

You can remove backgrounds or distracting images.

You can clean up someone's face if they have a scratch or blemishes.

You can make your photo look like it is on a canvas.

Slideshow - Create fun slideshows to show your family.

Trust me, there is a lot more you can do! I would recommend this to anyone. There is just so much you can do to make your photos look really good!

I absolutely loved this book. I have tried many of the self-teach books out there for other products and I have not found one that is as well written and easy to follow as this one. Before I purchased Photo Shop Elements 4.0, I knew nothing....zip.....nada about the program and how it worked. I was so impressed with what you can do with this software and the instructional training manual was excellent. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is new to this product or for anyone who wants to take their photo editing to the next level. It's pretty amazing.

Excellent general overview of PSE 4.0. Orderly, step by step introduction to the features of Elements. It is a great place to start and allows the beginning Elements user to scratch the surface of a powerful program. It will whet the appetite to learn more and to play with the program in order to become more proficient with its many, many features.

I have read more than fifty of the the deepest computer reference books for my work as a programmer since 1968 and I used IBM's Principles of Operation every day for 36 years. Chuck Engels has written the best reference book on any computer subject that I have ever read. The writing in this book is as clear, thorough and accurate as anything published by the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. The page layouts are masterpieces of smart artistic sense and would make the great Edward Tufte, who wrote the landmark "The Presentation Of Quantitative Information" happy to read. The structure of the chapters is as solid as the steel beams in a Manhattan skyscraper. The structures within the chapters are the real pleasures of this book. The Appendix to Shortcuts is valuable. The extensive Index reflects hours and hours and hours of thought. The physical presentations on each page show lots of graphic wisdom. I have never before read a book that is such an effective combining of a reference book with a how-to book. Chuck Engles, and the SAMS publishing company have produced a book that is worth much far more than its price. They have produced a book that demands that I haul out my highest praises for what this book is. This book is unquestionably a powerful magnificence of a book that is a joy to use and own. It is much better than Adobe's own manual. Only with these 2 programs can you make your own completely custom DVD Menus. But this Classroom oin a Book doesn't cover that very well.

If your a beginner with Adobe Photoshop elements, this book surpasses any thing that the manual tells you. There are lessons included on a CD DISC included which has you give you hands on work to use as you learn. A great asset for anyone wanting to use the full potential of photoshop elements.
