Customer Review: I bought the Class on Demand Fundamentals of Adobe PhotoShop Elements 7 and I love it! After watching the training, I used Elements on some graphics and photos I had to use at work. I then used what I learned to create a Graduation Montage of photo's for my daughter College Graduation. I have to admit, there wasn't a dry eye in the house, including mine. The Training DVD is affordable and provides more information about how to use the software then any classroom training could possibly offer. Adobe software can be very daunting, but I feel much more comfortable and confident using them after I have used Class on Demand's trainings. This edition is no different. Sue Jenkins, the instructor, is incredibly easy to follow and explains all the ins and outs of the software. While most other trainings or "how-to" books can cost a lot of money, this DVD not only is interactive and detailed in ways that books are not, but the cost is also much better and worth it. I have recommended this training to many of my friends and colleagues already and I would recommend it to everyone out there that wants to learn how to use the software without having to sweat through the process of self-teaching. --Gerry Lundstrom, Power Users Group

Fundamentals of Adobe Premiere Elements 7

Tim Kolb — 2009/11/20

Emmy-Award winning editor, Tim Kolb, will help you get the most out of your Adobe® Premiere® Elements 7 software. Whether you're a video enthusiast or a parent with a camera, you'll learn how to edit and deliver your home movies.

Customer Review: Class on Demand has done a good job on this tutorial. As a new Adobe Premiere Elements owner and a refugee from the IMovie/ Moviemaker world, I've found this DVD to be invaluable for figuring out the inner workings of my new software. I originally thought that I wouldn't need training, that everything would be intuitive and easy to understand. But there are some things that you just need a DVD for. Adobe Elements is a visual program. Books are OK for some things, but not an editing program. You need to SEE whats happening with motion. DVD's are great for learning the keyboard shortcuts, what each application does, what the Video effect looks like, etc. This DVD is very entertaining and fun to watch. Tim Kolb has a good sense of humor and does a great job pointing out the features of this program. I've found countless "Oh, that's how you do it!" tips so far, from the mundane "How do you right-click?" to the expert "Here's how the pro's make the movies look so good.." He covers it all--and I mean ALL. I can't recommend this DVD highly enough, especially for new Elements users and those of us switching from entry level editng programs. I'm pretty acomplished as a power home user, and even I needed this to get me going. There are so very many tips and tricks that you will learn--things that make sense and which enhance your experience with this well-crafted Training program. Every penny spent on this DVD will have been well worth it. --Ben Sanderson, New York TechnoGeeks
