 Worth every penny! December 7, 2009

This is a great book for both the novice as well as the experienced user. For the novice, there's step by step instructions on how to import and edit your photos to get the most out of what might not be the best looking shot. For the experienced user, the breakdown of sections and chapters makes this an excellent reference to fine tune your skills and learn the secrets that allow you to get to the next level.
I spend my day supporting programs such as this and recommend this book to people that purchase this program and need a step by step tutor.
Elements is worth it. January 2, 2010

If you are a novice photographer/designer and feel that regular Photoshop is too much for what you need it for, Photoshop Elements 8 and the Digital Classroom book are the perfect choice. This book clearly explains how to make your pictures look the best they can and everything is easy to follow. I really enjoyed the several chapters pertaining to adjusting color and exposure. This is perfect for those "great" shots you take that don't come out quite the way you expected. I also like the fact that with Elements 8 you can actually blend photos together using the Layers feature. This is a very handy book and program for those who want to get a little more out of their photos, without feeling like they need to have a professional photography studio software to accomplish it. Thanks AGI.
Great Instructional Manual! March 6, 2010
Novice

Adobe PSE8 Digital Classroom is a great instructional manual. I can't say enough good things about it! If I could give it 10 stars, I would. First of all, I am fairly computer literate, but a novice when it comes to photo editing. After purchasing PSE8, I was struggling to learn the program on my own. Then, eureka, I found Adobe PSE8 Digital Classroom. Digital Classroom is a step-by-step book that comes with a DVD. The DVD has video lessons for each chapter of the book and pictures to use for learning each feature. The video lessons provide an overview of the material covered in each chapter. The pictures, in my opinion, are the best attribute of Digital Classroom. As you apply the applications to the pictures, you will learn what each application is and precisely how to use it. Digital Classroom teaches you how to use the program in a clear, easy to understand, step-by-step, methodical manner. One caveat is that it is a time-consuming process. For me, it took approximtely two to four hours to get through each chapter (much like going to a class). However, once you do, you'll discover that the program is actually easy and fun to use. Now, I'm glad that I bought PSE8, and I am enjoying photo editing. It's easy to use, once you know how. If you are struggling to learn how to use PSE8, then look no further. This book will truly teach you how to use the program.

BETTER THAN A CLASSROOM THAT IS TOO CROWDED... YOU CAN LEARN IN YOUR "OWN CLASSROOM" AND BE THE ONLY STUDENT! I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY :)
