The Adobe Classroom In A Book for Photoshop Elements 7 is the company manual for Elements 7. It takes you from the basics of filing and editing your photos through how to put together a slide presentation and sharing your work with others. It includes a CD with more tips and hints to better your efforts. I used Elements 7 in a college class I took a few years ago. I enjoyed using it for the class, but after the class I became lazy and started using Picasa by Google for my everyday editing needs. For a quick, basic editor it is fine, but it is not nearly as robust as Adobe Elements, nor can it perform the more intricate tasks that Elements performs with ease. My interest in Elements 7 was rekindled recently and I reinstalled it on my XP computer. I found out that it doesn't take me very long to forget how to use something that I have set aside for a while, and although I could manage the basic editing functions, I had forgotten how to do the more demanding tasks. My solution was to buy the Classroom in a Book book to relearn the many functions available in Elements 7, and I'm glad I did. All one needs to do is to sit at the computer with Elements open and the book open and follow the easy to understand instructions. Soon one will be editing like a "pro" and will be proud of the results one is able to produce to show off to friends, and/or to enter into photo contests. The only drawback that I have found is that Adobe Elements 7 didn't want to install on my Windows 7 computer, so check before you buy if you are using a newer system than XP, or upgrade to a newer version of Elements.Read full review

This book is a must have for those learning Photoshop Elements 7. This is the missing manual! It is the official training workbook direct from Adobe Systems. The book is clearly written and easy to understand. It includes a CD which contain exercises that correspond with each lesson in the manual, giving you a hands on approach to learning Elements 7. The book is divided into 11 Chapters with corresponding lessons that cover every aspect of Elements 7 along with a getting started section. It begins with a Tour of Elements and proceeds with Basic Organizing, Advanced Organizing, Creating Projects, Printing, Sharing and Exporting, Adjusting Color in Images, Fixing Exposure Problems, Repairing and Retouching Images, Working with Text, Combining Multiple Images, and Advanced Editing Techniques. It describes/defines RAW images and why you should use them, filters, masks, histograms, white balance, image layers, etc-just to name a few. It goes into detail about each tool, why and what it is used for and the lessons on the disk help reinforce the instructions since it gives a "Hands on approach" I had no experience with photo editing software and this manual has been unbelieveable. I highly recommend it to anyone that is learning Elements 7 and I think it would also be great for the self taught user of Elements 7 because of all the short cuts and "tricks of the trade" it teaches you to use.Read full review
This is a tutorial in a book for the Photoshop Elements 7 program. It has a detailed book that comes with a CD in the back. It shows you step by step how to do each one of the features included in the Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 program. It is very easy to follow and understand, is fairly interesting, and you feel like you accomplished alot after the first two lessons. This book does not come with the actual program, so you have to purchase that prior to purchasing this tutorial. For someone who hasn't ever used Photoshop successfully, this was a great way to learn the program. I would recommend it to anyone.
A must have for Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 users. The software does not come with any instructions on use so this is a great way to learn all of the features offered in this program. The book is illustrated very well. The step by step instructions are very precise and are accompanied by pictures so it is easy (even for non-computer saavy people like me) to use. Learn how to find, download, edit and organize your photos. A cd with 9 different lessons is included to help you understand and use the features of this program. I feel that this is well worth the money if you want to take full advantage of the software.
For old version Window (up to 10), it is good.
