Photoshop Elements 4 One-on-One marks a landmark in computer publishing. In addition to offering 12 lessons of project-based tutorials with all sample files included, each lesson starts with a video introduction, hosted by the author himself, Deke McClelland. And these are no ordinary videos. Produced by Adobe's official video training partner, Total Training, each video measures 960 by 540 pixels and plays at 30 frames per second, with no interlacing. That's a play rate of 15.5 million pixels per second, making this the first computer publication to include high-definition video, playable on any modern PC with a DVD-ROM drive. The picture is so crystal clear, it's like watching the world-reknowned expert work right along with you.
In addition to the video -- all new recordings created exclusively for this title -- the book has been completely revamped for Photoshop Elements 4. Inside the full-color pages are new exercises devoted to color-correcting skin tones, auto-tagging images with faces, isolating foreground subjects, extracting people and objects from their backgrounds, creating custom slide shows, correcting red-eye, and sharing images online. Every bit as wildly ambitious and brass-tacks practical as the best-selling image editor itself, Photoshop Elements 4 One-on-One will have you gasping with amazement at your own creations. Deke puts the magic of digital imaging squarely where it belongs -- in your hands.

EXCELLENT PROGRAM:
THIS PRODUCT WAS EASY TO FOLLOW IT WAS VERY HELPFUL. YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR TIME GO SLOW. WATCH THE VIDEO, READ THE BOOK AND THEN DO THE PROJECTS. DO THIS WITH EVERY CHAPTER.
Great Tutorial:
Although Deke breezes through his video mighty fast, he does acquaint you with the many possibilities that Photoshop has to offer. If you then see something you wish to pursue, you can retrieve it at your own pace.
Good Introduction But....:
The book is well written and organized. However, the step by step approach does not allow for a good understanding of the tools, etc. that one is using. There are still so many questions I have when I work on photos. It also needs a much more in depth review and instruction of restoring old photographs. The section on color was very good and I liked it the best. Since I have a Mac, the first lesson is worthless. The Bridge application that ships with the Mac version is very different and quite sophisticated... more info
photoshop elements 4:
this book is not at all conversent for Mac In talking with the editors they are not going to have an edition that is Feel that more explanation should be given as why to make changes in the color correction areas would not recommend for the novice Mac user 2 stars for the Mac user
