Adobe Books

Very useful guide. Well laid out and interesting

Adobe offers this combination of their Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements, as a unitary text. The aim is to show how you can learn both in a synergistic manner. That there can be a seamless transition from dealing with your static images to pasting together video and images. All of which is offered with powerful tools in each package.

Perhaps the main reader for this book is one who wants to use Premiere, and is considering Photoshop. For the majority of Photoshop users, who will not be creating videos, the book is superfluous, however well written it might be.

Photoshop Elements lets you enhance static images, while Premiere Elements lets you compose movies. As you might expect, there is close correlation between the ideas in both packages. So Adobe offers this book that gives a unified view.

Though it should be quickly said that it is written in such a way as to allow random access. That is, if you have a specific problem or task, involving one of those packages, you can look for any relevant section. Assuming it exists, you do not have to read earlier sections to understand that one.

The other advantage of the book is that it is authoritative.

A solid introduction to Photoshop Elements 3 that will appeal to photographers moving from traditional film and darkroom printing to digital photography. While this book doesn't venture too far into 'advanced' techniques, and doesn't explore the 'hidden features' mentioned in some other Elements guides, it does cover all the essentials and includes some useful tips and techniques. Comparisons with film camera and darkroom techniques will appeal to traditional photographers.

If you're new to Elements, this guide will give you a thorough grounding, but if you've been using Elements for some time and are looking for more advanced techniques then you'll probably find another book more interesting.

If you already use Photoshop and want to move onto the more advanced aspects of static image editing, then Elements should be used, and this book is [presumably] an official guide to it.

Some sections describe how to import images. Typically from a digital camera or by capturing a subset of frames from digital videos. For the latter, a wide range of common formats is supported, including AVI, MPG, MPEG, WMV, ASF and MLV. Essentially, these are imported easily, so that you don't have to worry about the details of each encoding.

One think you might notice about Elements is that it is more than just editing a given image. Substantial space is devoted to showing how you can make a collection of photos. So that it's not just a grab bag of images. Elements lets you group these into subsets, and view these against backgrounds and in various styles. A very flexible photo album. This framework is impressive and lets you be creative at a level above single imges.

I have bought books from this company before, and they always produce useful books, tips, and a website that trains you on the software. I would recommend this book for new and season users.

This is the first book I have read by Robert Vaughn. It is pretty good. It is a story about Hank Tyreen. It takes him from coming out of the Civil War to him being in Kansas and a successful rancher. Along the way he is a robber, sheriff, buffalo hunter, scout for the army, indian fighter and various other things. He is smart and handles himself very well. The language is not to bad and the story moves very well. He is a great shot with a rifle as is proven in the book. He keeps coming across Bat Masterson and Will Bill Hickok. They become friends. All in all a pretty good read.

This is a small but very graphic compilations of tropial wooden houses, also some adobe and brick houses, with more than 300 pictures of full views and many details of architecture, lifestyle, flowers, trees, people even furniture from houses built between 1900 and 1950 at San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

Also includes beautiful blue prints of some of the archetypes of architecture, honduran poetry related to architecture and the lifestyle in similar houses, some historic background and a section narrating the time traditions.

A nice work intended to save form destruction at least in the memory, some of the old houses and the past days

Beautifull photografy,house details, written in spanish.

Like many of the 'Classroom in a Book' publications from Adobe, "Advanced Adobe Photoshop for Windows" covers a broad range of topics. Even though it is a bit older, Photoshop has not changed so much that it is irrelvant. The basics are the basics. After going through it, however, I felt it was far from advanced.

I have to be honest and admit that I never saw this book. But I did see the CD that comes with it. It has 6 hours of instruction and for someone who knew nothing about After Effects, it really brought me up to speed.

I went to her website, www.lynda.com, and for $25 you can have access to all the tutorial training videos from this book. Not only that but you can see all the videos from all her other books. I've been spending days learning tons of stuff.

I don't know if I can tell someone to buy a $100 book. But her site is awesome.
