I put up a post a week or so ago looking for training materials for PE. In the course of doing this research I came upon something called Classroom in a Book. This is put out by another company which seems to be partnered with Adobe. Has anyone tried this product for any version of PE?

Hi Dick:
I bought the book and it worked just fine for me. It also has the CD on the back cover with all the images on it. I had no idea of what to do other than opening the program. I have PSE 5 and so that was what got me started. It is very,very basic.

I have found two other Forums that have been very helpfull for me, and everyone there are friendly and helpfull and eager to answer all your questions,and they have a lot of tutorials and contest you can participate in. 1) www.photoshopcreativeelements.com 2) www.villageelements.com. Hope this helps.

Sorry about the second URL I did a typo. it is elementsvillage.com/ forums. This is now a standalone news group that was part of adobe. ( photoshopelementsuser.com). However due to management cost, they will be closing that site sometime early next year.

BTW, another book I use PSE 5 "The Missing Manual" by Barbara Brundage. Agian, I am sorry to send you on a wild goose

I have been checking out various books in our libary system in order to decide which book(s) I want to buy. We don’t have the Missing Manual. Can you give me a very brief idea of what is in there? Is it directed at beginners or …………?

TIA

Good Norning: Missing Manual ,I would say, goes from beginnner up to intermediate. It takes you through all the tools and their effects. I use it as a reference book more than a read book. It has helped me out quite a bit once I began to understand how different things worked.

What I am doing is getting out some photos, or getting some from iStock, and just playing around with them,using different tutorials, trying some of the challenges in the forums, asking questions. There are so many ways of doing different steps to get the same results. Selections are very hard for me, and the Manual explains what each selection tool is used for and why.However I have found using one selection tool to start the selection, and use another for finishing my selection works well for me.

You might try Amazon. They are having a sale on a lot of stuff right now. I sometimes go to a major book retailer, get a cup of coffee, find a easy chair and brouse through the book before buying.

Or if this doesn’t work use Goggle with words, Manual PSE n where n=whatever version
Or Goggle "Classroom in a book"
