This innovative product from Adobe Press combines interactive video and a printed reference to teach you the basics of Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8, the best selling consumer photo- and video-editing software on the market. The product teaches you not only the fundamentals of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements, but also how to use the programs to create effective forms of digital communication. You'll get 10 to 12 hours of video, presented by experienced instructors, as well as lesson files, assessment quizzes and review materials. The DVD is bundled with a printed booklet that provides a topic-by-topic guide to the video. The video is wrapped in a unique interface that allows the viewer to jump to any topic, and to bookmark individual topics for later review. Project files used in the lessons are included on the disk so the students can practice what they've learned, and review questions help to reinforce freshly gained knowledge.
