THIS COMPLETE TRAINING PROGRAM from Adobe Press and video2brain offers over 6 hours of high-quality video training in the fundamentals of Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 11. Experienced author and educator Tim Grey shares his real-world experience using Photoshop Elements in a way that follows a logical photographic workflow. Tim takes you on an extensive tour of the Elements Organizer before introducing image editing. You’ll then learn how to use the basic and creative editing tools, as well as advanced image optimization techniques in the Elements Editor. Finally, you’ll learn how to share your best images quickly and easily via Facebook and Adobe® Revel™.

 

The video includes six hours of high-quality video tutorials, complete with lesson files, assessment quizzes, and review materials. The video is wrapped in a unique interface that allows the viewer to jump to any topic and also bookmark individual sections for later review. The unique Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window to allow the student to work alongside in Photoshop Elements. Project files used in the lessons are included on the disc so viewers can practice what they have learned, and interactive review questions help reinforce freshly gained knowledge.

I recently purchased the premiere elements tutorial, and it was very thorough, but this elements video was horrible. Not only is the narrator using a very monotone voice the whole time and using wasteful words, but there is little tutorial on the editor side of elements in expert mode. He didnt go over all the tools and what to use them for which is what I needed. But, If you want to learn the organizer this video will help you do that. He goes over the sliders to edit brightness, sharpening, and so forth, but does not cover any of the tools except red eye, recompose, whitening teeth, crop, spot healing tool. No mention of lasso and others. I wouldnt recommend this to anyone wanting learn the editor side in depth to anyone. This video was so boring due to the narrators boring tone throughout the whole video, I found myself fast forwarding through most of his jibbering just to get it over with.

UPDATE: I finally found a great tutorial on video, it is 12 hours long and... Read more

Good intro to Photoshop, which is what I needed. The material was well-presented. I could have used a little less emphasis on the organizer and more about the Editor, particularly how to use layers to combine images. Once you go through the video, you will probably need something like the Missing Manual book as a reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for new Organizer. Briefer than past, January 12, 2013

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Elements 11: Learn by Video (DVD-ROM)
Previously, I purchased the "Learn by Video" for Photoshop Elements 9 and found it very useful. Skipping PE 10, I recently upgraded to PE 11. Since PE 11 was reported to have very different user interface, I purchased "Learn by Video" for Photoshop Elements 11. While very useful to jump start my use of PE 11, I compared this product to the previous "Learn by Video". The video for the PE 11 "Learn by Video" had 5 hours while for PE 9 there was 10 hours. In the older "Learn by Video" a useful 101 page booklet was included; in the new version there was only the video disk.

Also the emphasis in the newer version was on the new interface with less on using PE 11. In summary, excellent but skimpy.
