Wonderful [Posted on 2006-09-23]
I upgraded from PSE2 and am very happy. The Scrappers Guide CD is absolutely wonderful. It is so easy to follow. I know I will be whipping through PS in no time.

Great beginners program for less money. [Posted on 2006-10-28]
I bought the older version with the scrapbook CD added in for a much more reasonable price than the newer PS 9 or brand new photoshop that costs huge dollars. If you ask me I don't know why the average user would like more than this 4.0 gives, it seems to have everything you need and I still had to buy a step by step tutorial book to figure it out. It is not childs play. It is a complicated powerful program, but I love what it can do and am bound and determined to learn. I would start at this one and work my way up as I became proficient at photoshop. I'd like to try Adobe Premier 2.0 but this photoshop program 4.0 will definitely keep me busy for a long while. I highly recommend it for the learner.

Worth it! [Posted on 2007-01-03]
Pricey but worth it. The software is very easy to use. I have made VCD's for family members who LOVE to watch it over and over. Its easy to add the pictures and the music.

Not impressed [Posted on 2007-01-03]
I had to purchase this software for a class in my masters program. It doesn't do much more than the free image programs that came preloaded on my computer. I rarely use it now that my class is over. I use the full version of Photoshop at my job so it was pretty annoying to find that it wasn't similar to the full version at all. It was like using a completely different brand of software. And the photo manager that came with it was pretty annoying too. Advanced users will probably be annoyed by the program, but it is fairly simple enough for moderate computer users. If you already have image editing software on your computer you might as well stick with what you have. If you don't have anything at all, this program does get the job done. I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't have to have it for class. Although I didn't use the scrapbooking stuff that came with it, it did look like it had some cute ideas for making photo albums.

great cataloguing system & helpful guide [Posted on 2007-01-05]
I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 for its easy interface and compatibility with Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0, the video editing software. Photoshop 4.0 has a great cataloguing system that allows for easy tracking and sorting of videos and photos. This feature is particularly flexible because it allows you to create your own ways of identifying and grouping photos and videos which are easily cross-referenced and retrievable. The Scrapper's Guide was an unexpected bonus because it's got a video tutorial which goes much further than a manual can alone in teaching techniques. The Scrapper's Guide teaches the basics that you need to know for any Photoshop project -- not just scrapbooking. It's more fun to watch a demonstration than it is just to read about it in my opinion. Minor drawback: Photoshop 4.0's customizing email function for sharing photos is not compatible with all email address books. I still have lots to learn about this software, but overall I think it was a wise and worthy purchase.
