Every so often a product comes along that is very hard to rate. A couple of them grace my desk as I write this. Products that escape an easy assignment of stars usually perform their job fairly well, but fall down on other points. Photo Retouching with Adobe Photoshop Elements, a training DVD by Software Cinema, is just such a product. Jane Conner-ziser, a Photoshop artist, walks you through 16 stepped tasks in this training DVD. Her voice is easy to understand, her instructions are complete, and the lessons are diverse, informative, and useful.

Topics range from a too brief introduction to Photoshop Elements 4.0 to using layers, editing wrinkles and facial blemishes, to creating scrapbook borders and adding text. The information alone would easily yield a 4-star product, but there are a few kinks in the works. Control - Command The beginning of the disc is almost comical, because the first lesson includes instructions for inserting the DVD, which of course you cannot see until it is running. A minor point, but indicative of a number of small nuisances I found while watching the learning tool. I just cannot recommend this series to Mac users, without a caution sign.

Read the reviews and was somewhat hesitant to load Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018. But went ahead with it anyway. Wouldn't install. So after a lot of looking around the web, I finally downloaded an updated OS for my Macbook Air, High Sierra. Took about an hour, but finally finished. Then I was able to finish the install of Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018. Buy Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 for Windows & Mac - Full Version Software with fast shipping and top-rated customer service.

(The caution sign might read: When you hear press Control, press Command on the Mac.) Interface Problems Note that line, I watched the DVD. Software Cinema markets Photo Retouching as an interactive product, where you can follow along using the files provided on the DVD.

The problem is that the interface takes up most of your screen, unless you have a large monitor. While the Read Me lists recommended resolutions, none of them worked for me. My 15' PowerBook G4 screen prevented me from using the navigation buttons in the recommended resolution.

The interface in which the movies run is not resizable either. The video automatically pauses if you open up another program or go to the Desktop. So, you can jump back and forth to try to edit along with the video, but that may disrupt the learning process. Thankfully, the movies are in QuickTime format, and you can run them directly from the DVD, or even copy them to your hard drive, which is what I did. That is the first problem. Where is the Mac? The second problem is the software used in each lesson.
