Home > Consumer Reviews > Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 with Scrapper's Guide [Old Version]

I own both these items. Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 is the software package for the serious amatuer photographer. That said there can be a steep learning curve. Linda's CD is an excellent resource because the user can follow along with the images provided in the CD. Also don't be put off by the title if you are not (already) into scrapbooking. The techniques you will learn apply not only to basic photo improvement but also to making composite photos using layers, masks and other effects. Linda's 2nd CD, Vol. 2 Fabulous Photos and pages covers blending modes and photo collages among many other topics. I highly recommend them both.

I purchased these two products separately, but the combination of the two can't be beat!! I am amazed at the things you can do to photos with Adobe Photoshop Elements. I had been using it just to edite pictures and it's super for that, of course. But combine it with The Scrapper's Guide and you've opened up a whole new level of creativity. Linda's software takes you step by step through some pretty amazing projects and really let's you see and understand the enormous capabilities you have available through Elements 4. Just a warning - digital scrapbooking CAN become addictive!!

With Scrappers Guide's training videos by Linda Sattgast, bundled with the newest Adobe Elements4---you have all the keys, tools and ideas to make today's moments become tomorrow's best and prettiest memories.

There just couldn't be a better combination for Digital Scrapbookers everywhere than this is.

Three months ago I was curious about photo-editing and digital scrapbooking. I purchased Scrapper's Guide Basics CD's and Photoshop Elements 4.0 separately and never looked back! I've been able to create heirloom quality pages with my vintage photos, and whimsical pages using my recent digital photos. I highly recommend both products.

I have each of the Adobe Photoshop Elements-2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. Along with each of those I have also purchased the Scrapper's Guides by Linda Sattgast Vols. 1 &2. I also subscribe to her monthly Scrapper's Guide. I love Elements 4.0 and having the video's by Linda along with her written directions are absolutely great. I have learned and am still learning so much from her. This is a deal you should grab.
