Video-Book \"Animated Introduction to Adobe Photoshop Elements\" v.5.0

For Immediate Release

Andrei Doubrovski, a professional photo restoration artist and
technician, has released version 5.0 of video-book \"Animated
Introduction to Adobe Photoshop Elements\".

This courseware is intended for users of this \"kid brother\" of famous
Photoshop. To speed-up the learning every tutorial is packed with
a short movie showing some practical usage of the wordy lesson.

Are you looking for a video course? The 76 embedded clips can be played as
a single full-length and full-size movie (total running time about 2 hours).
The elaborated controls allow users instant finding a required fragment.

In the meantime, the book\'s interface features all the essential functions
available in popular \"readers\" and web browsers - table of contents,
history, bookmarks, text search, etc. Moreover, the conception of video-book
combines the advantages of the e-book and video formats. For example, you can
use full-text search to find a particular movie episode, and then bookmark it.

Although the program is generally reputed as \"amateurish\", the author propagates
the \"grown-up\" Photoshop\'s approach to photo editing. The course introduces
you to the essential techniques of the program - color and tonal adjustments,
layers, transformations, selecting, and masking. (The full version of this book
comes to you with a patch uncovering some undocumented masking and selecting
functions of your Elements.)

Also, the author offers a collection of practical solutions. Real photos are
enhanced, retouched, and manipulated for you in real time, showing the most
efficient combinations of the discussed methods.

The video-book is available as Windows and Mac packages. (Although the course
has been composed for Windows version of Photoshop Elements it is also
compatible with Photoshop Elements 4.0 for Mac.)

The both versions are offered for $12 US to download (file size is
surprisingly small - about 15 Mb) or $24.50 for CD shipping.
