Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 plus Adobe Premiere Elements review:
5 stars (A great video editing product with a great photo product) - I am thoroughly satisfied with Premiere elements and the photoshop elements bundle.



My primary purpose was to capture video. I had software that came with my camera and my computer that were video packages but nothing was easy or very functional.



I have been able to capture digital video on DV tape from a CANON digital camcorder and transfer it via IEEE 1394 firewire cable (purchased separately) to my computer.



What you will like about this software:



1. Transferring video is easy - plug it in and let it start recording. Make sure you have enough free Hard Drive space available. Video takes gig's to record.



2. The video will be automatically subdivided into separate clips based on the breaks on your film. This makes it easy to add transitions and edit.



3. Adding effects and transitions is easy - just drag the one you want to the breakpoint on the clip. There are a good selection of fades and transitions which look professional.



4. You can add titles and captions with ease. Just create the caption and drag onto to the second video track in the segment you want to contain the caption.



5. It comes with a 20 minute training video that covers photoshop and premiere elements. In 20 minutes I could do everything I needed... and then some.



6. Burning to a dvd - I created one dvd on my first try with no glitches. It was a 20 minute video.



7. You can create DVD slideshows of picture galleries. Grab your photos and drop them on a video timeline and you're basically done. You can also add transitions and title pages and effects to these items as well.



8. Add music to your video sequences. Using digitally recorded music or any audio clip you can drop the audio track next to the video tracks to create background music.



A buddy used a competitor's product two years back and it was painful and time consuming to create a dvd.



Adobe has provided a great, feature rich product that when bundled with Photoshop makes a great buy.



You won't regret buying this product.
5 stars (Adobe does it again) - It keeps getting better... Elements 3 is a wonderful tool for the amateur to the advance photographer/digital-imaging enthusiast. If you are looking for digital imaging software, you cannot go wrong with Elements 3. Its very easy to use (easier than Photoshop CS2) and I bet many of you weren't aware that Elements 3 does about 90% of what Photoshop CS2 at a HUGE fraction of the cost.... and as for the other 10% - the good news is there are plenty of tips and tricks to achieve it - and more good news; Elements 4 was just released - like I said it keeps getting better. A great place for tips, tricks and tutorials, of course need to subscribe to the magazine, but trust me its worth every penny - just like the software!






5 stars (Great Package!!!) - This software package does more than I ever imagined. Both programs must be the "Best of Class". It does take a while to load, but it's worth the wait.
