Deke’s DVD is great! The most important benefit I learned from the DVD is how to have an accountable bird’s view of the different features. Deke’s explains the organizer and the editing of images in a very simple and comfortable way. I was very satisfied with Deke’s DVD.

As always Deke has done an excellent job of presenting Photoshop Elements 5 and showing how to use the product. He is very good in defining every step of an application. I have enjoyed this video as well as others he has done and learn something every time I watch it.

I am overwhelmed at how good this video is. Deke has a very personable style and teaches in a language that is very easy to understand, follow along, and most important of all duplicate.

The DVD comes with 100’s of sample images, of his kids by the way, that you can play with without worrying about messing up any of your own.

I set up the DVD on a small floating screen in my browser and then opened up Photoshop Elements 5 and just followed along every step of the way.

He has made very large learning curve soooooo much smaller.

I love this product and recommend it VERY highly. I am very glad I purcahsed this product

Deke McClelland makes studying Elements a joy. Not only does he clarify everything so clearly, he does it with humor. It is much easier than attending a classroom where everyone is at a different level. Because of time limitations I have not finished the complete DVD, but now I can start wherever I need to and pick up where I left off. I highly recommend this product.
