I recently bought the adobe photoshop cs4 classroom in a book. I found that book very interesting be

cause learned a lot of things. That particular book along with the CD gives you the proper practice step by step. Unfortunatelly I already went through that book twice and I would like to know of a similar book that comes with a  CD and you get step by step instructions to practice photoshop.
Thanks a million

I agree with John Joslin, lynda.com is awesome!
I buy a lot of computer books. When I purchased Dreamweaver CS5 at Adobe.com there was a offer for a free 30 day subscription to lynda.com
When I was using the 30 day demo of Dreamweaver CS5 I was search and reading book reviews for Dreamweaver so If I decided to purchase Dreamweaver (I did end up purchasing it) I would know what book/books I should purchase to go with it.
After just a few days of using my free 30 day trial of lynda.com I paid for a subscription to the site. I have learned so much about Dreamweaver and now Fireworks from lydna.com in the first few weeks of working with the adobe programs and it only cost as much (or even less) then a lot of books on Dreamweaver or Fireworks.
I will still be purchasing books for the adobe programs for future references, but lynda.com sure is a great way to get a jump start on learning a product that was completely new to me.
I highly recommend you give lynda.com a try.

  • I bought the Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book for CS6 by accident and I have CC. I know, stupid mistake. But I can't take return the book. Is is similar enough to CC that I can still get use out of the book? Thank you so much

    Each version of Adobe products builds upon the previous ones.  Some things like filters and advanced features may evolve or become deprecated over time, but the basic tools have remained pretty much the same for decades.  As long as you know there are subtle differences between versions, I think you will still get a great deal of value from C in a B for CS6.

  • I bought the adobe photoshop/premiere elements 10. I installed from disc 1 for the 32 bit windows.

    What do I do with the other 4 discs??

      For Windows 32 bit you only need disks 1 and 4. Simply insert disk 4 into your DVD drive to complete the content installation and follow the on-screen instructions.

    Hello,
    I've bought the "Adobe Photoshop CS5 Classroom in a Book" and watched the videos.  In the video training, chapter 3 Image Editing Concepts, Kelly announces that she will deal selections, puppet wraps, layers, masks. I haven't found the videos. Do you know where I can find those videos?

    Hi Nini Tjäder,
    Thanks for the link but I actually have the book that shows the same thing except the links from amazon unfortunately doesn't show the tools and what they do. Thanks anyways. I was able to find a site that shows the list of tools like in the book but better in one single page. I just wish I knew what my professor meant by "concepts" and "skills" since there could be a variety of these but what?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extreme Lag?

    Hello everyone!
    I've been a fan of Adobe for quite some time and started using it the first day in my new school. (We were given laptops with CS4 installed for free.)
    Now the thing is, 2 years has gone and I've recently gotten a new computer and I recently bought the Adobe CS4 Masters Collection. It's a great package and it was definetily worth saving my money for and tons of begging, my parents finally gave in. However, aside from Photoshop CS4 ALL programs work extremely smooth and I'm learning a lot.
    Photoshop CS4 does not unfortunately. I will try to explain this as thoroughly as possible. Whenever I try to write text or change tool it always comes up a "Progress" box loading what I'm doing, for example if I just want to make a text box and write "Hello." it will take forever:
    This is a print screen of me writing the text: "Hello." this is around 3 minutes in... I recall that Photoshop does not normally take that long to process writing that text nor changing tool... what is happening? Below are my PC specifications:
    Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3300MHz
    16GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    Also, since I'm using an SSD harddrive to boot up I made sure that my 'Scratch Disks' are not on my bootup harddrive which is C: so I configured it to look like:
    And yes, I did try to turn off OpenGL. No changes. I did try the original scratch disk to be C. No changes. I did play around with the RAM usage, no changes. I really need help, it feels like a big portion of my money was tossed into the recycle bin.
    Also I did try to use the program with the Default settings, it has been like this from THE START. I've tried using both the 32bit and 64bit version but still nothing.

    >> recently bought the Adobe CS4 Masters Collection.
    It's been about 2 years since that was available for sale.
    Where did you get an obsolete version of the suite?
    Now about performance: Did you notice that your document is zoomed out to 1%?
    You've got a HUGE document. Most likely you made a mistake in the resolution of the document and typed 2000 inches instead of 2000 pixels or something like that.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 has Stopped Working on Windows 7

    Hey guys and girls. I recently got a new computer running Windows 7 64bit. I still have good ol photoshop cs4 and wanted to use it on this new computer. The install process was completed and as I started the program, I get the "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working" box. I've looked through some forums, and a lot of them mention the wacom tablet issue, which is not the issue since I've yet to install the drivers for my tablet. Has anyone come across this problem at all? This is what shows up when I get that error box.
    C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERCA9F.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
      C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE1B8.tmp.appcompat.txt
      C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE246.tmp.mdmp
    Please help, thanks in advance

    The first thing that I would do is insure that you have the latest video driver installed (but do keep any older ones, just in case you must roll-back - newest is not always the best).
    If that does not help, then open Even Viewer, and check for all warning, or error messages in System and Application tabs, for the time that PS crashed. If you find any with links, follow those links - be patient, as some might take a few moments to send data to MS, and then for MS to process it, to open the proper page for that link plus the data gathered. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail, and I do not think that it is too Adobe Premiere-centric.
    Good luck,

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 Installation Error

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop CS4 for a few months now without any problems or errors.
    But last week.. i had a virus problem and decided to do a Clean Installation of my Operating System.
    I was not too worried because I have done this millions of times already... and know the process like the back of my hand.
    Well.. after the clean installation was complete, i started to load my applications.
    To my surprise.. Adobe Photoshop CS4 would not install. Nor would Adobe Illustrator CS4.
    It would get to the screen "Adobe is beginig the installation process" and would stall ..
    At first... i thought it would eventually complete on it's own.. but after a few attempts and hours of the same screen with no progress.. it was obvious Adobe was no longer responding at that stage.
    I searched high and low, night and day, over a few days trying to figure out the problem.
    I was trouble-shooting everything.
    In the middle of trouble-shooting, i took a break to surf the Net and see if i could find any suggestions when i ran into this Forum.
    Someone mentioned disabling your Internet Security & Windows Defender.. and i thought.. no way.. it can't be that easy.
    Well.. what do you know.. it was my Internet Security (Kaspersky Internet Security 2010)
    After disabling Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, Adobe flew right pass the part where it was stalling, and finished installation without incident.
    Adobe Illustrator CS4 also installed without any problems ...
    I just wanted to share my experience as i know how frustrating it can be when software refuses to install.
    Good Luck to everyone.. be patient.. trial & error. .. and im sure you'll figure it out.

    @ ApologetX
    I had a similar problem when i extracted the contents of my Adobe DVD and made an ISO file out of it so i would no longer need the DVD for installation.
    But what i realized is that.. Adobe will not install if it's installed from the ISO.. and during installation.. an error would pop up.. and ask for the DVD
    You probably have done something similar.
    Here's what i did to fix:
    - Extract the contents of Adobe Photoshop CS4 into a Folder
    - and install from that ..
    After i extracted the contents and installed from "setup.exe" .. the installation completed without error ..
    DVD
    - If you're having problems from the DVD .. then try to extract the Contents of the DVD on to your Desktop..
    and install from there ..
    Trial Installer
    - As for the Trial you are referring to .. im not familiar with it ..
    but try to extract the contents of it to your Desktop .. and go from there ..
    Good Luck

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4/5 Crashes when using the Move Tool

    Hello. I'm here because I'm having an issue with Photoshop.
    I was trying out CS5 when it started to crash every time I tried to use the Move Tool. It was the generic error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working.
    A problem has caused Adobe Photoshop CS4 to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    Thinking that it was a CS5 issue, I went back to my copy of CS4, only to find the same thing happening there (I also downgraded because CS5 was also crashing at other random times for some reason, but that's an issue for another time).
    This puzzles me because both were working fine before. Granted, I hadn't opened them for a while, but it was a sudden thing.
    My first impulse was to uninstall and reinstall CS4. No luck. So then, I uninstalled all third-party plugins, thinking that might be it. Still, the same problem. I started looking around on Google for solutions and found the instructions on resetting the Tool preferences (I chose to reset the preferences for ALL of the tools). When that didn't work, I tried deleting the preferences file outright, which said instructions recommended. Nothing.
    I should note that Photoshop crashes when using the Move Tool to move an object without ant lines around it, i.e., a layer. I'll move the object, and after two to three seconds, the mentioned error message will appear and Windows will close Photoshop. This, however, only seems to happen after selecting, copying, and pasting part of a large object with some variation of the Marqee Tool (thus making that part a new layer by default) while working at a zoom of 100%. So, in short, working with a large image like <a href=http://www.wallpaper4me.com/images/wallpapers/ergo_proxy_267_1280-862301.jpeg>This</a> at 100% zoom. The image linked is the image that I was using and am currently using to reproduce the problem. It is 1280x1024 pixels. I have tested this with somewhat smaller, yet comparable images too. Same problem. I have never had this problem working with large images before, and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions short of formatting my hard drive.

    Even a decent RAM upgrade is usually only a few hundred dollars nowadays, but it's not a trivially simple process.  That said, with a little research and care you can do it.  Alternatively, you can hire people (e.g., "Geek Squad") to do such an upgrade.
    First, you'll need to know what your operating system capacity is.  For example, a 32 bit Windows system can really only use up to a bit more than 3 GB of RAM, while a 64 bit Windows system can use all the RAM you can find a place to plug in.  What version of Windows are you running?
    Then you'll need to determine what RAM you have installed and what your computer's maximum RAM capacity is - usually you can do this through internet research, either by visiting your computer manufacturer's web site or doing google searches.  There are even RAM manufacturer web sites that will tell you what kind of RAM your computer needs and suggest sources, for example:
    http://www.kingston.com/
    It may be that you can just plug additional chips into currently empty sockets, or it is possible you'll need to replace the RAM chips you have installed in your computer to make room for an upgrade.  Every computer is different.
    If you list your computer model and current RAM that you have installed here, it may be that someone can help with more specific advice.

  • Can I use Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended on my brand new iMac? I had PS on my old Mac using the student licensing.

    About four years ago, I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended while I was in undergrad. I downloaded it to my Mac. Since then, I've purchased a brand new iMac. Can I use this same software? I know it's been four years so the software is very updated, AND my new iMac does NOT have a cd drive. This may all be in vain. I'm just clueless! Thanks!
