Photoshop/Premiere Elements
ADOBE (www.adobe.com)
has released new versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements for Windows
users, which are now available individually or together in one package. Photoshop
Elements 4.0 provides a simple way for
students to enhance, organize, and display
their digital photos in creative and entertaining ways, such as via slideshows.
The updated version offers tools for users at all skill levels, including one-click
fixes, as well as more advanced editing tools such as the new Magic Selection
Brush (for making adjustments to a specific part of a photo), and the Magic
Extractor (which easily removes subjects from photos). Premiere Elements 2.0
is Adobe’s complete home-video editing solution that lets users produce
videos with Hollywood-style effects and professional Dolby sound. Students can
transfer footage by FireWire or USB2 from any digital video device, experiment
with hundreds of professional transitions and effects, and burn videos to DVD.
In addition, the package includes a Teacher Resource Center CD with lessons,
tutorials, and tips to help teachers engage students. Pricing: $69 each, $119
for the package.
