support for typing tutorial
I bought this typing tutorial but beware if you have troubles, they don't answer at the manufacturer. You are on your own with even simple questions. This is keeping me from rating it higher. They need to respond to folks. RM

It really scares me!
IT REALLY SCARES ME HOW MUCH I THOUGHT, THAT I COULD TYPE EVEN A LITTLE.SPEED IS NOT REALLY THE THING ACCURACY IS MORE IMPORTANT.MAVIS BEACON IS TEACHING ME THE TRUE DYNAMICS OF TYPING SO THAT I CAN REALLY USE MY SKILLS AS A WRITER BEFORE NOW I'VE JUST BEEN THE ONE WHO WRITES EVERYTHING BY HAND! THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A NEW OPPORTUNITY AT ACCURACY AND PATIENCE!

So far this is a wonderful program!
I love this program. I have not spentalot of time using it but I have already learned most of the keys. I am typing wothout looking down :o) I have windows xp and was hesitant at 1st because of some other reviews saying it was locking up. I have not had any lock-up issues, it runs very smooth. I had doubts that a program like this could teach me to type, but I am happy to see it really works. ... Read more

From Pinnacle to Adobe Premiere Elements
I have been frustratingly using Pinnacle for years.I started with Pinnacle 7.0 and had problems with it locking up.When Pinnacle offered Pinnacle 9.0 with claims that all its problems were solved I bought it.It was as bad in fact worse than the 7.0.It had many features that were locked and could only be opened using a credit card.

Please get it
I started with Adobe Elements Photoshop 3 and Premier 1. This is my 2nd upgrad. My computer is 2 years old and I'm glad I bought Pentium 4 with a lot of RAM and hard drive. This upgrade is great. Major improvement from Elements 4&2. If you used Premier 2 extensively you will find that this upgrade will make your work much easier. An iprovement to axccess all menues, love the new time line (now it has two time lines were you can switch between them, the old one +the new one were you can go to each scene in a click. You can narrate directly to your timeline. I tried my USB mic, it did not work. I read a little and tried my old serial mic, it worked beautifuly. During narration, premier will add a new audio segment in the timeline. The best way is to turn off the sound and used headphone to hear your video and narrate during playback, otherwise you'll get an echo (you'll be recording your voice and the playback at the same time).
Initial Review of Premiere Elements 3.0
So far I am very impressed with this product. PE3 Installed without any problems. After struggling with Pinnacle Studio 9 for a long time, I have finally found a product to replace it!!! No crashes, very fast program.
NO Stars...WARNING..Prem Elements MAY NOT WORK
I bot & rec'd delivery today from Amazon...Premiere Elements will NOT install...reason from Adobe website: Many CPUs do not have SSE2 support and will not work with Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0: Intel Pentium III, AMD Athlon, AMD Athlon XP, or AMD Athlon XP-M. note: "WILL NOT WORK"....It won't even install...Amazon should NOT sell this product!! Or should place LARGE warnings...$130 thrown away....can NOT get thru to Adobe tech support...so a COMPLETE RIP-OFF!!!

New and Improved Features
Paint Shop Pro has been a favorite graphics software for many years and has a large number of faithful users. It is used by photographers and hobbyists to arrange, organize, adjust and enhance photos. On the other hand, it is used by many artists to create digital art, marketing and web graphics and more. Paint Shop Pro is on its eleventh upgrade and is now owned by the Corel Corporation. With this latest upgrade, named Paint Shop Pro Photo XI, the software has some new and improved features that will help you increase your creativity and productivity.
Buggy
I create digital scrapbooking graphics and frequently save items in .png format - which, with this program, can't be done properly.It does not retain the transparency.If you save it with the optimizer, you get an ugly background.Without the optimizer, it tricks you into thinking it is alright because it looks transparent to you - however, opening it in any other program (such as PSE, PSCS, PSP9, PSPX, etc) the transparency is replaced by a white background.As of yet, there is no fix for this.It runs extremely slowly and keeps losing track of where my plugins are saved.It's got potential if some patches to fix these issues are released.

Paint Shop Pro Just Keeps Getting Better!
I have been a user of Paint Shop Pro since Version 7. Paint Shop Pro Photo X1 has so many new features.I use my Paint Shop Pro XI for making graphics but I also use it for scrapbooking purposes. I love that Corel has a learning center right in the working area. If you don't know something you can see how to use without going into the help menu. It is right in front of you. This makes it easy for someone new to Paint Shop. What it does for Photos is really great. The new editing tools are so easy to use and they make your photos look just great.I love the Skin Smoothing in the retouching tools. I am not young and when I had a close up of my face it looked horrid. When I used the Skin Smoothing adjustment my close-up looked great. I am not afraid of close-up photos no more because I can fix it up. Paint Shop Pro XI is great for touching up photos it is so easy and not complicated.The Time Machine effect is great. There are so many things you can do with your photos with this program. It is easy to learn and it won't cost you a lot of money. I always felt I got my money's worth with Paint Shop Pro. It just keeps getting better and better. I am more than please with this version. I would recommend Paint Shop Pro XI to anyone that wants a good program for their photos and making graphics. ...

They have outdone themselves on this product though, exceeding their previous products in sheer lack of quality. They have greatly stepped up their efforts to make Windows be the worst it can be, successfully making it even worse than their previous operating systems.

I've purchased the latest S&T for the last 4 maybe 5 years and have become somewhat dependent on it for accurate routing whenever I thought we needed directions.In the past, one attribute of the program always annoyed me, namely, the strange text directions.I still read them a couple times, print them, grab a yellow highlighter and select the text that made sense.Then I augment the directions with my own notes in the margin.I could never figure out why msoft needed 5 instructions to tell me to stay on the same route.If you've ever used the product, you know what I mean.With this latest version, that problem/issue still persists but there's something new: errors and wrong directions!!I usually compare "fastest" to "shortest" routes.I have seen numerous cases where I had to trick the software to show me the most correct route.An example would be selecting the wrong direction off an exit of an interstate or even better, routing you in the oppposite direction to get to a road when there is a more direct route.I always update the traffic/highway info everytime.The GPS interface works fine; would be nice to have voices but I really don't miss that feature.Biggest impression: my wife and I have learned to not blindly trust it but rather we challenge every turn and pay very close to what it is telling us as we approach decision points.This year I almost went to Delorme but its reviews were even more disappointing. Probably OK for planning, horrible in the car I have substantial experience with both the Toyota and Honda in-car GPS systems and frankly feel somewhat lost in a car without one. Installation problem I tried install the software into my laptop for 3 hours.the software would find some registry errors in my windows and quits.I was not able to install the software into my computer. ...

47. Adobe Photoshop CS2 by Adobe

Editorial Review It's hard to imagine that Adobe can make Photoshop any better than this. Long considered the professional image-editing standard among graphic digital artists worldwide, Photoshop is certain to cement that reputation even further with the array of new features offered in Adobe PhotoShop CS2. Artists, creative professionals, photographers, and industry professionals will find that the workflow and image customization enhancements will be worth far more than the price of the upgrade.Read more Features CD-ROM Revolutionary Vanishing Point technology lets you clone, paint, and paste elements that automatically match the perspective of the surrounding image area Smart Objects perform nondestructive scaling, rotating, and warping of raster and vector graphics with Smart Objects Multi-image Digital Camera raw file Processing - process multiple images simultaneously, adjusting exposure, shadows, and brightness and contrast -- all while you continue working Image Warp creates packaging mock-ups by wrapping an image around any shape or stretching, curling, and bending an image Multiple layer control for selecting, moving, grouping and transforming objects intuitievly Reviews (48) I'm furious about this! I installed a perfectly legal upgrade of Photoshop CS2.It worked fine for a handful of months, and then it quit.Technical support was of no help.I had to reformat my hard drive and essentially rebuild my entire machine.I am so frustrated about this.I probably spent 100 hours with the data backup, moving data, reformatting, and reinstalling.If I were a small business, I would be out of business.All because this piece of crap program, which I purchased legally, decided to quit.Totally unacceptable! Still the best, but Adobe's taking risks with users' loyalty I concur with the review that points up the problems with Adobe's new "license manager" method of activation. When you pay as much as you do for this app, or the entire suite, you should not be faced with complete lockup should you have hardware problems, or can't connect to the Internet from "location shooting." I took one star off for this egregious marketing tactic. Decent Product / Lousy Company I had an older numbered version of PS, and upgraded to CS in 2004. Unfortunately, the old version, which I bought online, was represented a registerable, but it wasn't. Adobe said they would go ahead and activate it, and they would transfer the registration if I would fax them the information regarding the seller. I was happy to do that, hoping they would bust the creep. Read more
