So far so good ...
So far I do like this guide book. It's simple to read and has great examples. I really like the CD that comes with it. Very helpful. I would recommend it to anyone who purchases the ProShow software.
Disapointment
This long overdue ProShow guide was a big disapointment. The author has a bad habit of interupting the lessons by putting the glossary in the middle of the lesson(ex pg 20-23). Being used to the Adobe Elements books and the intuitive way the lessons are written, this book is very difficult to follow as there is no coherant lesson plan. There is also a problem in opening some of the lesson materials from the supplied CD. Lastly, the book lumps ProShow Gold $69.95) with the more expensive ProShow Producer ($249.95) and really pushes Producer. I would not recommend this book as a guide to ProShow Gold. The author should take a lesson from the Adobe Photoshop Elements books.
A for the effort, but the Book need some help
I have been using Proshow Producer for sometime, and was prodding Photodex to write a book, I have to say that I think what happened with this book is in the quality control dept. Its like there was none, and it is very evident with spelling errors, poor illustrations, unfinished illustrations, and words that only an experienced user in ProShow Producer would recognize. I do applaud James Karney for writing it, maybe on the next edition all of the errors will be straightened out. The Program ProShow Gold, and Producer remain an outstanding tool for video slide shows
Great instructional material for Photoshop work
We are always looking for new tricks and techniques for our amature photo presentations. This book is very helpful.
A Showcase for ProShow Producer!
While being a good guide through a terrific program, it caters to the top of the line Producer version. It's very useful for the Gold version but in many instances the distinctions and capabilities of Gold are lost in the Producer edition.
Excellent!
