PScs4 tutorials

[Bravocrew]

I really need some advice! I upgraded to cs4 and am trying to learn how to use it to make my scrapbook pages. I have been using pse5 and it was a breeze to use. My question is: Does anyone know what is the best tutorial learning site or book/cd to use that I can get to learn how to use cs4? I am having a time trying to figure out how to make my first page! I am not feeling very bright at the moment. I would love for some recommendations.

When I first got CS4, I did a short (like 30 day) membership over at Lynda.com They had some awesome video tutorials geared toward a beginner user. They aren't necessarily scrap tuts, but at least they would help you be familiar with the program.

Thanks so much. I will head over there and check it out. I feel like I am starting all over again trying to learn to put a page together. I think I am going to have to study, study, study and play alot!

There is definitely a learning curve. I went from PSE5 to CS2 then CS4. I was so lost when I first switched over, but now it's like second nature. In fact, a friend was asking recently how to do something in PSE, and I tried to open it to walk her thru it. I was so lost in there! LOL!

I switched from PSE5 to CS4 last year adn I gotta tell ya, I HATED CS4 for about a week. It was just completely different. But, I quickly learned and LOOOOOOVE it!

I'd recommend looking at either lynda.com or kelbytraining. They both offer subscription video tutorials and I found them to be much easier than trying to learn from a book.

Big Ditto to what everyone has said. I went from PSE5 to CS4 and yeah, I really hated it for a while because it took me forever to scrap. Now I love it and can't imagine going to PSE.
