Reviews
I already knew a lot of what Elements 4 will o and do not dislike the program. However, when I tried to learn how to do the very thing for which I purchased the book, it totally failed me. I wanted to silhouette a ragged circle without background and place it on a new background and the menu illustrated in the book never appeared. A different one did and this on two different computers containing Elements 4. I wasted hours and never got a solution. The instructions lack follow-through. They show how to do something and then don't tell you how to apply it.
