5 Hours of Free Tutorials for Photoshop/Premiere Elements 7 and 8

Watch Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and 7 Free Tutorials

[UPDATEElements 11 is out!  Get free tutorials for the new version.]

We’ve previously covered 17 hours of free video tutorials for Creative Suite 5, plus three hours for Lightroom 3 – so here’s a chance for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements… Below the experts share how to get started, the basics of the programs, new features, plus their favorite tips and techniques. Most of the lessons will work for either version 8 or 7. All together there is five hours of free content, spanning over 50 chapters.

The majority of the videos were produced by Lynda.com, which is another excellent source of online tutorials (some free, some paid), and just released a new app for software training on the iPhone.

If you need a copy of either Elements product for your work, just download a free trial.

    • Sorry Marion, this post was written 7 years ago when Elements 8 was released; now Elements 15 is the current version…

      Adobe changed the content on their website and removed the old/original tutorials mentioned in this article, and replaced them with training segments for the newer version – sorry about that.

  1. I have wasted over two hours looking for videos to learn how to use Photo Shop Elements 8. I have been to the ADOBE website, googled, tried YOUTUBE etc to no avail.

    When I came across the link to the free tutorials I was so pleased…BUT…
    Then I found there was no ‘pot of gold’ at the end of the rainbow…just another link to ADOBE.

    I am very disappointed to say the least. I have an older product and can’t receive help in using it.

    • Sorry. That product is like a dozen years old. Hard to find still-working content for it. Adobe took it down years ago.

      Your two hours might have been better spent on a more recent version, if you can swing it. It is supported and runs on modern operating systems.
