Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 and Premiere Elements 2.0 Classroom in a Book Collection
This purchase came from Naoke Towne, 4324 E. Villa Theresa Dr., Phoenix AZ 85032-0000.
The inside back cover was supposed to have a DVD-ROM. The envelope containing the DVD had been pulled open. The DVD was missing. There was no indication this would be the case in the description of the purchase.
I am keeping the purchase but I am not happy.
Premiere Rocks 
I have no basis for comparison as I got this software to make a wedding slideshow. I've done my research and read reviews that this is more difficult to learn than other programs.
I've only used a very old version of ULead before, but I must say, this program was able to do whatever I wanted it to do, Ken Burns effects, rotations, pans, zooms, etc. Granted I was forced to learn quickly, after I discovered the concept of keyframes, it was just a matter of manually doing everything the way I wanted it done.
I highly recommend this program for beginners because it provides many of the special effects, transitions, etc. for video production. Once done, you can either author a DVD or export movies into many formats including MPEG-2, AVI, WMP, and autoplay DVDs.
Although it's an Elements version, it packs many powerful features. I haven't had time to read the manuals. But I guess if I did, I would find out more functionality and shortcuts. Good luck deciding!
making DVD slide shows with photoshop elements 4 & premiere 2 
After numerous hours attemting to make DVD slide shows with Photoshop elemnts 4.0 and Premiere 2.0, I have given up for now.It appears that my Windows Xp media center has a problem preventing this particular use of the application to work.
Adobe support was unable to solve the problem without a complete reinstall of Windows.
Otherwise I like Photoshop elements 4.0
A Big Help to Get Started
I have had some experience with Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, but none in Premiere. Photoshop has several new features I had not used previously. The book was great at getting me started on a new project to put together a DVD of our church's high schools grads and their family pictures, along with audio. The book includes a disk containing all the lesson materials, showing how the final product should look prior to walking you through on how to get to that final product. It does not cover all of the features of each program, but is great at getting you started and familiarizing yourself with the program interfaces.

This software bundle is awesome! And I haven't even tried Premiere Elements yet!
