Default CS4 Scrapping Instruction Book

Does anyone know a good book to teach me how to scrapbook using CS4? I bought Scott Kelby's but it is primarily for working with photos. I use Elements 6 & I CANNOT figure out CS4 for scrapping.

I have been taking an online PS course that is based in CS4, but I have CS3 and I haven't noticed many differences.

I learned how to scrapbook with my CS3 through all of Cassie's great tutorials. She points out how to do things with PS vs Elements.

Hope that helps =)

Cassie's tutorials are fantastic for learning scrapping on PS CS. I've learned so much from them!
Also, some of the scrapping mags have tips, but they aren't as useful as Cassie's

I have never seen anything as detailed and step by step as Cassie's tutorials. I think they are the best way to get acquainted with the different tools in your software plus learn short cuts for using the tools and cool techniques like blending, drop shadows, extracting, etc.

Ditto what the others are saying. I found Cassie's tutorials great for making the switch because they not only teach the techniques but because she has for both PSE & CS, I could easily learn the differences between how I had been doing things and what I needed to do now in CS. Like instead of Command/Control-G to clip, it is now Command/Control+Alt-G in CS.. Command/Control-G will just group things in CS not clip them.

When I bought CS4, I've got free month of tutorials on linda.com amazing site to learn anything, it's not free otherwise, but if you need good site with tutorials for CS4, CS3 and Elements try: Russell Brown, that guy is so good on explanations, he makes learning FUN, and you can refer to it over and over again... I have it for a bookmark.
