Learning software

I love my editing software (Adobe Premiere Elements) but learning some of its advanced options is taking me forever. The software help area isn't very good, which is typical, and the two books I'm using deal with version 2 and I have version 3, for which books are just now coming out. For example, my latest skill is zooming and panning photographs -- once again, it took several days and lots of trial and error to figure out half-page instructions. I hope I can remember what I did! Here are some results. You can imagine how professional this can look if I do everything right.
