 A terrific program. June 9, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I starting using the full version of Photoshop in the late 90s, mainly for my website. It was getting older and older, but I didn't have money to update it, so I tried Photoshop Elements 2. I was kind of shocked, it had absolutely everything I had ever used in the professional Photoshop, plus it had a lot more fun features, was much easier to use, and of course, very cheap (comparatively). I used Version 2 until the new Mac OS Leopard came out last year, at which point I found out that it was one of those few programs that wouldn't work any more in Leopard and Adobe wasn't offering any upgrades. I was kind of screwed, but when version 6 came out, I bought it. I'm not mad any more because Elements 6 is terrific and worth the money. I probably wouldn't have bought it and I'm so glad I did. I also bought the new version of Scott Kerby's Photoshop Elements book for Digital Photographers (I had #2). I highly recommend it.
The one thing I have always used Elements for is compressing photos for the web or for emailing. Definitely check that feature out if you haven't already.
I just got married and have spent the last weeks making amazing alterations in photos. I have put people who took photos into the shots they took. I took out wrinkles, fixed red eye, etc. In general I just made all the pictures look better, even the ones taken by professionals. And then when I was done, I used the batch function to compress hundreds of photos so they were all under one megabyte (I had some 35 meg shots in there!). All this stuff is so easy to do if you have the book. The thing I like about the book is that you don't have to really learn the program, you just go to the chapter that tells you what you want to do. It doesn't assume that you learned stuff in previous chapters.
Glad to get a stable Elements after years stuck with 3 June 7, 2008

I might be atypical in that I tend to use Elements for small scale graphic art: business cards, software icons, etc., and not for its photo editing functions. For this is it is adequate, using the various built in shapes combined with the various bevels, shadows, patterns, textures, gradients, etc. Not as good, perhaps has a full fledged vectored drawing program, but good enough for my purposes. These functions haven't been noticeably improved with this release.
What has improved is the product is usably stable on my Intel based MacBook running OS X 10.5.3., I had lost this stability over the years since the last major update to Elements, and I am glad to have it back. Not perfectly stable, but pretty good.
Also, I noticed that there are a series of video podcasts available in the tech podcast section of iTunes devoted to some cool techniques you can use with this version of Elements. Highly recommended.

This is the best version of Elements. I tried older versions and did not make much use of them because of the difficulty using them. I highly reccommend Elements.
Very Pleased June 3, 2008

I have used Photoshop (the full version) in the past but didn't use half of what it was designed for so I decided to give Elements a try. I downloaded the demo before I purchased just to be sure that it would have the functions I needed. I have been very pleased! It is easy to use and has a lot of functionality. I am able to do all the things that I did in the larger version of Photoshop but without the expense. As an artist, I use the filters more than anything else and was thrilled to see that all the same filters are available to me with Elements. If you find Photoshop daunting but want to edit photographs, apply filters to them, and have more functionality than iPhoto, give Elements and try. Oh yeah, it was cheaper by at least $10.00 to order through Amazon.com and I received free shipping. How can you go wrong with that?
 Adobe has forgotten about the mac June 2, 2008

I cannot recommend this product due to these reasons:
- It takes over your entire primary screen with no option to resize.
- If you have a dual monitor setup like I have, there is no way to move the app to your second monitor
- Clicking on the desktop on the second monitor or in fact in any other application causes Elements to hide itself on the primary (this is awful behaviour for a desktop application)
- Use keyboard shortcuts to move around in Spaces... come back to the space with Elements.. and guess what, it has disappeared.
These may not sound like much, but when you're used to operating in multiple applications in multiple windows, this behaviour is extremely detrimental to productivity not to mention highly infuriating.
