 Trade offs July 25, 2008
My main use for Elements is photo correction, mainly red-eye, lighting, cropping, getting rid of some objects. I am by no means an expert user, so take that into account when you read below.
I am actually moving up from version 2.0 to 6.0, so I guess a lot has changed. Since this version was designed for my new Intel Mac, it seems to run faster and be more stable than my old version. However, I am not use to the new layout of the menus and I am not sure if I like them. I also really don't like the red-eye tool as opposed to version 2.0. I was told this was actually changed in 3.0 so some people might not know or care about it. The version I like was sort of like the air brush tool. You could change the size and pressure of the brush, and where you clicked it would sample the area and change that color with the eye color. Allowed for greater control I think. This new one you specify the pupil size and the darkness and just click. It see it either not completely do the job or goes way overboard and flows way outside of the eye.
I don't even know what they call, but that solid gray workspace area where they try to contain the application is very un-Mac like to me. You can get rid of that, but then the remaining bar at the bottom is distracting. They should allow the palette's to float like they used to.
I miss the old quick fixes, especially the fill-flash mode. I am sure I can still do it, probably some other option (adjust lighting perhaps?) or combination there of, but I am not sure why it was removed.
It does support RAW, which I didn't have before so I like that. There are probably a ton of other things that I haven't discovered yet that are good, it will just take some time.
All in all, I am not to thrilled with this version. It might grow on me, but it hasn't yet.

Photoshop Elements 6 Steps Up! July 17, 2008
I did a lot of research before I bought PSE 6. I had been using PSE 3 and was happy with it, but of course, I wanted to upgrade. I had read some negative reviews about the full screen, the lack of undo/redo buttons, the layout colors, PSE 3 compatibility, and such forth. I was a bit worried, but after one use I was in love. The full screen is not an issue because all you do is click below it to get to other windows or files on your desktop. And, you have the CS3 bridge which makes this unnecessary. My only problem with the bridge is that it seems slow and not fully necessary. However, maybe I haven't fully investigated its uses yet. If I want to open another file, I find it just as easy to least PSE and open the file directly than using the bridge. The bridge allows one to open all files from within the PSE program. There are undo-redo buttons! I read about the lack of these several times. I find the layout colors much better on my eyes---I really prefer the darker colors. Every PSE 3 file I had was compatible with PSE 6. I read about an incompatibility issue with tags and catalogues---I am not sure what tags and catalogues are, but all my PSE3 files switched over to PSE 6 without issue. I do a lot of pixel art--I don't actually use PSE for photos too much. PSE 6 upgraded little things--like making it easier to work in tiles or two or more PSE windows at once. I can't think of all the little upgrades--but things that I bugged me in PSE 3 seem to be fixed! My only issue with PSE 6 is that when you choose the eraser for example---I just click the "E"--I often end up with one of the other 3 eraser options than the standard 1 pixel size. If that makes sense. The bottom line is that it is easier in PSE 6 to end up with the wrong tool version especially if you use the keyboard shortcuts. But, this is really a minor issue. All my hesitancies about PSE 6 disappeared upon first use, and I look forward to doing more with PSE 6. Great program. Mac and Adobe did it again!
Windows software for mac July 17, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Yes this product is very capable.To me its just windows software for mac. 2 gb space used plus it scatters files all over your hardrive. if you download the trial version and buy the license later.....good luck on activating it. Just like windows..always problems. When uninstalling it...just like windows again...leaves tons of files and folders everywhere. Plus it adds many color profiles that i wont every use. Uninstalling does not remove them. I do not want windows software on my Mac
Elements 6 Mac - A Great Upgrade June 28, 2008
The software is now more functional and polished than ever. Having migrated from Elements 2 and then 4, this is a fine upgrade which extends the usefulness of the product, and prevents me from having to invest in the full PhotoShop. Best feature for me is the improved photo merge capability - results hardly need to be adjusted in some cases.
