 A Photographer's Dream! August 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is by far the best purchase I've made this year. Apart from the lengthy but not too complicated installation, this is a perfect piece of photo editing software for Digital Photographers and people of a creative nature. I use this program on my Macbook with not to much difficulty at all. It did use a lot of the resources on my laptop when I had a 1G memory but after I upgraded my memory (which was in my plans anyway) to 2G it worked even better. It does say in the box that for optimum use, it needs 1G of memory so don't try running anything else at the same time. I've used CS3 and there are probably 90% of the features on this program. Unless you are a serious professional (e.g. High end sports or nature photographer) then I really would advise you save your money and get this. I'm a semi pro photographer who has sold a quite a few pics and this works perfect! One other slight downside is Adobe's lack of putting a manual in the box. I have bought this manual Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: The Missing Manual and it is the best manual on the market at a great price! Easy to use, in depth explanations. So if you buy this program then I seriously advise this book too!

loads of special effects etc, but it slows your computer down big time, also their semms to be no facility to delete photos & no explanation on how to do it, very complicated.

I'm running this on Mac OS X (leopard) - sure it installs itself and then does nothing. If you are accustomed to the intuitive nature of Mac applications...you won't find it here. This is your worst nightmare...a Windows app running on your Mac.
It is unable to pull files from iPhoto which means (as far as I can see) you have to convert to jpg and export them to your desk top to use them. More data loss! An attempt to do access you iPhoto file generates an error message (the first I've seen on my Mac!). This also means that the vaunted organisation features of this software are useless. The online help? That's for Windows users....not a word about Mac. Search for "iPhoto" via online help and no results are found. There is nothing in the provided "Getting Started Guide" (this is more a brochure of features than any useful how to guide) about the Mac integration or iPhoto. If you are thinking...."this Adobe Photoshop software is going to be really complicate to use..." then you are spot on! It's useless.
Great!.But one small bug. May 17, 2008

Having used P/shop CS on my laptop for a couple of years i was reluctant to buy what thought was a cut down version for my iMac.I wasn't disappointed.
Apart from the lack of quick mask(which may be hiding in there somewhere),and a slight glitch in the display when re-sizing certain files,it's near perfect for the digital photographer.Even the sharpen filter has improved hugely.
For the price,there's nothing else comes close.
Well done Adobe!.
Most of the functionality of Photoshop. Messy installation and non-standard interface April 11, 2008

When you compare the price of Elements to that of the full Photoshop, you have to conclude that Elements is excellent value for money. Elements must have around 80% of the functionality of Photoshop for about a tenth of the price.
What you don't get are layer masks, channels, paths, colour range selection, and CMYK colour mode. However, Elements has a great set of tools for correcting colour and tone (including adjustment layers), and all the filters, brushes and selection tools that you expect. It comes with Adobe Camera Raw, which is excellent, as are the options for converting to black and white, correcting camera distortion, and previewing changes to selections. Elements supports a large range of file formats and is compatible with files made in Photoshop.
I do have some complaints - not about the features, but rather the installation and interface. Elements uses an installer which installs applications and creates folders without giving you any choice. For example, Adobe Stock Photos installs even though Adobe has discontinued this service; you have to download an uninstaller to get rid of it. My other complaint is, instead of running in a window that you can move and resize like other Mac applications, Elements fills your screen and is fixed in place. Neither am I keen on docking palettes into bins - it seems to leave less room for your images.
Elements falls short of the elegance of my other Mac applications, but has an excellent set of features.
