 - Great photo editorGreat photo editing software. Does not have all the features of the full version but it doesn't have the full version price either. So far Elements has met my needs. Rating:  - Nice tools but strange behaviorI've been using PSE 5 without difficulty for the graphics of my new book. I had hoped that PSE 6 would have CMYK capability but it doesn't. Fortunately I have been able to work around this by transferring my cover design into MS Publisher and letting it convert to CMYK. But what has really confounded me about PSE 6, which was not a problem at all in PSE 5, was that when I insert (drag-and-drop) my back cover page onto the full cover on the workdesk, it automatically resizes the back cover page to the wrong size - despite the resolutions being the same. I'm sure there must be another way to do this but it all was so simple in PSE 5 and I can't imagine why they would want to make it so complicated in PSE 6. Interestingly, if I use the full Photoshop version CS3, it works exactly like PSE 5. The lack of a help file is also very annoying, but again, others have mentioned a work-around. Bottom line, a few nice features but sufficient anxiety provoking idiosyncrasies that I'd probably recommend to avoid this version until some of these issues are resolved. Marc L. Paulsen, author Dump Your Trainer Rating: - Terrific photo editing toolThis is sophisticated but easy to use photo editing software. Photos can be fixed automatically with one click or painstakingly with histograms. Selection of sections or objects for adjustment, movement or removal is simple and precise. Touch up tools are easy to use and effective. There is a full range of effects. Elements offers 80% of an expert's tool box with a novice's convenience and at a novice's price. Rating:  - Darkroom pastWhat an improvement from the hours and days in the dark room....non-destructive photoshop is the versatile product that I have wanted for some time. Finally coming to the digital age with camera and processing, I can appreciate the package that Elements presents. For my use, it contains most of my needed adjustment for some pretty impressive photo work. I appreciate it's intuitive layout and the control in applying it's adjustments. The non-destructive "negative" preservation is essential. I have used a number of Apple programs, some photo imaging programs and find that this one is most complete. I will probably find that I will need to move up to Photoshop professional, but I find this package is well done for most of my needs. Good value.
