 LATEST IS NOT THE BEST November 15, 2007
44 out of 49 found this review helpful
If you plan on getting Photoshop Elements, do yourself a favor and go for version 4 or 5. The latest version is so full of bugs you will need an exterminator to get rid of them. And if your computer is not a very recent model your problems will be compounded.
Elements is a pretty good photo organizer and basic photo editor. The module that selects faces to be labeled (tagged) makes a boring chore quick and easy. The editing module is a bit slow but performs quite well.
You can file your photos any way you wish and still keep track of your entire collection.
BUT version 6 has a long way to go before it's worth its money. Other reviews say that version 6 was brought out prematurely to cash in on the Christmas shopping rush and I agree with them. The new features which Adobe promotes for version 6 would be nice to have but just not worth the trouble of wrestling with the program.
I have erased version 6 from my computer and gone back to version 4
and I am a lot happier but about eighty bucks poorer.
 An improvement over Version 5 November 15, 2007
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
I have used Elements from Version 4 to Version 5 - and now to Version 6. I was very happy with the performance of Version 5 and was reluctant to purchase Version 6, as it read like an evolution in the program - as compared to a revolution. There were some items that got my attention - and, as it turns out, these made the purchase worthwhile. The Organizer flows more quickly and looks better than that of Version 5. I've tried the 'guided fix' process - but have returned to going directly to the 'full' edit process as I am comfortable working in that space. Still - the guided approach will be a drastic improvement to the Version 5 'quick' fix and less intimidating than the 'full' edit approach.
If you already use the 'full' edit - then there are some enhancements but probably not enough to warrant spending the bucks for the upgrade. If you use the 'quick' approach and are uncomfortable with the 'full' edit approach - this version will help you in the process.
Evolution - not - Revolution

Had good luck instaling the program - no problems. Easy to transition from PSE 3. Has an undo button contrary to some reviews that I read. Highly recommend.
Photoshop Elements Keeps Getting Better! November 5, 2007

I can't advise on Vista compatibility, since I run XP. Also, it's a personal choice as to whether or not to upgrade from a previous version of Photoshop Elements. With these caveats out of the way, I'll say that Photoshop Elements 6 is the best version of Elements I've used and is a good improvement over Photoshop Elements 5 (which was a marginal improvement over Photoshop Elements 4). Since I teach Photoshop Elements on cruise ships I have to keep up with the latest version, and break it apart as I update and build new lessons. While versions 4 and 5 were great programs, Photoshop Elements 6 is an outstanding program. Just discussing the improvements in the Edit area: (1) Photomerge now has three features that work magnificently. Previously, Photomerge only had a Panorama. Adobe has drastically improved Photomerge Panorama and has added Photomerge Group Shot and Photomerge Faces to the menu. Photomerge Group Shot allows you to move people between photos (someone blinks or is looking the other way when a photo is taken) and works really well. Photomerge Faces lets you move facial features between photos (I'm still in trouble for putting a beard onto a photo of a friend's wife); (2) Quick Selection Tool, that replaced the previous Magic Selection Brush Tool, has become my favorite selection tool. It's fast and accurate, and a lot easier for new users to use than many of the other tools, such as the Magnetic Lasso Tool; (3) Clone Stamp Tool Overlay is a handy new option for use with the Clone Stamp Tool, and Elements has a Refine Edge Option that works well with the Quick Selection Tool, Lasso Tool, and Polygonal Lasso Tool. There are other improvements as well, and Adobe has retained the other useful features that worked well in Elements 4 & 5 (Straighten Tool and Magic Extractor to name just two). The one update in Elements 6 that I don't like is they removed the zoom in and out when scrolling the mouse wheel. My other critcism goes back to Elements 5 and is that to build and print a calender you have to send it off and pay for it. The one great feature in Elements 4 was that you could build calendars and print them out yourself (saving $20 per calendar), which is the one reason I'll also keep Elements 4 on my PC. Photoshop Elements 6 is well worth buying!
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 - it's AWESOME November 4, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I started with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 and have purchased the newer version every time it came out. I also have Photoshop CS but I find myself using the Elements everytime instead. Elements 6 is layed out in a manner that doesn't get overwhelming and their website has great tutorials - free. I highly reccomed this product and will be in line to purchase version 7 when it comes out.
