Abstract: After working with the program extensively in both Windows and Mac platforms, I have to say that for serious photo enthusiasts I can recommend Elements 8, even if they have Photoshop CS2 or 3. It does the job as well and provides more learning support ...
Keywording is much easier and comprehensive, Organizer can now import, sort, and keyword video
New tutorials, templates only in $40 Plus plan, PhotoMerge manual exposure tool requires finesse
Photoshop Elements 8 is an appealing but evolutionary upgrade of a mature, well-established photo editing program, with greatly improved file and keyword handling. ...
Abstract: Not everyone who’s getting serious about image editing wants to spend $700 on software, at least not right away. That’s where Adobe’s $100 Photoshop Elements steps in. Still the best place for beginners to start, it will help you learn Photoshop basics...
