Hi, my name is Thomas Boldt, and I’ve been working with various versions of Photoshop for the last 15 years or so, ever since I got my hands on a copy of Photoshop 5.5 in a school computer lab. Detailed Review of Adobe Photoshop Elements.What I Don’t Like: Preset Graphics Library Needs Modernizing. This is the only issue with an otherwise excellent program! The list of supported devices for direct import is relatively small, but it’s possible to simply copy your files to your computer first in order to get around this problem with the Adobe Photo Downloader.
Photoshop Elements uses the Elements Organizer to manage your photos, and for the most part it’s a good system, but it has some issues when importing from mobile devices. It offers plenty of guided editing tasks and helpful wizards to make even complex editing tasks a breeze for new users, and those who are a bit more experienced with photo editing will find all the tools they need for greater control in Expert mode. A host of third-party books and a sprinkling of Web sites should keep you from needing to resort to paid support, however.Adobe Photoshop Elements is a powerful but easy-to-use photo editor intended for the amateur shutterbug who wants to quickly spruce up their photos and share them with the world. Adobe itself hosts forums, where you can get help from other users, as well as some pricey paid-support options: $39 per single incident or annual subscriptions that start at $159 for a single user or a single product. Its Web site contains tutorials, troubleshooting tips, support announcements, a searchable knowledge base, and even a place to submit feature requests. Inexplicably, however, with both of the same systems, the program worked smoothly and relatively quickly on some days.Īs always, Adobe's support is exemplary.
Though Elements handles raw files, anything exceeding 10MB slowed a fast P4 with 1GB of RAM to a mild crawl, and background thumbnail creation in Organizer brought the interface to knees. For instance, on our primary test system, a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 with 512MB of RAM, it sometimes took 40 seconds before the splash screen even appeared. Unfortunately, Elements can be a memory and CPU hog. Click the image for a visual tour of Elements' interface and features.
