Summary: Things to know before buying
Comment: -Trial software is same as product. Worth the effort to download and use.
-Rebate is VERY limited offer... Read all details.
-Needs fast PC. Read and exceed system requirements!
Pros
-Clean, Intuitive interface
-Can save keywords,caption,rating (metadata) directly in the photo's file.
-Edits IPTC, XMP metadata from main window (not just a dialog box)
-Two-way (photo to text/text to photo) drag and drop tag/keyword assignment.
-Multiple level Keyword(tag) categories
-Excellent Technical Support @ 800-642-3623
Cons:
-Selecting views by file folder is confusing (Show All toggle??)
-Importing fails on some older photos -where competition had no problems.(use trial period to test)
-Keyword categories don't auto-expand during mouse over (helpful in large, complex category lists)
-Keywords in Properties pane don't word wrap in pane, requires horzontal scroll bar (group shots have lots of people keywords)
-No Tag Cloud view for keywords (like Flickr or delicious.com)
-No Autofind/Autofill dropdown list text entry for keywords
-No option to automatically save/synch metadata to photo files (manual only)
-catalog deletions of keywords are not deleted from image file's metadata
-Software slows down significantly when more than 200-300 different keywords are used within the catalog.
I selected this for my mother-in-law, who is a PC Novice and needed an all-in-one (upload-organize-enhance-burn)solution without too many controls. We purchased this mostly for the organizer. There were some issues with initial importing of old files or files in different folders with the same filename. Once imported, it was a breeze to organize and 'tag' 7000+ photos with keywords and captions.
Warning don't use windows explorer to move catalogged photos-Do it within Elements or else:-(
For those with more PC skills, I would highly-suggest Idimager personal edition. It can do everything Adobe Elements can do, but the User interface is not as clean and there are a bazillion options within the User preferences dialog.
