Summary: A little disappointed... But I will get over it..
Comment: I purchased Photoshop Elements 5.0 less than many months ago; and was surprised to learn that Adobe's UPGRADE 6.0 edition would cost me another $79.00 - I phoned them directly to indicate my dis-satisfaction in effectively price-fixing the upgrade with no consideration for new Adobe customers. The CS representative was both professional and empathetic but indicated that NO options were available to me. While he (John) was happy to "push me up the chain" he assured me I would receive the same response.
Shame on you Adobe... You should be more considerate of new customers who purchase your products while newer versions are clearly in the window of QA for subsequent release.
I would have preffered to hear- oh you JUST recently purchased our product for the first time; we can offer you the upgrade at a discounted price. Had I known- an upgrade was that soon in the coming; I could have waited.
GREAT Product - but don't really feel the upgrade price vs: features is worth the $79.00 additional dollars; only $20.00 discount off full price. I could wait for Version 7 - though it will probably only cost me more to upgrade then if the features are right.
In addition the option to purchase the "academic" FULL version for only $59.00 is even more dis-heartening. I can appreciate that Adobe is in the busines to make money; but I am using the software in a personal hobby- not corporate or profit situation wherein income is derived from my hobby. In which case- I question the difference between an academic purchase price to joe student and as opposed to joe hobby consumer as opposed to professional photographers making and sustaining a profit based on the value of the product. But -- thats just an opinion.
Just my 2 cents

Summary: Poorly Designed Program that Doesn't Play with Vista
Comment: The program is very badly designed and hence not easy at all to us. For example, while it nicely loads pictures from a card reader, getting to those pictures to work on them is a challenge. Also, I'm constantly getting cryptic messages, such as "trying to reconnect files," whatever that means. The program is very slow. It may that the problem is Vista,which I have; but that's a cop-out, since third-party vendors had plenty of time to modify their software. Imho, Picasa is much,much better -- better designed, intuitive, fast free. Right now the only reason I use Elements is for the occasional RAW files, which Picasa doesn't handle. The bottom line is buying this program is for most people, including in retrospect me, a waste of money.

Summary: Photoshop Elements 6 is a Great product!
Comment: I downloaded this as a 30 trial prior to purchasing it. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered it from Amazon and even paid to have it overnighted so that I wouldn't go without even for a day. I have enjoyed the ease of working with pictures. I purchased a book to learn some of the tricks and that really helped as well. I also added a backdrop package to have even more fun with photos. I highly recommend Photoshop 6.

Summary: Good stuff
Comment: Photoshop elements is a great program for editing and enhancing photos. It is easy to work with although I would recommend a class or two to really enhance your editing skills.
