Summary: Much better than previous versions.
Comment: I have been working with Elements for years. It is not a product I use all the time so it has to be something that I can pickup quickly. After installing I noticed how much better the interface was than with previous versions. It seem to be much easier to navigate around. I imported photos, added keywords and ratings to make it easier to find photos. Going in between the orginizer and editing was much easier. How the new edit GUI's were setup was much easier to work around. I was able to do things in Elements that I would normally have to do in PS CS3. I am not saying at all it is even close to the CS3 level, but the controls and setup was simular enough I was able to do some of the more basic functions and even some advanced with no issues. Since it has been awhile since I had use Elements, I am not sure of the new features, but it just seemed easier to find things than before and also that there were some more CS3 fuctions added. All in all, I really liked the product and would recomend it to anyone. Tested on Windows XP.

Summary: Beautiful product, have to buy the manual seperately
Comment: This is a beautiful product, but you have to buy the manuals and Self-help guides seperately to be able to understand and use the product effectively. So, when pricing this into your budget, build in those little gotchas!

Summary: Memory hog
Comment: This program has many nice features for photo editing. However, sometimes the computer runs out of memory and I am unable to use it. It works poorly with 256K RAM, better but still not good with 768K RAM. We recently installed it on a Vostro with 2 GB RAM. We expect it to work much better with more memory.

Summary: Just what I wanted
Comment: We ordered this since our old version (3 I think?) had problems with our new operating system (Windows Vista). It installed just fine and my husband transferred in all our tags and pictures and it works just like it should. The colors and some set up is new and different. The automatic red eye (option during import into the catalog) does not do a very good job. I prefer to do it with the red eye in the quick fix. (The import pictures dialog box has more choices, like "date picture taken" for one of the file renaming options, and I like that.) The welcome screen is more intuitive than version 3. I'd rate myself as beginner (step above novice) and I would recommend it to anyone who's comfortable experimenting with new software, or already familiar with adobe photoshop previous versions. Good for beginners or more intermediate (maybe up through advanced?) users. For extreme beginners who are looking for simply red eye, cropping, tones (b&w, sepia), and organizing, but no other editing features, I would recommend photoshop album starter edition.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: Excellent product for post processing digital photos but disappointed that Adobe chose Outlook Express/Adobe e-mail only.
