Summary: Buggy organizer
Comment: The organizer has been very buggy and locked up quite a bit on me. Also a lot of problems when using geo coding (mapping) the pictures. Sometimes the location doesn't take when it looks like it did, many times my map locks up and completely bogs the system down. So if you have version 5 and are primarily upgrading to use the organizer I'd wait until they have the bugs out (which I would have thought would be done by now). In fact after lots of frustration I've gone back to version 5 for the organizer.
On the positive side the photo editor is great and a definite improvement over version 5. So I use version 6 for editing and 5 for the organizer (with the hope there will be a patch for the version 6 organizer).
I'm using a new laptop with VISTA and 2GB of RAM.

Summary: Elements 6
Comment: Couldn't be happier with this program, a bit of a problem finding a manual in December because of how new this Version was (no manual included). I'm a first time user of any Photoshop program and must say with a little reading I'm now able to 'clean' up my pictures, clone items, insert text, create images using the Layers portion (easy once you do it a couple times). It also handles 'RAW' images with ease; I would definitely recommend this program to a friend.

Summary: Adobe Photoshop VI
Comment: I was thrilled to get my Adobe Photoshop VI. The price was right and I was looking forward to this upgrade on my photoshop. Photoshop VI gives you more ability to achieve photos with great color plus more!

Summary: PSE6 Upgraded from PSE2 - some features better
Comment: I've been a user of PSE2 for many years, since it came out. Just saw PSE6 at Sam's Club, decided to take a chance. Been using 6.0 for 3 months. I only use the EDIT mode. 6.0 has some benefits over 2.0. I'm not familiar with the differences over post 2.0 versions.
Let me say, generally I'm happy with my purchase, but 2.0 was easier use. Maybe because I was used to it. 6.0 seems to require more clicking to get to where you need to go. More windows and panes to open.
Several new features I like/dislike:
1. jpg compression is better without losing info as quickly as 2.0
2. I like the healing brush, though it leaves a blotchy look on some larger spots.
3. The sharpening tool is a slider in a separate window pane that is a pain to open up; an extra step.
4. The contrast/brightness tool does a better job than 2.0; you can brighten without requiring to add contrast at every adjustment.
5. processing raw files is supposed to be easy, I haven't yet used this
My only gripe is that I wish ADOBE would be consistent with terminology; e.g. in 2.0 you used "batch processing"; in 6.0 you find "process multiple files"
All in all, I'm happy with the purchase, since I only paid $80 for it.
I'm a miser and will have to breakdown someday and buy CS version.
