Over the years I've used Elements 2 and 4 (still have 4 on my laptop actually) and they have served me well. If you want in depth editing, then this won't really be the product you want, and if you have £600 floating about I'd highly recommend going down the Photoshop CS route.
This being said, Elements 8 is absolutely fantastic. The interface took me a few minutes to get used to (which in itself is good as a new product normally requires hours of rummaging around) and the 3 settings you have at a click makes editing photos an absolute snap. The guided mode is the best for immediate no frills editing, which is probably what you'll use most if you are using a decent and properly set up dSLR, as you'll generally only need simple dust removal, flares, etc cleaning up.
For this money, I'd say BUY IT NOW.
Excellent product delivered next day on normal p&p rates. Bravo Amazon! You will find this product performs much better if your PC has at least 1GB of RAM and a Pentium processor, I would reccommend 2GB or more RAM. The Organiser is difficult to take control of but percevere and you will reap the rewards. The Edit suite is excellent and the new Photo Merge utility gives you HD results under a different name.
Having used a simpler photo editting program, this is brilliant. It allows easy editting and allows some errors in camera to be corrected. Adobe Camera Raw is very useful, especially the fill light function for back lit shots.
I've been using Elements 3 for years but with a new computer I thought it was time I upgraded. Other reviews stated that the software was not fully compatible with Windows 7 64 bit so I first downloaded the trial version from Adobe. I found no problems whatsover so purchased the full package. I use Nikon Capture NX 2 for raw processing so only use the editor for cloning and perspective control, however, in my opinion, the organizer is the best on the market. I find the stacking feature especially useful and the fact that when you click on an image you can tell immediately from the properties tab where on the hard drive that image is stored.
With a copy of Photoshop made easy and this exellent image editing software i am having a great time with my images its abit daunting when you first use it [because i am a rank beginer at editing] keep using it and things become more clear'i am now shooting in raw format as before ikept away from it thinking it was beyond me'but the camera raw editor within elements is so effective and easy to use i am now getting the best from my camera' no wonder this software has had such rave reviews
This is an upgrade for a previous version I had.
Fabulous new appearance and it does everything
- although I am still on the quite steep learning
curve and haven't discovered everything it can do
yet. However so far it has done all the things
I've tried, and excellently. I have no doubt
that I shall appreciate it more and more as I
get used to it!
Having just completed a short course on digital photography, I realised I needed a tool to process my photos - I tried the GIMP (Open Source equivalent to Photoshop), but it was just too complex - so I looked at Elements 8Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 (PC DVD).
Encouraged by the other reviews on Amazon, I bought it and I think it's just great. Easy to use, but capable of doing very complex things. Excellent value for money. I later bought a very good book on how to make full use of the capabilities of Elements 8 Photoshop Elements 8 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
This version of photoshop is a dream to use. their help pages will tell you how to do the things that you want to do I am sure, they are very extensive. I have just upgraded from PSE 5 and if you cant afford photoshop CS4, I would reckon PSE8 is the next best. If you are using PSE7 there is not much difference.
Used Photoshop, not mine, for many years first time I have bought one. Have and have used many good photo programs but this is the best and terrific value. All these programs need use to get the best from them but this seems more user-friendly. I fancy myself has being a good judge of a photograph, I have taught Photography and judged many photographic exhibitions, but the auto enhance in Photoshop 8 is bearly as good as me!
This is an amazing package. I bought it with 2 books at a really good price.
Once you start to get the hang of it it opens so many doors for your pictures.
The quality of the printing it offers is great too.
This really is a great thing to have if you want to get the most from your photos.
