The 5th most popular image editor on Mac OS X

Adobe Photoshop Elements is the consumer version of the Adobe Photoshop raster image editing product, sold at a fraction (roughly 1/6th) of the cost of the professional product or bundled with related hardware such as scanners and digital cameras. Originally introduced alongside Photoshop version 7, Photoshop Elements targets photography enthusiasts and thus lacks many features that make it useful in a proper print production environment. For example, Photoshop Elements cannot export files in the CMYK color mode, supports a simplified color management system, and excludes detailed soft-proofing. It also either eliminates completely or offers simplified versions of some of the more powerful plug-ins, along with a number of features aimed at non-experts (such as removing the red-eye effect or changing the skin tone in a picture). An example of a redesigned feature would be the Variations correction dialog. Some versions can, however, open, edit, and save PDFs.

    I don't quite know what features are "missing"? Maybe you people just don't know how to find them in this cool interface?

    Very great app, with a little thinking you can do everything you want with pictures you want to edit + it helps you organize...

    Absolutely brilliant for those of us who need more flexibility than MS paint, but less flexibility in the wallet. its intuitive, and a great app overall. Although... the interface is quite hideous.... haha.

    A dumbed-down version of the true Photoshop. The fact that it shares the name really gets on my nerves, especially since a good 80% of the features aren't there. It's sad that the only version of Photoshop most people can afford is this one... give us something more to work with. Find a copy of Photoshop 7 instead of this crap... it will be a tad bit more expensive, but the improvement in features is tremendous. Contains all the necessary features of the one and only true Photoshop without the fluff.

    Elements is excellent. I like to use it sometimes for the simpler tasks rather than starting CS4

    pse is pretty good, not as good or feature-packed as its older brother photoshop, but good enough for beginners, and cheap too.

    Poor mans Photoshop.

    If you are an amateur, stick with this. You can do lots of stuff with Elements. With pse 7 you can even use layers.

    Even interface is nicer compared to the Photoshop versions (including CS4)

  • Rye fanatic

    its a cut down version of photoshop but it will still get most jobs done.

    It's so much better pse for a developer than Photoshop (although has icons for kids xD).

    Pretty, but a bit basic compared to some of it's family, will probably switch soon.

    Works well - use it over CS4 for some things such as creating web photo gallery's - they took this feature away in CS4!
