5.0 out of 5 stars Photoshop Elements is Outstanding, March 8, 2004

This software is very well done -- exactly as software should be. The basic features that get you 75% of the way there are completely intuitive, really without using the manual. You can quickly adjust brightness levels of photos, crop, etc.

But behind these simple but powerful starter features are an incredible range of really powerful photo editing tools. I just created an photo party invitation with a picture of our 4 year old and used layers to make it look like the cover of a popular magazine. The help files for the more complex features (texturing, text additions, rotations, etc.) are very clear and easily searched.

This is a "killer app" for photo manipulation, at a great price. I highly recommend it for anyone with a digital camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Both Album and Elements Good!, January 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 Plus Photo [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I disagree with the previous reviewer that said Photoshop Album included in the Photoshop Elements bundle was bad. I am a new digital camera user, and I have been very impressed by both packages in the bundle. Album uses "Tags" which you can attach to your pictures, making it possible to easily sort your pictures by topic, person, date, event, etc. For example, we recently went to the circus, and I imported my pictures to Photoshop Album, and assigned the tags. So, now I can sort out all of the circus pictures from my other pictures, or can sort by date, or by animals, or by family members who went to the circus. With this kind of power, you don't need to worry about where the files are in your directory! Photoshop Album will do some basic editing, and Elements will do advanced editing, and is very helpful in sizing your pictures for printing. I highly recommend both Photoshop Album and Elements. Well worth the money!

4.0 out of 5 stars Elements, Good. Album, Bad., December 27, 2003

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 Plus Photo [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I love the photoshop elements for the features it offers to a casual photo enthusiast like myself. As for Photoshop album that it came bundled with, I can't say the same. I have been a long time ACDsee user and I found Album's file organization structure really awkward to use. ACDsee allows you to see photos as well as other files in their folders and directory trees. If you know how to use Windows, you know how to use ACDsee. Photoshop allows you to see only image files and arranges them in a calendar chronicle order. This is a problem when you need to delete or transfer photographs in between different directory locations. In short, Album might be a good image viewer, but it fails pretty bad when you need to use it for photographs organization. Actually, Album is not as good as ACDsee as a image viewer either because it takes longer to cache and display images. Still loving Photoshop Elements though, just don't pay extra for the album.
