    Duration of ownership: 1 Days

    Strengths: Mostly reliable

    Weaknesses: Unstable. Had some issues in PSE 7 (when deleting images). PSE 8 seems to have performance issues. No Windows x64 version yet.

    Overall Evaluation: 1. There is no upgrade program (I've been using PSE 5, 6, and 7). I have to buy a full new version every time :( 2. The purchase and download process was painful. Started in Firefox, continued in Chome, tried IE, and then completed download in Firefox. Had to install new version of Java and had to install Adobe Downloader. One of the most frustrating "purchase and download" processes ever! 3. After installing PSE 8, I found that it was frequently slowing down and unresponsive -- it is way slower than PSE 7. I don't know if it's still cataloging/indexing but it told me that it's conversion of my catalog was done. 4. It has a "great new feature" of face recognition. It's implementation sucks. It doesn't even find all the faces in the pictures (even when there's only two); thinks mugs, dresses, etc. are faces; can't recognize a face in another photo that was taken 2 seconds later than the first; ... What good is this upgrade??? 5. Decided that I wanted to report my awful upgrade experience to Adobe. I wasted 15 minutes trying to do that!! I went to multiple places on their website. They obviously do not want any feedback!!! 6. There is no 64-bit version of PSE!! Adobe has it for Lightroom and others. Why can't they do it for PSE?

    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: Improved over previous versions

    Weaknesses: Still not as easy or intuitive as Corel PhotoPaint

    Overall Evaluation: If you want to be held by the hand, Photoshop Elements is a very fine, albeit fussy, program. It's biggest probllem is that is you want to try something that is not preprogrammed into it, it is far from intuitive. With previous versions and this one, I still can't figure out how to implement layers. I've found that PhotoPaint which is part of Corel's excellent CorelDraw package, is a lot more intuitive. While it doesn't hold you hand as well as PhotoShop Elements does, it is a lot easier to use when you need to perform a task that isn't already automated in Photoshop Elements.
