User Reviews for Adobe Adobe Photoshop Elements 6

  Strengths: runs some automated commands such as 'actions' found within Photoshop. Like the Edit, create and Share portion of the application.

  Weaknesses: interface is a bit kindergarten-ish expecially the round startup credit circle. Would have hoped more textures and styles and layer styles would have been created for the application. OR just added a seperate layer style to the the toolbar like within Photoshop.

  Overall Evaluation: I upgraded from version 2 and see really no difference other than the black interface and the ability to import .abr files from Photoshop 7 to CS 3. Loads slower than version 2 even with an external folder for all of my plugins.

  Strengths: Functionality same as version 5: No noticeable improvements.

  Weaknesses: Poor color choice for the workspace. The dark Charcoal grey color is hard coded in the software and cannot be changed by the user. Very hard on eyes.

  Overall Evaluation: The Adobe design team did an injustice to the Organizer and Editor workspace color. The background is a very dark gray charcoal color which makes using the menues and tools very difficult to see. This dark charcoal background cannot be changed and is hard coded into the software according to the tech support team from Adobe. What is also disturbing about the new interface as dark as it is when switching to or from the help system which uses a very light background is very harsh on the eyes. After much discussion with the Adobe support team I was forced to return the product and revert back to my version 5 Elements that has a much more eye appealing user interface background.
