Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Comes close to actual Photoshop in its power; more than enough for a serious amateur

Weaknesses:Crammed with features that you will never learn to master unless you get some actual teaching

Overall Evaluation: I like the charcoal-colored background when in "light table" mode, but beyond that cosmetic change, I don't see any earth-shaking feature upgrade compared to version 5. Still the most full-featured, widely supported and affordable alternative to Photoshop proper.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths: Much simpler user interface (compared to Elements 2.0); guides available to assist you with common image issues (red eye reduction, sharpening, etc.); Magic Extractor function is neat

Weaknesses:Runs more slowly than earlier version; still some complexity associated with certain program functions

Overall Evaluation: I bought Photoshop Elements 2.0 when it first came out and found that it was quite powerful but had a steep learning curve. With Photoshop Elements 6.0, Adobe has greatly simplified many of the program's more common functions to reduce that learning curve significantly. Adobe has really improved the functionality of Photoshop Elements, and I strongly encourage those of you who are still using PE 2.0 (as I was) to pick up this version. You won't be disappointed.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Easy-to-use interface. Intuitive.

Weaknesses:Slow start-up time.

Overall Evaluation: I recently upgraded PC to Vista and, like everyone else, I was surprised to realize that I needed to upgrade all my software. This upgrade was relatively painless, though. This newest version of Photoshop Elements is quite similar to my previous 3.0 version. I am not a photo software expert. I purchased this primarily to enable loading my photos on my iPod. This program does fine in that respect and has more than enough functionality for what I use it for.

Duration of ownership: 10 Days

Strengths: Best photo software in its category

Weaknesses:lacks user manual

Overall Evaluation: It is my first photo software and it seems to have about everything a home user would need and then some. However, since it is not really intuitive a user manual should have been included. Learning curve is quite steep. A separate manual beefs up the price by about 20-30 dollars, depending upon the place of purchase.

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: Good imaging editing options for the money.

Weaknesses:Online help files, some learning curve issues if not familiar with Adobe Photoshop.

Overall Evaluation: If you don't want to spend upwards of $600 for the full Photoshop product, but want some good image editing options, this is probably all you need. Integrates well with my Canon scanner software.

Review:

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6

This sophisticated image editing application adds editing modes that will appeal to beginners, but it doesn't have much new for people upgrading from previous versions.

Many image editing applications claim to offer the power of Adobe Photoshop but at a far friendlier price. Nearly all fail. But in an ironic twist, Adobe's Photoshop Elements 6 adds beginner-focused features that seem very similar to those in one of its main competitors, Corel's Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. Elements 6 has a couple of new features for people who have used the software before, but the main focus of this update seems to be a serious attempt to attract new, novice users--a strategy that rival image editors such as Paint Shop usually pursue. Elements 6 is a better choice for novices than Paint Shop, but if you've used Elements before, you may be disappointed with this version of it.
