    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.

    Duration of ownership: 30 Days

    Strengths: Powerful editing, organizing,and sharing software, with many of the photo editing capabilities of the much more expensive CS3.

    Weaknesses:none

    Overall Evaluation: I downloaded the 30 day free trial from Adobe to see what I thought of this software. It did not disappoint me. I would highly recommend this software to anyone using a digital camera, and looking to get more out of their photographs. Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 is easy enough for a novice to use, while still being powerful enough for advanced amateurs and budding professionals. I am loving it more everyday. M.S.
