Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0

Advantages: Great selection tools, pan & zoom in slide shows, price, printed manual
Disadvantages: file browser gone

...Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 aims to be everything the photographer wants for tweaking and fixing their images. Whilst the professionals prefer its more expensive big brother Photoshop CS, Photoshop Elements isn't to be sniffed at and offers 80% of the power for 10% of the price whilst making many tasks much easier. The biggest surprise coming from version 3 is that the file browser has gone. Adobe, what are you thinking? Well, it's clear what they're thinking, they want you to use the Photoshop Album interface which merged in to Photoshop Elements with version 3. It's actually a very powerful interface and lets you import and catalogue your images with ease and flexibility but sometimes, you just want to get down and dirty with the file system and the loss of a file browser hurts. As a sort of apology, Adobe have added the ability to...

Elementary Photo-shopping

Advantages: Packed full of features, Great fun, Improve your digital images
Disadvantages: You need memory!!

...~~~~ Overview ~~~~ Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 is a software package used to manipulate and enhance digital images, whether they are from your digital camera, scanned images or pictures from the internet. I mainly use the software to improve the pictures I take with my digital camera; altering the contrast, brightness, colour saturation etc, and also cropping and enlarging images. I also regularly alter pictures for documents and other applications, to make them smaller by compressing the images so they don't take as much disk space up. The program is split into two main functions: ~ Editor: Allows photos and images to be enhanced and edited using a range of different tools. ~ Organiser: Allows your photos and images to be organised using several different methods. ~~~~ Editor ~~~~ The editor is very versatile, offering a whole...

Amazing Photo Editing Program (Adobe Photoshop CS4)

Advantages: Massive amount of features, endless ways to manipulate pictures
Disadvantages: Takes a while to learn how to use it

...Having recently reviewed Quark on here I thought I should also give a review on Photoshop as it is another program that I use on a daily basis. Photoshop is a photo editing program which again as with quark I started when I was 17 (long time ago now) and at college studying Graphic Design, being young and having never used the program before I thought it was amazing, I didn't realize that there where programs out there that could do so much to pictures. How times have changed, this program has been re-released several times since I first started using it and it has come on in leaps and bounds, it is now an even more amazing program which is packed full of features, you can pretty much do anything you like to a picture, it certainly makes me think twice when I see a picture in a newspaper or magazine, you never know what could have been...

Photoshop Elements Drop Dead Lighting techniques

Advantages: Concise yet easy to follow, some impressive looking projects, well presented
Disadvantages: Special effects section, a little light (sic) on explanations

...One thing that often separates an average photo from a great one is the quality of light. Real life rarely serves up the sort of light we'd like (especially in the UK) and so we have to fall back on post processing and editing to tweak things. To the inexperienced user, this can be a bit of a hit and miss affair so I was very pleased to spot a copy of Photoshop Elements Drop Dead Lighting Techniques in the bookshop. The author Barry Huggins runs a multimedia and training consultancy at www.matrixtraining.com and has had his images used around the world so he ought to know a thing or two. The first thing that strikes you is the gorgeous presentation of the book. Ilex Press titles we have seen have always been impressive in this respect with superb quality brilliant white paper, excellent layout and flaps on the thick glossy cover...

Adobe Photoshop 7 - A Review

Advantages: The best photo-editor on the market, new time-saving features.
Disadvantages: Expensive, new version has few new creative tools, not good for home use.

...I've just spent £530 on a piece of software. Surprised? Don't be... You see, I do a fair bit of freelance digital photography and I needed a professional photo-editing program. After trying a few cheaper alternatives, I splashed out on Abode Photoshop 7 with all the trimmings, but I now use it almost every day. For the price, I don’t recommend it for non-professionals, but pros will gain some really handy features on this new, improved version of the Adobe program. The Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Package Here’s what you get for that ridiculously large some of money: Adobe Photoshop 7 – The main program has the same layout as before and all the features you’d expect to find for professional photo-editing are here...

Adobe Photoshop CS2 review

Advantages: The best photo editing/graphic software you can get!
Disadvantages: The application takes time to load + it may take a little time to get used to.

...originally clicked. Since using this product for over 2 years my skills have increasingly developed through my knowledge on how to use the software and using other or famous artists as inspiration. Do not worry though, you may find the product hard to use at first but I assure you the 'Adobe help' function provides more help you need. Technically you can't get lost as it provides help with pretty much everything you need to know!...

My Photoshop is Welsh?

Advantages: Fairly easy to use, and has all the features your likely to need for photo editing. Included tutorials. Technical Support.
Disadvantages: It doesn't always work first time! It isn't wildly fast unless you have a very powerful PC. Closing and saving files is a bit torturous.

...My anticipation was high as I loaded the Adobe Photoshop Elements software. After all, all the reviews had been good, and previous Photoshop software worked like a dream. However, my dreams came crashing down when I tried to run the edit option. I waited... and waited... but my system was stuck fast. The screen was frozen, and according to Task Manager, the software was not responding but was using up all my CPU! I tried everything to fix the problem, including reloading Photoshop, removing anything remotely resembling 'photo software', reinstalling Norton, updating windows XP, resetting my screen refresh rate, and reducing my hardware graphics accelerator. Then after a month of bemoaning this waste of money, I called Adobe....... A very helpful tech support person, talked me through some checks, and then asked something...

Advantages: marvellous picture editing
Disadvantages: user face can be a little scary, because of all the drop down arrows

...now adobe photoshop is something i can indeed write about, this software when i first started to use it, scared the living day lights out of me, i swear id look at and think *oh my god, what've i taken on* honestly first appearance of the userface scared me. first couple of times i struggled to draw a straight line, i was unable to find where all the different tools were, i was slightly confused that if i made a mistake i could only back step once, i couldnt understand why i couldnt save it as a picture to open in the window viewer, i couldnt figure out how i could possibly change the colors from the default black and white, i didnt even know what a filter was, i couldnt under stand the concept of it for weeks, this is when i switched to using good old paint, i knew how to use it, i understood the theory of paint, but i wasnt completly...

... Adobe Photoshop CS3 In my opinion, Photoshop CS3 is a best graphic designing tool for all ages. As a graphic designer, I have lots of experience with my photoshop. It's really easy to use especially you already use the minor photo editors like Gimp, Photoscape and more. Photoshop CS3 helps me to make money by myself it really helps me a lot. Especially this vacation I earned big bucks by graphic designing with my Photoshop. What's inside Photoshop CS3? Photoshop has a lot of excellent features.
