Amazon.com Review:
For intermediate digital image enthusiasts who don't need Adobe Photoshop, Adobe's barer-bones Photoshop Elements 2.0 works atop the same engine and provides many of the same tools for a fraction of the price.
Elements' interface is less complex then Photoshop, packaging oft-used quick correction tools in easy-to-access locations. The program gears itself toward the novice user looking to learn more about digital image modification and enhancement. You can also enter keywords into a search field and Elements will offer up related walkthroughs and instructions.
Elements can input images from a variety of sources, including scanners and digital cameras. It's more powerful than the average program bundled with any of these devices, so you can make it your default image editor for either or both. Stills can also be snagged from a variety of video formats, including QuickTime, MPEG, AVI, and Windows Media. Before opening images, you can browse through their thumbnails, which include a preview of the image as well as its size and type.
Inputted images can be enhanced, distorted, corrected, or combined into panoramas through the PhotoMerge stitching tool. The new Selection Brush lets users simply paint over an item they would like to cut or copy. While it still takes a steady hand to select non-straight edges, it's easier than using the standard selection tools such as the rectangular marquee or the lasso. Elements works well as a file manager as well, its new batch processing feature allowing users to make changes to several images at once.
Output options are also expansive, including attaching photos to e-mail messages, printing images, or saving them in a smaller Web format and then uploading them to the Internet. Beyond these typical tools, Elements users can create image slideshows in PDF format that can be viewed on PDAs as well as other PCs.
While there are other image editing programs that sell for the same price, Photoshop Elements brings to the table much of the power of its bigger sibling while making it accessible for the average user. --J. Curtis
Amazon.co.uk Review:
Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 sits between the low-end PhotoDeluxe andthe professional Photoshop 7.0, and is ideal for anyone with a serious interestin digital imaging. It offers particularly good handholding features forbeginners.
With Photoshop Elements, Adobe takes the most widely used parts of Photoshop andtweaks the interface to make these features easier to use. The program isdesigned mainly for retouching digital photographs, but has a number of naturalmedia brushes, too, so you can create your own images from scratch.
The key features of Elements revolve around the amount of assistance offered andthe friendly interface. While there are many more tools available than in, say,PhotoDeluxe, the comprehensive Help system and the Recipe Palette work togetherto provide an easy entrance into common tasks. These include retouching images,preparing them as Web graphics, and sending pictures as e-mail attachments.
New additions to this version start as soon as you choose to open a graphicfile. The file browser now shows thumbnails of all readable files and providesdetails of their types and sizes. To open the file, simply double-click athumbnail.
The Palette Well is a box, set into the Shortcuts bar, that contains fiveseparate, tabbed palettes, for options such as filters and layers. Click on anytab and the palette detaches to float over the work area; click again and itre-docks in the well.
Photoshop Elements now provides an image stitching tool called Photomerge, and amethod for grabbing single frames from common video types, such as MPEG, AVI,WMV, and QuickTime. Improved features for creating Web images include theability to create Web galleries of your photos and automated adjustments, whichcan be used to make photos suitable for Web transmission and display.
Photoshop Elements 2.0 is ideal for the enthusiastic amateur or base-levelprofessional graphic artist who needs to work quickly and easily withphotographic images. --Simon Williams

- Photoshop 2, I have been lost without you..
As I live in New Zealand and it cannot be purchased from you to be sent to New Zealand, I had it sent to a friend in Kentucky. A releative of mine has gone to Kentucky and is going to bring it back for me but I probably won't get it until July. I look forward to receiving it as I have used Photoshop 2 on my old computer for the past 7 years and I have found it to be an excellent proramme to aid me in the art work I do. I unfortunately lost my C.D. of the programme and cannot therefore put it onto ... Read More

- Old version of Adobe Photoshop
We purchased this item to replace a similar lost program that we use in conjunction with our scanner.Older version works well with the scanner so no need to pay more.
Rating: - Quite Satisfactory at a MUCH lower Price
After taking Photoshop class at our local college, I realized how much I would use certain Photoshop tools.Photoshop Elements gives me all of the tools that I would use most frequently, at a MUCH lower cost than for the full program.I use these tools daily.

Ok for beginners I saw a demo of a newer edition (6.0?) it's a little more user friendly in some applications.

- BUYER BEWARE !!NOT ENOUGH INFO ON PRODUCT PAGE !!!!!!
I got this for my MacBook with OS X and Dual-Core Intel Processor.Unfortunately, Elements 2.0 isn't compatible with Macs with Intel processors.This was nowhere in the description of the product, which is odd because Intel processors in Macs are fairly common these days.So, basically I've got great software I bought to use on my MacBook, but instead can only use it on my PC.
I'm leaving a poor rating not because it isn't a quality product, but because buyers are so poorly warned ... Read More
