Summary: excellent value
Comment: This is an excellent value for anyone wanting to learn photoshop without buying the whole package. It is also good training for other graphic packages to learn the ins and outs of the toolbars and palettes.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too much work
Comment: Photoshop Elements 6 is undoubtedly a comprehensive photo editing program. The problem is that, even with an aftermarket manual, the learning curve is too steep. The program uses an arcane vocabulary, naming tools and features in ways that may have meaning to some graphics specialists, but not to ordinary consumers. I believe people who don't mind spending a lot of time learning a new program, who don't mind sitting in front of the computer for hours, will also enjoy the challenge of learning Elements 6. For me, it was overkill. I'd rather be out shooting pictures. The program undoubtedly is comprehensive and you can do amazing things with it, but it requires a major commitment and is just too user unfriendly for my tastes.

Summary: Great upgrade
Comment: Just purchased a copy of Photoshop Elements V 6. I have used Elements since version 3. This is a great improvement. I work in raw format on Nikon, Canon and Olympus and have found no problem. I do not care for the black back ground. It will do many of the things found in Photoshop CS. You are limited to only "Photoshop Elements 6 the Missing Manual for Mac" as a manual. Others may follow. You can also download the manual from Adobe. A great value compared to other programs, (Bibble, Aperture, iPhoto and LightZone.

Summary: best out there but could be better
Comment: maybe i'm just slow but you have to put in the time to learn how to use the program. it's not as intuitive as i expected. i have used photoshop in the past and i could not select, move, and replace things as easily as i expected. for example if i wanted to cut out a section of one photo and replace it with something from another photo it took several steps. once you put in the time, the program works well, but to get things perfect you have to tinker. i would give it 3 stars except there is no program that works this well for the money so i give it 4 stars. it's a good deal. some of the "extra" programs that come with it, like the "bridge", i found unnecessary and just take up space on my hard drive. overall i recommend this program.

Summary: Thumbs Up
Comment: Photoshop Elements retains Adobe's penchant for doing things a little differently. For example, every other Mac program I own uses Command-H for the Hide command. On the other hand, none of my Adobe products comply with this standard. Other than the need to adjust to Adobe's quirks, Elements 6 is a heck of program for less than $100. In particular, the merge assistant makes it extremely easy to merge two or more photos together to make a composite that looks as good as the best elements of the originals. Elements 6 is way beyond iPhoto '08, but just a little under Photoshop, which retails for a jaw-dropping $649. For the advanced amateur, Elements is hard to beat.
