Learn more at Pixelmator. A program called Pixelmator is becoming very popular. If your well off just get PhotoShop. Elements 6 needs just a few more features to make me happy. If you don't need too many bells and whistles, upgrade to the new Apple iLife 09, it's much better at image editing now.
There's even a guided mode for people that don't have a lot of graphics experience.Very pleased, would recommend to my friends. As someone who had a previous version of Photoshop back in the 90's, this version has most of the features of earlier versions, but lacks the ability to cut graphics into web "rollovers." Other than that, this is a fairly complete version of the most often used PS tools. You can work with layers, cut and paste using marquee and lasso tools, crop & resize, etc.
I tried to install on a new MacBook 13 inch Aluminum with Leopard 10.5.7 The instructions are not clear and once you figure out how to install photoshop elements 6 for the Mac, then the installation freezes half way thru. I have owned Mac's with OS X for many years - I have never had an application so difficult to install. I'm sure if I played with it long enough maybe I could get it to work.
Definitely try before buying. It seems to work but it's so glaringly hideous that I can't concentrate on improving my photos. I have no idea.
I figured going x86 native with Elements 6 would speed things up. The ugliness surrounds the whole screen and it constantly expands the useless "Palette Bin" over my photos over and over again. I'm trying really hard to catch up on a backlog of thousands of old vacation photos.
There's not much room left for, you know, editing photos.How does it run compared to Elements 4. It's not what you see in the product screenshots. I didn't last 10 minutes using it.
The new GUI is dark grey on grey with wildly colored trim and vivid cartoony icons.
Finding individual photos couldn't be easier. Having these old photos on disc means some peace of mind in case of disaster. Imagine what I can do once I actually take the time to study. I acquired Photoshop Elements 6 in order to save and improve old family photographs. Even without any training and only a little fooling around, I am very pleased with my results so far.
