element 7, November 16, 2009
Elements - Resources, November 1, 2009I was awed by what Elements could do from what I learned in a class at my local community center: Reconstitute "greening" old color snapshots; repair scanned images of old family photos; the magic wand to… outline areas to be changed; creating brochures and scrapbooking with layering tools; ease of adding and positioning text in photos. What I should have done was to look at the system requirements before I purchased the product: a 2 ghz processor and 1 GB ram. I had to add additional ram to my XP machine which doubled the price, but Elements Version 7 was half price anyway because Elements Version 8 has been released. One needs a book to be able to use all the features and special keyboard strokes. A local library is a good source. A free program - [...] has many of the features of Photoshop Elements but is not as "robust".
A good choose, October 23, 2009A Terrific Program, October 23, 2009Be careful of this program, October 20, 2009I could not get this program to open after installation. I followed all "read me" suggestions and nothing worked. I sent the program back and got another one. Still would not open after installation. Called… Adobe Tech Support. After waiting 1/2 hour and spending 75 minutes on the phone with someone I could not understand half the time, it still would not open and Tech Support hung up on me. I will be sending this back. I cannot review the actual program because it would not work on my brand new computer.

This preview of Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 (beta) doesn't rate it, but praises the additional features (including some web and mobile integration) and says it's still quick and easy to use. Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, which is the current version for Mac users, won the Editors' Choice award here, and this review says it's worth upgrading (for Windows users) to version 7.

Reviewing the beta version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 7, Cullen "finds much to like," noting new web integration and the addition of other useful features. An earlier comparison review at this site compares Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 (still current for Mac users) with Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, finding Elements better for beginners.
Review: Adobe Photoshop Elements 7, Kathleen Cullen, Aug 26, 2008
This enthusiastic review praises the features in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac, but doesn't compare it with any other software except Adobe's pro-level Photoshop CS3. The reviewer recommends it for any nonprofessional photographer, since it's powerful yet easy to use.

Review: Photoshop Elements 7: First Look, Debbie Grossman, Oct. 2008
Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 wins top ranking compared with 12 other photo-editing software programs for beginners and intermediate users. The comparison chart is inaccurate, though, since Elements 7 does include layer masks.

Over 90 owner-written reviews give Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 a reasonably high average score -- the same as the earlier Elements 6 -- with about two-thirds positive. Most of the complaints cite slow speed and annoyance at the frequent upgrades; not everyone finds it easy to use.
