 If you have Photoshop Elements 5, no need to upgrade November 1, 2007
298 out of 307 found this review helpful
I only use the Editor in Photoshop, never the Organizer, and my OS is Windows XP SP2. I started with PSE 4, then 5, and now 6, and have found this program to be extremely useful for improving, even renovating, my old slides and photos which I have scanned. But I am sorry to say that 6 does not seem to improve on 5. First of all, the Help button brings up no help at all. Tech support provided a workaround which is to use a shortcut to a file in Common Files. I must admit that the resulting Help file is much better than the Help file in 5. Secondly, the color scheme of the program, which cannot be changed, makes many of the buttons hard to read, especially for my aging eyes. In 5 the buttons were very clear. In 5, if you clicked on L, the shortcut for the Lasso Tool for example, an icon in the Options Bar will be highlighted to show which Lasso Tool you have activated, and the same for other shortcuts for multiple tools. That feature has been eliminated in Photoshop Elements 6 for no good reason.
In all fairness, PSE 6 is about 75% larger than 5, so it probably has some resources that I have not had occasion to use, and probably never will. Adobe's "What's New" for PSE 6 does not indicate anything really sensational in my opinion. My conclusion is that if you already have PSE 5, don't bother to upgrade now, and save your money for a future upgrade. But if you don't have any version of Photoshop Elements at all, then I would highly recommend Photoshop 6 which does offer an almost infinite number of ways to improve your photos.
 If you enjoy trouble then get this software November 1, 2007

I bought this when it was first introduced as an upgrade from PSE5. I installed it on a new HP computer with three gigs of RAM and about 360 available gigs of storage. It constantly locks up when scrolling through the organizer. Freezes on a regular basis. I am back to using PSE5 now because 6 is totally undependable. If you think I'm exagerating then I suggest you go to the photoshop elements users website and read the forums. There are many threads about people having grief with this software. PSE6 was clearly not tested as it should have been and is a money grab by Adobe for Christmas shopping suckers.
Does not convert catalog's from previous versions October 31, 2007

I've been using Adobe PhotoAlbum for 3 years, been very happy. Decided to upgrade and it wouldn't do the catalog conversion. I even tried downloading an earlier version of photoshop elements, and was able to convert to that but not the 6.0 version.
Researched and lots of folks having this same problem. It's a new database structure for 6.0 versus all prevous versions, and seems to be very fragile. I don't understand why they wouldn't do extensive testing with their own previous product lines. I have 15,000 photo's and video's tagged in my catalog, and it's not acceptable that this new version of adobe software can't import correctly the adobe catalogs from software written only 3 years ago.
I put in this issues with their tech team, but have not gotten a response. I am resigned to return to Amazon the PSE 6.0. Maybe I'll buy a 5.0 version instead.

Photoshop Elements 6 is very easy to use. In fact, it is easier to download photos from my camera with Photoshop than using the software that came with the camera.
The program has lots of advanced features as well, but anyone should be able to do simple tasks like downloading photos, cropping, and setting print areas almost immediately.

As of this date, I have not had a chance to use it because I found out that it is not compatible with Kodak Photo Gallery where almost all my photos were downloaded automatically from my digital camera. Hopefully, somebody out there can give me some advice on what to do. I've used the 5.0 Elements at school and it was fun to use.
