The latest version of Photoshop
elements includes many new
photo-enhancing options and
guided step-by-step tutorials
that automate image editing and
processing.
Quality and Effectiveness:
Image editing tools in Photoshop
elements 10 operate like their
counterparts in Photoshop. any
photo created or edited by elements 10 can be opened
and edited by Photoshop (and vice versa). but Photoshop
elements 10 has fewer tools and drop down menus than
Photoshop, and its colorful workspace has a friendlier more
inviting interface.
Ease of Use: Installation and setup proceed without a
hitch. three simple options appear at launch: organize or
edit your pictures, or sign in with your adobe id to register
and get access to backup and
sharing services. both the editor
and the organizer user interfaces
have an intuitive look. when
you open a picture in the editor,
three tabbed menus appear at
the right: edit, create, and share.
Top Features: Two integrated
but separate digitalimage applications
work together so that
users can easily edit their digital
pictures; text on a shape or path,
crop guides, new photos effects, and photo-fix tools give
users an excellent tool kit; helpful guided edits and video
tutorials provide step-by-step instructions.
Overall Rating: adobe elements 10 provides ordinary
users with a variety of digital touch-up tools for adjusting a
picture, adding a caption, changing a color, and fixing redeye
while working in a Photoshop-like environment that’s
not overwhelming.
