 great piece of kit! January 8, 2009

My girlfriend is a fashion student therefore Photoshop comes in extremely handy with her work, unfortunately she's not very good at using it. Usually when she needs something done on Photoshop she'll get me to do it...again, unfortunate. The thing is I would have to go all the way to my uni to get my hands on the software which sometimes led to being a wate of my time, especially if it's a 10 minute job that needs to be done....that's why I decided to get Elements for my girlfriends Mac, well actually we both paid for it, but I'll be the one using it. I have some previous experience with Photoshop and I was very happy when installing this to see that it's perfect! Some people complained about it being a PC app on a Mac, so what?! It works great, very easy to use (if you have some experience with it, if you don't then I would suggest buying a help book of some kind. Anyways I wanted to say that this for me is a great App, with plenty of options and tools....today I helped my girlfriend out with her work, if I went into Uni it would have wasted my whole day...with this at home....it took me 30mins tops....brilliant!
A great piece of software December 29, 2008
And
Version 6 is a great piece of software for practically every need... except perhaps for the professional digital artist?
I had considered buying the full version, but I'm glad I didn't as virtually every feature in my work version is here in elements. Admittedly, it does look slightly different from the full version, but other than this I can't really see much difference as it has all the same layering, filter and brush options of the full version. It does take up the full screen as noted in other reviews, but it doesn't cover the dock so it's still easy to toggle between other applications.
I work as a web designer so there's everything in this package to suit my needs, but you should probably check the full spec if you're in another field.
Incidentally, I got hold of version 6 of elements free with a Wacom Bamboo Fun graphic tablet for a little under 60, so there's not much point in buying this software separately. If you're going down this route check the software bundle before purchasing as some tablets come with version 4. Nonetheless, it's a great way to get this software for free!

Photoshop Elements 6 (MAC)
Don't buy this. It's rubbish. PC program trying to run on a MAC. Spend extra and buy Aperture which is a proper MAC program. Let the PC anoraks buy this rubbish and the proper MACs win again.
Good stuff September 26, 2008

I recently bought myself a Macbook, and decided that I needed some quality editing software to go with it. Being a photographer, I opted for Photoshop Elements, as I've heard good reviews about it in the past, and can't afford the full blown Photoshop [ plus, I refuse to download it illegally! ].
So what's this product like? Well, it's a doddle to get onto your Mac. I did it very quickly, and it works absolutely fine. I opened it all up and shoved one of my photographs into the program so I could have a play, and instantly got very confused. To be honest, Photoshop Elements is just a more advanced version of the program I'd used in the past for my work, so I could follow some bits, but I quickly lost it. So many buttons that aren't particularly self explanatory. They took a bit of getting used to, but I'm starting to get the hang of it now.
I think it just needs a bit of practise. You need to sit down and have a good blast; which I unfortunately don't have the time [ or patience ] for.
Good program though!
Great value August 21, 2008

This is great value. I hesitated about purchasing partly because of the reviews, including the ones that say it steals the full screen. If you work in Full Edit mode it does NOT do this (or not on my MacBook at any rate) - the desktop is visible and accessible at the bottom of the screen behind the dock.
I also wondered whether I might end up paying nearly 100 for something that was not a lot better than iPhoto but much less functional than full Photoshop. In actual fact it is a significant advance on iPhoto for image manipulation and does everything I want just as well as the full version would.
The only downside I have encountered is that it is not intuitive to use and the included documentation is poor. To be fair, Adobe do recommend that you use their website Help, but I'd recommend anyone who does not have Photoshop experience to also purchase Barbara Brundage's "Photoshop elements 6 for Mac The Missing Manual".
