Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 Review
Adobe Photoshop is the undisputed heavyweight of the imaging software world, but for a lot of photographers, its multitude of features can prove to be a hindrance rather than a help. Enter Photoshop Elements 7, the latest version of Adobe’s best-selling consumer photo-editing software that aims to offer the things that you really need at a fraction of the price of its big brother. With a wallet-friendly price of £65 ex Vat / $99.99, is Elements 7 the right photo editor for these troubled financial times? Jon Canfield takes you on a guided tour of all the new additions.

Sounds like a fine update but don't forget Paint Shop Pro X2 ain't half bad, either!

I recently installed version 6.0 on a new computer with Windows Vista. I am experiencing system freezes when the photo downloader is activated. Is version 7.0 more compatible with Vista? Thanks!

Bought PSE6 last year & install on new Intel Duo system. The very short story - Organizer simply wouldn't work until I learned how to turn OFF one of the Intel Core 2 Duo processors in my system - in other words, I had to cripple my computer in order to run PSE6!
I couldn't believe that a company the size of Adobe could release software that WOULD NOT WORK with amost ALL the CPUs currently on the market. I still can't believe it.
I understand that this "bug" has been fixed and version 7 now works fine with dual processor systems but I'm still so pissed at Adobe that I don't plan to send them any more of my money until I get a money-back guarantee... and I'm certain that isn't going to happen any time soon.

I first started with Element 2.0 and have faithfully upgraded each time, currently at V6.0. But I don't see enough new in 7 from your review to make it worth the $120 that Adobe wants for the upgrade with Photoshop.com Plus membership. The $80 upgrade (w/o Plus membership) seems more reasonable to me, especially since I'm already heavily invested with Flickr.

Thanks for this. I just bought this program so I could resize my pictures for contest submissions and this was a user-friendly explanation of all the other cool bells and whistles.

Just purchased the Elements 7 & Premier Elements 7 package for photo/video editing. I'm new to all of this and overwhelmed. Where is the best place to get help. Adobe knowledgebase is not working for me. Thanks

Can I use Elements 7 to take out specific images from a photo - like people and re-insert them in different positions or add figures to the photo

Does PSE7 have all of the features included in PSE6? I currently have PSE5 running and due to family illness did not upgrade to V6 when it came out. Now I cannot find v6. Would I be missing some feature included in V6 if I jump to PSE7?
Where could I find a tabulated comparison of v6 and7? Thank you for any help.
Good review.

Is it possible to add text to photos in Elements 7 in the same way you can in Photoshop CS4?

Not as much a review as a sales brochure. Has the reviewer even tried out any of the features he so faithfully copied from the Adobe sales literature? This so-called review is simply sales propaganda, plain and simple.
