Editorial Reviews: Photoshop is the industry standard for photo editing, hands down. With Photoshop Elements 8 from Adobe, you can get a full-featured version of the best-selling consumer photo-editing software without the sky-high price. This version includes plenty of classic features and a handful of powerful new additions. While you may think Elements would be an under-featured version, don't worry - it has more than enough power for most people's editing needs. It just doesn't have the features used by professional designers and photographers.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: mac version does not have the organizer Comment: I've used Elements since version 3 and have been using the organizer feature that comes along with it. I spent a lot of time using keywords,tags and ratings with my now 90 Gigs of pictures. I switched to a MAC and bought the Elements 8 for the mac. It does not have the organizer and can not import my catalog with all my info. I don't understand how they can make a product and promote features and then cut them out. I am know in the process of getting a refund from Adobe and have made the switch to Aperture. Customer Rating: Summary: Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 [Mac] Comment: This is an update with new features which works as advertised. More of a Macintosh look/feel would be appreciated in future updates. Customer Rating: Summary: Does not work on my 2007 MacBook Pro Comment: I run CS4 at home on my windows machine but wanted something that I could use on the road for my Mac. I purchased Elements 8.0 thinking it was going to be a great, easy to use program for editing pictures quickly from my hotel room...wrong! After I installed the program I was greeted by the familiar Adobe Bridge, no issues. The problems started when I attempted to edit a raw photo in Adobe Raw which is supposed to be included with Elements 8.0. Every time I right click and ask to open Adobe Raw, I get an error saying I need to first open a qualifying product. I did get it to open once however, now I just get the never ending spin of death icon when I attempt to open a raw image and I have to force quit. Second issue, whenever I attempt to open a raw image in Elements I get the same spinning death icon, I waited five minutes at one point for it to open a raw image...no dice and had to force quit. So, I deactivated and re-installed. When I went to re-install I saw that Adobe PSE had somehow eaten 600mb of my hard drive, I had 70GB the first time and 69.4GB during the second installation. I just finished up the re-install and I am having the same problems. I am going to try a fresh version of snow leopard and see if it works. Frustrating to say the least, I thought Macs were supposed to be pain free. My comp specs. MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duo 4GB Ram Customer Rating: Summary: Great features at a good price. Comment: For the casual user like me, it works great and does more than I'll probably ever need. Simple to use quickly, with easy to use features. I can get the results I need and I haven't had to read the first page of instruction. Bridge seems usable, and give a quick way to find the best shots and manage all of them too. Customer Rating: Summary: Caveat Emptor!! Comment: PSE8 for Mac is great for all the reasons covered by the previous reviewers. As a long time PS2 and PSE3 user, I have used these programs to generate stunning art work, which usually begins with my own photos and then utilization of a variety of brushes, plug-ins, styles. I have a hunch there are others 'out there' who have intuitively discovered the grand set of tools available in PS and PSE, who may appreciate the following discoveries (much to my dismay and disappointment) before making any kind of upgrade to this version. The bottom line (and this is after several correspondences with Adobe tech support) is that many of my precious plug-in's (Kai Power Tools and Xaos Terrazzo) DO NOT work with this version!! Also, although brush,shape and gradient files can be added (dropped into the appropriate folders), the styles files CANNOT be added!! Anyone who has worked extensively with styles will know how valuable they are! There is an assortment of 'canned styles' included, but if you go to the preset manager there is no longer even a drop down to select 'styles' as in other versions of PS and PSE!! If any of this is of significance to a reviewer, and helps to avoid making a hasty purchase, then I will feel a little better about my own hasty rush to upgrade. Will I use PSE8? Of course, but I will stay primarily though, with the earlier versions that allow free addition of styles and work with my precious plug-ins! I'm so disappointed, but am learning the hard lesson that newest and latest, isn't always the best choice!!
