The new Elements 5 upgrade seems to be mostly consumer-oriented features as far as I can see, stuff like scrap book style layouts and mapping (as you might expect).

They have added some editing functionality, not sure of the detail as info is patchy right now at the Adobe Site
Make good photos great with superior editing tools. Fine-tune color, brightness, and exposure using new color curves adjustments; create rich black-and-white conversions; easily correct camera lens distortions; and sharpen blurred edges.


Personally I will be looking out for reviews before upgrading, and even then there will need to be something very compelling!

Technorati Tags: , , , , , , ]]> Photoshop Elements users might be interested to hear Adobe has upgraded their product. Not wanting to spend the kind of money required for the full CS package I bought Elements 4 and have been reasonably happy with it so far. I had to patch it up to be able to use layer masks in elements, after that it does everything I need I think. The new Elements 5 upgrade seems to be mostly consumer-oriented features as far as I can see, stuff like scrap book style layouts and mapping (as you might expect).

Search no longer! Get yourself over to Elements Tools

Follow the instructions and you will soon find several features missing in elements and wonder why Adobe dropped them when the package can clearly do it ...


Technorati Tags: , , , , , , ]]> When I first bought Elements it was after having used the full Photoshop package for a few years. I was assured by whoever I asked that the major features were present. And they are, to a point. It is only when you try to do something and search the help and nearly throw your mouse through the window that you realise that the few important missing bits are really important!
