Adobe Photoshop Elements Product Details

Features:

Adobe® Photoshop® Elements software combines power and simplicity so you can make your photos look their best, share them in imaginative ways, and easily find and view all your photos and video clips.

Organize

See all of your photos in one convenient place, and find photos using visual keyword tags and a variety of viewing options. Experience improved performance that helps you find what you need faster, even when your library grows to include thousands of photos.

Categorize by tagging

Easily tag photos with keywords that represent people, places, or events. You can instantly view every photo you've ever taken of your dog, for example, by simply clicking on its tag.

See just the photos you want to see (New)

Focus on just the photos you want to see with new Smart Albums, which automatically bring together photos based on the criteria most important to you. Choose up to 10 search criteria — such as all photos taken with a certain camera, taken since the beginning of the year, and of a particular file size — and then click on your Smart Album to instantly see the matching set of photos.

Edit

Take advantage of options that make it easy for you to edit your photos your way. You can perform one-click fixes, count on step-by-step editing assistance to learn how to improve your photos, or explore advanced options for finer adjustments.

Create the perfect group shot (New)

Never let a frown or a closed pair of eyes ruin a group photo again. New photo-blending technology lets you easily combine the best facial expressions and body language from a series of group shots to create a single, perfect composite.

Count on step-by-step assistance (Enhanced)

Need to touch up a scratch or blemish but not sure how to begin? Photoshop Elements walks you through each editing step to make improving your photos easier than ever.

Create

Show off your photos — and your creativity — in entertaining ways, including photo books, scrapbook pages, slide shows, and more. Count on step-by-step assistance if you're just starting out, or feel free to experiment on your own.

Start creating quickly — no experience necessary (Enhanced)

Get step-by-step assistance for making photo creations like scrapbook pages, cards, and CD/DVD labels. Simply choose the type of creation you'd like to make, and the appropriate tools and instructions appear at your fingertips.

Create exactly the look you envision

Customize all the elements of your chosen layout: Adjust layout colors to better complement your photos; add new graphical elements to enhance or personalize the theme; and add text or effects such as drop shadows and glows.

Share

Once you've perfected your photos and creations, easily share them with family and friends. Display them in eye-catching, interactive web galleries; show them on your TV or mobile devices; and more.

Provide an interactive sharing experience (Enhanced)

Go beyond traditional slide shows by sharing photos in your choice of animated web galleries. Adobe Flash® technology lets family and friends interact with your photos for an entertaining experience.

Share with family and friends using integrated online offerings

I found this product very hard to use. It is not in a format that is easy to read or use the tools. I even purchased a classroom book that goes with the product but it was not much help as well. I would not recommend purchasing this product unless you

This is the most advanced photo editing software I have ever used. The possibilities are almost endless and there are a lot of great features. That being said, it's not for the faint of heart. You might want to pick up a book like "Photoshop
