Pros: Comprehensive features. Relatively easy to use. Very good output options. ....Cons: Dodge tool is weak. Multiple modules and corrective interfaces may be confusing to beginners. ...Bottom Line: The photo editor of choice for photo editors who run Windows. ...For users who want the ability to enhance their images significantly, Photoshop Elements offers comprehensive image-editing features, with superior ease of use and very good output options. Mac users will want to stick with the brilliant iPhoto '08, but, short of upgrading to the full Photoshop CS3, there's no better consumer-level photo-editing and management program available for the PC.
