Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 review

How to get organised in CS4?

I am attracted by the organising ability of Elements, but it seems ridiculously wasteful to buy it when I already have CS4. What is the best way to add the file benefits of Elements without buying a largely un-needed programme?

Rip-off Prices

How is it that Adobe charge around £5 more for the downloadable version of the upgrade than the boxed one? Surely no packaging, DVD or postage should be cheaper? I don't understand their pricing model.

ADOBE PE 8 PRINT COCKUP

The loss of the ability to rotate and move a print on the page in the print dialogue box prior to printing (instead of being locked in a blue rectangle)is a REAL cockup, Adobe advise they are `working on an update`, until then, PE8 has lost its flexibility and useability,and,in my view,is now not the `leading photo editing package`!! What a cockup!

NO GO

What a disappointment! One simple but in my opinion purely basic and necessary function is not found in PSE8. The ability to print a photo in any size on any position on a sheet of paper. This has been confirmed by Adobe. The recommendation was buying the full PS!

TRY the Incredible Freeware and far better GIMP - http://www.gimp.org/
You'll hate yourself for buying PSE!
