Adobe – They’re Back!
American computer software company, Adobe is ready to unveil its newest photo/video editing products; Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements, the latter of which is for Windows users only – sorry Mac! While this newest version is ready for the masses, there unfortunately are no bells or whistles attributed to this newest offering from Adobe. Its seemingly only difference from past versions (Adobe’s up to version 8 now) is that it allows a user to automatically operate, or “synchronize” the software on numerous computers at the same time. Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements allows streamlining all at one time of your .pdf files, pictures, favorite videos, music, etc.
Bundle up the two for just under $150.00 or purchase them separately for around $100.00 each. If you’re a gigabyte junky, naturally, you can “up” the software for an additional $40.00 and get another 2GB, providing you with free membership to the “hub” website Photoshop.com. This additional $40.00 also gives you access to the usual templates and tutorials. And while we’re talking money, annual renewal fees will set you back another $50.00. While it is never a forced issue, purchasing a membership here for this wizardry of synchronization, would be worthwhile as you may find your 2GB of memory gone in a blink of an eye!
Both Mac and Windows users will enjoy many applications including face recognition, geotagging and maping. However, the Mac version of Photoshop Elements might leave you wanting for more. Seems Mac loses out on direct upload to Facebook. Both products provide an “organizer” feature, a “smarts” feature, “motion tracking” and many other features.
As with any new product on the market, there will surely be some adjustment and tweaking of interfacing bumps along the way which will be necessary on both the software creator’s and the end user’s part.
