Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 : same price & same features
This sophisticated image editing application doesn’t offers anything too exciting to the old, but those few new modes might attract the beginners
There are numerous image editing applications who promote themselves as a competitors of Photoshop’s features and most of them fail doing so. Adobe’s Photoshop Elements 6 which adds the beginner-focused features which we are already familiar in softwares like Paintshop Pro!, this might result in some new buyers for adobe but this group would be just the beginners looking to ” Pimp up images easiest way “, anyone else having experience with old version wont find anything New in it.
The Similarities !
And wait the price too is same! Corel Paint shop and adobe are shipping at same price of dollar 100. Both of them added one click editing modes, called as Express Lab in Corel and Guided Editing in Adobe’s Elements 6.While Elements defeats Corel if we count the features an their usability as it powered by big bother Photoshop :P, but something i was really uncomfortable was Before and after view option, that means to live preview at background but two different pans at left and right, of before and after of the Effect.
Elements’ Guided Editing lets the user edit multiple images at a time unlike the express lab: you just have to select a fix after highlighting as many images as you want. However, if you don’t like your work effects even in a single image you will have to undo all.
You can choose Full Editing if you don’t find Guided Editing sufficiently powerful, as it gives you all of the application’s tools with no hand-holding like in guided editing. And there is option of quick editing available for those who don’t find guided or full editing sufficiently powerful quick editing has four general editing areas that overlap with features from the other modes. I think the multiple modes add to the clutter whereas Adobe says the revised interface is “streamlined”.
Adobe has added the Quick Selection tool it first made available in Photoshop CS3 to Elements 6; the tool can make creating a selection (a roped-off section of an image to which fixes are limited) pretty easy, but since it has no sensitivity (tolerance) setting, it turns out to be useless on some images. Looking at the positive side, I loved the Refine Edge feature in Photoshop CS3, too. It isn’t quite as sophisticated as CS3’s; it saves your time to handle the pixels so it does a fantastic job of cleaning up the edges of selections.
