DESCRIPTION
Photoshop Elements 8 is the perfect complement to iPhoto for consumers who want to go beyond the basics and tell amazing stories with their photos. The software is loaded with new options to make extraordinary photos with ease. For media management, Mac users have access to all the features in Adobe Bridge CS4 software, which provides quick organization with a custom viewing workspace and full-screen preview with one-click close-ups. Keyword tags and a variety of search options also make it easy to find photos quickly.
Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac now includes all of the intelligent photo-editing options as the Windows version. In addition to Photomerge Exposure, Recompose and Quick Fix previews, Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac features Scene Cleaner for brushing away unwanted elements, such as tourists or cars, from a series of photos to create the perfect scene. The Smart Brush helps users apply incredible effects to a specific area of a photo with a single stroke and Touch-Up brushes make common editing tasks quick, such as whitening teeth or making bright blue skies. When creations are ready to be shared with family and friends, users can display their photos on the Web with gallery templates or personal Web pages, by e-mail and on CD or DVD.

HARRY MACBETH Doubtful that I'll bother with this dreadful company any more. No wonder they are haemorrhaging customers. With no upgrade paths for new customers, and astonishingly poor customer service, there are compelling reasons for Mac fans to cut this shiny, but ultimately rotten bait. Fool me once, Adobe: shame on you. Fool me twice: shame on ME....

HMFWIC After installing APE 8 on my Mac, I double-clicked on the app icon and got an error message. Did a restart, reopened it and got the same message. Had to call Customer Support who sent me to Tech Support. The error code listed was, I believe 150:30. Did what they said and it started up like it should.

SNAPPIR couldn't resist to post my reply to all the ugly comments for PE. Those who say that PE is "not friendly", have never used it, and never tried to learn a little. It's easy, super friendly and loaded with more features than any other photo editing program for MAC. True, it's heavy and slow to open. Yes, 3 minutes is slow. But at that time you can do something else, check your email, or browse... The moment it opens - normal speed and no problem at all. Pixelmator is a smooth looking program, but lacks a lot of essential features. One of them Shadows/Highlights, which is for me one of the most essential features when I open a photo.And it's not even close to PE. Those who couldn't install this version, rushed and probably did something wrong in one of the steps. I would suggest, go to adobe website and try to download there. And read and write down the instructions - important!!!

JOSH C. I have to start by saying that I have always enjoyed working with Photoshop Elements. My problem is, that I am simply tired of having to upgrade in order for any of the bugs I have come across to be squashed. Why do they consistently refuse to release any kind of incremental update, are we not paying enough for their products, don't we deserve some kind of support? What if your soul purpose for purchasing one of their products didn't work, wouldn't you be a little bitter too? Maybe we should skip 8 and upgrade to 10 in a couple of years so we get a stable 8. Ut oh! 10 has bugs too, son of a biscuit!

ARCHAEOGEEK Considering the well known history of bugginess of adobe applications, I seriously wonder who, exactly, you are after reading your string of comments regarding PSE and Adobe apps in general, and maybe a bit who is your master.

what are you talking about...???!!! iPhoto is not an editing software, it only has a few editing features, 0.001% of PE. Kodak...??? again, it is not for editing, no editing there, NOTHING!... printing only. PE was and remains #1 best light photo editor.

ILGAZ iPhoto is a great photo catalog/database and putting its functions to Photoshop Elements is not an upgrade.

"Those who couldn't install this version, rushed and probably did something wrong in one of the steps. I would suggest, go to adobe website and try to download there. And read and write down the instructions - important!!!" That is utter garbage. I did nothing wrong at all. Followed the instructions carefully. But it refused to install. This morning I went out and BOUGHT the DVD. STILL it refuses to install. This product is a bloody lemon. BEWARE !!!!

NOTAFOOL Have a read of http://forums.adobe.com/thread/508211?tstart=0 You will see that others are having the same installation problems, or similar, as myself. The installer, as I have said before, is a damn kemon. And Adobe itself plainly doesn't know what to do about it.

NOTAFOOL I downloaded the Trial Version of PSE 8 and tried to install it. After never-ending installation failures and further attempts to install it, I trashed the whole application in disgust. Not at all impressed Adobe : - ((

ILGAZ After 5 "resellers" of Adobe tried to sell me Photoshop CS4 (!!!) while I clearly asked the price of Elements and 10 of them ignored me, I simply rm'ed the Trial disk image after running its Uninstall and moved to Pixelmator too. At least guy(s) cares for their product and their users.

ILGAZ So they added a single feature and abandoned all powerpc users and asking for $80. While it is not widely known for some reason, you don't have to abandon any powerPC user for "intel 64bit", you can even release full 64bit PPC/Intel application on 10.5 leopard. IMHO time is coming for shareholders to take action against this kind of management.

MISHA Where do you see that they only added a "single" feature?
(Version 8.0) | |
| Oct 19 2009 |
ILGAZ @MISHA this is OS X, iPhoto can do all the stuff it does in regards to Library. IMHO there is absolutely zero need to duplicate Photo library of iPhoto. If it was the case, I would go for Kodak's free software which does great job in regards to Print and online sharing. One feature I mention is "group photo". Now, that is a new feature but did they have to abandon PPC users for that single feature? This is the same company shipping Flash 10 with same features to PPC owners.
