Cynic reviewed on 24 Nov 2013
One of the worst pieces of software I have EVER tried to use. As I have used PS CS5 in the past and not keen on buying Creative Cloud I made the mistake of buying this, having used an ancient version. What a piece of $%h&!. Frequent errors - corrupt catalogs that can't be repaired (and I have just started to use it - catalogs are corrupt already - seriously!!), can't apply names using face recognition, often won't let me apply ratings or move items to an album because some mysterious process is 'busy'. I could go on but having tried many different photo organizing software and editing software this is easily the worst - not to mention the 1990's PC user interface.
Stay away, far away.

Still available in only three languages for the Mac, but a lot more for Windoze - guess they got their priorities a bit off these days ... .

To answer my own question: yes, it is... almost to the day exactly one year between PSE 11 and PSE 12.

It's not worth it to upgrade from version 9. I did not see any differences.

Here's a list of the biggest new features in 11: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements/features._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_featuredisplaytypes_sl_new.html

There's also an entire photo management app (Photoshop Elements Organizer), so it's not just for editing anymore.

I have to say I like it, despite the adobe thing and all that. Been using for years, tried others, but for purely editing personal photos, either scanned from 100 years ago or taken last week, the program does what I need it to do though sometimes I got to mess around to get things looking OK (enough memory for undos make this not so bad). Can't compare with other programs much as I've stuck with this, despite upgrade fees. Don't think I'd use it to make a graphic from scratch and don't use it for importing photos/scans, but it's name doesn't imply those tasks. Rate today as I'm scanning whole heap of old photos taken out of storage.

I can't find any references.

Does Photoshop Elements export to cmyk and grey scale?

Version 10, at least, only does RGB, Indexed, grey scale and bitmap images modes. No CMYK.

CMYK color mode is one of the features/functions that Adobe usually reserves for the "full" version of Photoshop. If you really need CMYK, you're probably a pro in some way and could be better off using Photoshop.

I'm not sure how many Photoshop Elements buyers are really interested in animated GIFs...

Honestly I have two freeware animated GIF apps, I've never launched either one of them. Animated GIFs are not at the core of Photoshop/Elements users needs.

If only Graphic Converter, Pixelmator, or Acorn could use plugins/filters I could kiss Photoshop/Elements goodbye.

Did somebody know, is this version of PSE for Mac compatible with non-English primary language or it has the same bug as the previous version (PSE 8)?

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 : - ((
