1 out of 5 stars Don't buy it if you are running Windows 7   September 3, 2010
cpaattorney
If your computer is using Windows 7, don't buy Photoshop Elements 8. The system requirements says that it is compatible with Windows 7 but that is a lie. It will not operate properly. On my computer, the editor will not load which pretty much defeats the whole purpose for buying the program. It does run on my computer with Vista, but the computer with Windows 7 has all my photos. Either Adobe knowlingly released PSE8 with this defect just so they could get it to market or they have a pathetic quality control function. Adobe refuses to address the compatibility issues with PSE8 and Windows 7. Oh yeah, they put out some assinine set of possible troubleshooting procedures that are absolutely useless to the average user. They have no credibility with me. DON'T BUY IT!!!! until they offer a suitable update.


5 out of 5 stars Photoshop Elements 8 is great!   September 1, 2010
Oklee
What a fun product to use with my photos! Easy to use and the results are fantastic.


5 out of 5 stars Great price with rebates   August 31, 2010
M. V. Damiano
I have thought about buying this a couple times, but never did. The Amazon deal of the day and the rebate made it such a low cost I had to finally get it. Haven't used it much, but I have a great need for video and photo editing since I have a Nikon SLR and a Sony HD camcorder. Lack of use is not the software, but the time I don't have to apply to creating DVDs and albums of all the photos and video.


2 out of 5 stars Resource Hog   August 30, 2010
Chuck (Virginia Beach, VA USA)
The Organizer software does what is advertised but I have to wait thrity minutes for the "agent program" to finish updating the catalog everytime I open the catalog. The agent program runs in the background and uses 10 to 40 percent of the CPU resources even when the Organizer program is not being run. This slows the computer down to a crawl for everything. The editor program is nice but alone is not worth the price of the program. Sell it for half price as a image editor that comes with a near worthless photo organizer if you have more than a 1000 photos.


4 out of 5 stars Great Photo Editor   August 27, 2010
Srivatsa (San Jose, CA)
This is my first serious photo edition software. I used to play with picasa before. After using this for few months now, I like it. I have been using the editor a lot to make tonal changes to the photos and make it look much better. Its a great editor to start with. I wouldn't say its easy to use at first, but you can learn to use it properly pretty quickly with some help from books. Highly recommend this software especially for beginners.
