 Ready for a hard disk re-format? June 17, 2008

The application will not install if your mac is formatted with a case-sensitive file system. The only way to proceed is to re-format the hard disk using a case-insensitive file system and re-install everything. Now, if like me, you NEED a case-sensitive file system, then you're out of luck because there's no workaround.
So, i'm giving this product 1 star because:
a) this problem isn't mentioned anywhere in the system requirements (one has to search the internet to figure out what is wrong)
b) the file system used in a computer shouldn't be determined by a single application but by the user's needs.

I'm running this on Mac OS X (leopard) - sure it installs itself and then does nothing. If you are accustomed to the intuitive nature of Mac applications...you won't find it here. This is your worst nightmare...a Windows app running on your Mac.
It is unable to pull files from iPhoto which means (as far as I can see) you have to convert to jpg and export them to your desk top to use them. More data loss! An attempt to do access you iPhoto file generates an error message (the first I've seen on my Mac!). This also means that the vaunted organisation features of this software are useless. The online help? That's for Windows users....not a word about Mac. Search for "iPhoto" via online help and no results are found. There is nothing in the provided "Getting Started Guide" (this is more a brochure of features than any useful how to guide) about the Mac integration or iPhoto. If you are thinking...."this Adobe Photoshop software is going to be really complicate to use..." then you are spot on! It's useless.
 Great!.But one small bug. May 17, 2008

Having used P/shop CS on my laptop for a couple of years i was reluctant to buy what thought was a cut down version for my iMac.I wasn't disappointed.
Apart from the lack of quick mask(which may be hiding in there somewhere),and a slight glitch in the display when re-sizing certain files,it's near perfect for the digital photographer.Even the sharpen filter has improved hugely.
For the price,there's nothing else comes close.
Well done Adobe!.
 Most of the functionality of Photoshop. Messy installation and non-standard interface April 11, 2008

When you compare the price of Elements to that of the full Photoshop, you have to conclude that Elements is excellent value for money. Elements must have around 80% of the functionality of Photoshop for about a tenth of the price.
What you don't get are layer masks, channels, paths, colour range selection, and CMYK colour mode. However, Elements has a great set of tools for correcting colour and tone (including adjustment layers), and all the filters, brushes and selection tools that you expect. It comes with Adobe Camera Raw, which is excellent, as are the options for converting to black and white, correcting camera distortion, and previewing changes to selections. Elements supports a large range of file formats and is compatible with files made in Photoshop.
I do have some complaints - not about the features, but rather the installation and interface. Elements uses an installer which installs applications and creates folders without giving you any choice. For example, Adobe Stock Photos installs even though Adobe has discontinued this service; you have to download an uninstaller to get rid of it. My other complaint is, instead of running in a window that you can move and resize like other Mac applications, Elements fills your screen and is fixed in place. Neither am I keen on docking palettes into bins - it seems to leave less room for your images.
Elements falls short of the elegance of my other Mac applications, but has an excellent set of features.
