Hopeless with Vista. Unfortunately, despite this being a potentially fine piece of software it is ridiculously unstable. My latop is very powerful and was bought specifically for photo editing, yet with Vista 64 the program constantly crashes (around every 10 minutes) then requires a full refresh of thumbnails before it is useable again. This can take several times with a few thousand photographs, therefore taking hours for a single edit!
Come on Adobe, get this sorted!

A good application for the price. I am not very experienced with photo editing software, so bought this based on Amazon reviews, as I was looking for something I could easily use to improve my digital photos.
My first impressions are that the software is good, and relatively easy to use, but not particularly intuitive. You have to really spend a bit of time practising with this to become good at using it, it is not something you will master in five minutes. However this is relatively cheap compared to some editing software, so I cannot complain too much.
I think that as I spend more time with this programme, I will become more familiar with all it's capabilities, and from what I have seen so far, it does all of the things I need it to do, including a one touch, automatic photograph enhancer, which is very useful at times!

INFURIATING. This is perhaps the most infuriating software I've ever used. Having had problems with earlier editions, I checked out the available books and bought the top choice with the software. I wish I hadn't bothered. Photoshop crashes most times I use it, throws up all sorts of error messages, despite installing it no less than three times. When it does work, the editor takes about five minutes to load, and the whole package is to me totally counter-intuitive. I'm going straight back to Picasa.

Good. My photo editor "history" goes like this:
Elements (original - awful, slugged my PC into the ground)
PSP (very good)
PhotoImpact 12 (quite excellent)
I set out to update PhotoImpact to the latest version only to find there isn't one as Corel bought Ulead and have clearly ditched it (nutters!), leaving PSP and Elements as the two mainstream editors. So I decided to become a drone and buy Elements.
What a pleasant surprise, much better than its original version, nice interface, and not much to relearn over the previous one. The Organiser stuff is pretty much bloatware - I think you're much better just having a neat folder system of your own...

Simply fantastic. If you want to acheive fantastic results with your pictures, Photoshop Elements 6 is for you. At a fairly low price it has fantastic features for making banners, buttons, posters, collages and many more projects. It installed in no time and was easy to register. The only problem that I have is when going from my picture catalogue to the editor, it can take a little longer than expected, but it is still quite quick.
In two words - simply fantastic!
