5 Stars Great product
I have been using an old version of photoshop but with the purchase of a new Vista PC I was forced to purchase Elements. I’m glad I did.

1 Star Horrible-I am removing till there is a fix if ever.
Incredibly useless! had to buy it to work with Vista 64bit as 5 won’t work. 7 will import the catalog but will not associate any of the pictures with the catalog- It can find the pictures but then you have to redo your entire catalog - this abominable software will cost me 30 hours to redo my catalog not to mention the 3 days spent trying to get the software to recognize my old catalog- this is a nightmare! Even MS OUTLOOK with several email and excange accounts to switch over was a piece of cake compared to this disaster of a program. have no Idea if the software edits photos well- can’t get that far. I enjoyed PSE5 but this new 7 is garbage- I’m half tempted to go with the windows software that came with the computer so I don’t have to ever go through this nightmare again. incedentally; support? or pertinent information?…non-existent.

5 Stars Fantastic Program for Amateurs
I love redoing old photo’s and this is just the program I needed. The best part is of course the new brush; Spot Healing Tool. I do a lot of taking people out of photos and inserting them into a new background, and this is a much better program than the one I had; Photoshop 6.0.

I would defiantly recomend this program to anyone that loves to work with photos.

4 Stars Adobe Photoshop Elements 7
I really have enjoyed using Photoshop and it arrived in a timely fashion. I was disappointed that the ad promised a $20 rebate, but when I received the item I realized that I did not qualify for it, so I paid $20 more than I expected to pay.

4 Stars My First Adobe Photo Editing Software
This was my first time using Adobe Photoshop Elements, as I am typically a Corel user. This is excellent for those professional shots, unlike with Paint Shop Pro. I haven’t been a huge fan of Photoshop, probably because it was a little intimidating, but I do love Elements. It’s a great program with everything necessary to do my edits. Nice!

I guess I just don’t get it, I don’t see why you need this if you use CS3 or CS4 with Bridge. It’s just a different workflow. I actually find the fact that edits made in lightroom dictate certain options not being available in CS4 (mainly save as JPEG comes to mind) very annoying. I have pretty much ditched this thing and use CS4 and Bridge together. I know I must be missing something because alot of photographers swear by this tool.

5 Stars Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Upgrade
So far I really enjoy using this program. I was currently using only the program that came with my camera (Digital Photo Professional) from Canon. I feel I have much more control using Lightroom 2. Looking forward to finding a good tutorial book or tape on Lightroom 2 to help me further my skills and to help me take advantage of the complete program.

5 Stars Excellent Product
I bought Lightroom mainly to help me organize pictures and to touch pictures up before printing and framing. LR did not let me down in those respects. LR is very flexible, providing the functionality for you, but allowing you to customize it to fit your own work flow.

I organized over 8000 photos that had no organization prior to this in only a few hours time. LR automatically sorted the photos for me into the folder arrangement I wanted. So, those few hours were spent tagging the 8000 photos with people, subjects and locations. LR made the process very easy.

From a photo touch-up perspective, LR’s capabilities are unparalleled. Non-destructive edits, local edits and tweaks for every last thing you could want to tweak in a photo, make it easy for amateurs to get great looking photos.

It is good software ,however it does not go far enough.As a prepress professional I would like to see a ruler in the develop module,also there is no provision to “dim” your photo it’s all scale to fit which I believe simply resamples thereby losing quality.I now go directly to photoshop dim to size I want then return to Lightroom to

continue. I need to have specific sizes so I don’t spend a fortune at a framing shop buying custom matts and or frames.For example 8 x 12 frames can be bought premade inexpensively 13 x 19 can’t.Or put an 8×12 photo in 11×14 frame.Staying with traditional sizes to save money.I also don’t like to crop, as a photographer you should compose using the entire format if possible for maximun quality.

5 Stars Great Upgrade!
Adobe Lightroom 2 is a great upgrade. Don’t even think about hesitating to get this product if you have version 1!
