This isn't a fast process, especially if you're shooting RAW with large files - 128 total images took about 25 minutes on my system, so if you're running through thousands of files, I'd recommend starting this up and letting it run overnight.
New to Organizer is the Auto-Analysis feature for finding images with faces. The Organizer is laid out like previous versions, and if you're importing images or video that already have metadata assigned, Organizer will recognize that and import it if you choose (Figure 3). Starting up Elements, you'll notice the tighter integration with Adobe's online service, (Figure 1).įrom this startup screen, you can elect to go into the Organizer, or straight to the editor. And, in a nice step from Adobe, the Macintosh version of Elements is also now available in version 8 (Premiere Elements is still a Windows only product). If you also do video editing, Elements is available in a package with Premiere Elements. Photoshop Elements is now available in two versions - the standard version, which includes 2GB of online storage at and the Plus version (US only) that ups your storage space to 20GB and provides extensive tutorials, extra artwork, and access to new template designs. You can open images into Elements or another selected application. Organizer seamlessly integrates photos, video, and audio into a single browsing application to make it easier to track all your digital assets. Enhanced features include a revamped Organizer and more powerful auto adjustments for images. With this release, Adobe adds HDR processing with Photomerge Exposure, recomposing with a new Recompose tool, face recognition options in Organizer with Auto-Analyzer and People Recognition, touch support in Windows 7, and automatic syncing of photo and video files between computers. While that may be true of some software categories, in photo editing, it seems there's always something new to bring to the table, and Elements 8 is no exception.
What's Newīy version 8, you'd expect that most of the features that would be added to an application would already be there. As usual, Adobe has increased the functionality of the program while keeping a very similar look and feel that is easier to navigate, and normally easier to accomplish your goals. Here we are in 2009 with the latest release, version 8. Like clockwork, you can count on seeing a new version of Photoshop Elements, the simplified sibling of Photoshop CS, every 12-18 months.
