Some notes from an iPhoto user,
I installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my 2.8 GHz i7 iMac, running System 10.6.8. Since many reviewers of the boxed version have thoroughly discussed the features of Photoshop Elements already, I am focusing this review on my experiences with using PSE in conjunction with Apple iPhoto.
Background
*My main camera is a 7-year old “prosumer” Nikon. Back when my camera was new, digital SLR’s were primarily targeted to professionals and compact digital cameras had extremely limited functionality. Even though prosumer cameras aren’t a significant presence in today’s digital camera market, these cameras still produce better images than most current compacts due to their relatively large image sensors.
*I also have a collection of images that were scanned from 35mm film prints. Many of these pix have faded colors as well as digital artifacts from the scanning process.
My review perspective
*I use iPhoto as my main photo repository and for simple tasks such as cropping, straightening, and basic exposure adjustments. I want to use Photoshop Elements to do things that are beyond iPhoto’s capabilities, including correcting lens distortion on wide-angle shots, cleaning up and enhancing scanned photos, and making extensive alterations to images (such as removing an unwanted bystander from an architectural shot or blurring a distracting background).
Installation
*Total installation time was about 25 minutes. Download time, of course, will vary for each user. If you have a slow Internet connection, you should consider buying the boxed version.
*Users of Little Snitch (a network security utility) need to approve connections to Adobe servers at several points during the installation process.
User experience
*Photoshop Elements is a feature-laden and complex application. As a result, it has a steep learning curve, especially for Mac users. Much of the user interface is un-Mac like. It takes some time to become accustomed to how the program functions.
*Fortunately, the Help system is extensive and includes many step-by-step guides.
*Once you become comfortable using the program, it’s a powerful tool for editing and manipulating photographs. In many ways, Photoshop has transformed photography. Now, instead of worrying about exposure, composition, and everything else when you’re out shooting, all you need to do is get a halfway decent image of your subject. It’s now possible to manipulate pretty much every aspect of a picture in post-processing as long as you have an in-focus image and sufficient pixels to work with.
*The program does everything I wanted it to do initially and, even better, has opened up many new ways to be creative with my photos. The extensive collection of effects, filters, advanced exposure controls, and editing tools has reignited my interest in photography.
Bottom line
*Photoshop Elements is an outstanding application for photographers who need more advanced tools than iPhoto provides. The only real downside for Mac users is that Photoshop Elements is time consuming to learn and requires regular use to maintain one’s skills. Four stars.

Adobe PSE 10,
This new version is amazing! I’ve been using Photoshop Elements since the first version. I’ve bought or upgraded to most of the upgrades. Some weren’t available for the Mac. So, I just upgraded from PSE 9 to PSE 10 and it is a fantastic program. It i does almost everything you can do in Adobe Photoshop CS 5.

Another Purchase,
Perhaps, I am not the one to review this product? I purchase every Adobe Elements update and at this point I have more features in this product then in the first Adobe Photoshop I purchased during the first reign of the Egyptian pharaohs. It is an amazing photo processing program. Easier to maneuver on a PC then a MAC, but still a great program.
