Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 [OLD VERSION]

As the description said the CD was not boxed. Apparently it was meant as part of a software package so I don't know if it is a full version or not. I had purchased less expensive photo editing software in the past with more bells and whistles. Had heard so much about this Adobe Photo Elements that I was looking forward to having my copy. I'm not sure how much I will be using this one.

I purchased a $25 OEM version here a couple of months ago. That means it came without a manual - but that's OK as my PE1, 2 and 3 had manuals - and while some may think the Adobe manuals are fine, a good aftermarket version is much better.

I chose PE5 over 6 as there have been some PC interface problems reported plus the gray boundaries are tough to see menus. And there are only very minor changes in V6, Then, best of all, V5 was $75 cheaper!!

It's a great photo processing program, especially for those that don't need the complexity of full blown Photoshop CS3 but is taking me a while to get used to it after the earlier versions. There are some hidden items that I'm just starting to find, but have enjoyed working with it anyhow.

I don;t know a lot about video editing software, but I got this for my dad as he liked the slideshow it has that allows you to add music, plus I like the resize feature that seems to keep higher quality than other programs resizing. they look very crisp when blown up or shrinking them.

I have been using this product only a couple of weeks. So far it is very similar to elements 3.0.

This looks like a product that will help edit pictures very well. I haven't personally had time to work with it yet.
