Arranged Delirium

Adobe has finally released an update for the Mac version of Photoshop Elements. Version 8 is now shipping and provides a nicely affordable way to edit imagery. You can find a review of the software at Macworld.

Photoshop is simply too expensive - even with an educational discount it’s over $200. Elements has 90% of the features for less than $80 (even lower with the educational discount). Additionally, the auto adjusting toolset of Elements makes it a more easy-to-use product for folks that just want to re-touch their images quickly, and not compose new works of art. It’s supposed to be shipping now, but they’ve missed the date; nonetheless I’d expect it to ship this month. This is a great tool for image editing on Windows as well as Mac, so If you are looking for an inexpensive but good image editing tool regardless of platform: this is it.
