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.
