With unbeatable fl exibility in processing images, Adobe Photoshop can be considered as the single all-purpose photo editor for professionals. Be it the the fl exibility of working with layers, the ability to work with different formats of images, or the excellent RAW processing features with Camera RAW plug-in, Photoshop clearly enjoys a special status with professional photographers. An irritant, though, in the Photoshop family has always been the high price, which denied amateurs of all the goodies. But much to the relief of the amateurs, Adobe maintains a lighter, simpler, and yet feature-packed version called Photoshop Elements.Photoshop Elements 8, the latest from the Elements family, has several improvements including, but not limited to Windows 7 support, a feature-packed Organizer, and better automation features.
