I am enjoying the new software, I think it is going to be just what I was looking for. As always, good price and fast shipping from Amazon.

This looks like a good program, but not for beginners. I'm pretty good with software but I've still not learned how to email my pictures yet. Hopefully once I've learned it, I will like it. Appears that it does a lot - but you won't be leaning it overnight.

To the person who says it take too long to open a 8 meg file, I just opened a 15.1 meg raw file in less than 5 seconds. To the person who can't edit in 16 bit mode, I do all my editing in 16 bit mode (most of the time converted RAW to TIF, but sometime actually with a RAW photo.
I'm running a two-year old HP laptop with a 2 gig processor and 2 gig RAM, so I'm not sure why you cannot run 16 bit or why it takes too long to open a file.
I find this program great for doing minor edits to photos. I basically use PSE6 for minor color cast revision due to scanning where the scanner adds a slight color cast, for minor sharpening, for resizing and for printing.
I find it is a great software; especially for the price.

So far still on the learning curve [newbie] but as far i can tell I like this editing program
Great for editing, but Picasa still rules as a photo organizer January 10, 2008

I am an amateur photographer and a casual Photoshop Elements user. I have done minimal touch-ups since acquiring Elements several weeks ago. However, I have used it enough to know that Google's free Picasa program still rules for photo organization. I appreciate Elements auto-add feature that recognizes when I insert the memory card from my dslr and allows me to create and name folders and subfolders, and rename/number my pictures in various formats.
However, when viewing the photos, it displays them all by date and time taken. It does not divide the photos by subfolders (you must manually create albums). If you want to find a picture, say taken during Christmas 2006, the user must either scroll through the hundreds (or thousands) of photos, or use the search function and adjust the parameters of the search manually. In Picasa, there is a list of folders on the left separated by year and organized by date. Just go to 2006 and find "Christmas" at the end, just before 2007. I.e., no need to scroll or enter search terms.
Also, displaying the photos by date and time taken will combine ALL the photos. This is not a problem until there are photos from multiple photographers (i.e., photos from both my dslr and my wife's point-and-shoot, or shared photos of the same event). Then they appear disjointed, instead of User A's photos, then User B's photos, et cetera. There may be a way around this, but I haven't found it (though I haven't really looked).
For my personal use I import and file my photos through Elements's auto-add feature, then open Picasa and let it auto-organize for more user-friendly viewing. When I start editing, I go back to Elements and its superb interface and user controls.
Overall, Photoshop Elements is a great product and a reasonable value. It offers exceptional photo editing capabilities including the most useful features from the full version of Photoshop. However, they need to take a few cues from google and improve the functionality of their organization feature.
NOTE: Picasa also provides basic, easy-to-use editing tools. If you just want to crop, minimize red-eye, et cetera, try http://picassa.google.com (its FREE!) before you spend money on editing software.
