 Does not convert catalog's from previous versions October 31, 2007
25 out of 28 found this review helpful
I've been using Adobe PhotoAlbum for 3 years, been very happy. Decided to upgrade and it wouldn't do the catalog conversion. I even tried downloading an earlier version of photoshop elements, and was able to convert to that but not the 6.0 version.
Researched and lots of folks having this same problem. It's a new database structure for 6.0 versus all prevous versions, and seems to be very fragile. I don't understand why they wouldn't do extensive testing with their own previous product lines. I have 15,000 photo's and video's tagged in my catalog, and it's not acceptable that this new version of adobe software can't import correctly the adobe catalogs from software written only 3 years ago.
I put in this issues with their tech team, but have not gotten a response. I am resigned to return to Amazon the PSE 6.0. Maybe I'll buy a 5.0 version instead.

Photoshop Elements 6 is very easy to use. In fact, it is easier to download photos from my camera with Photoshop than using the software that came with the camera.
The program has lots of advanced features as well, but anyone should be able to do simple tasks like downloading photos, cropping, and setting print areas almost immediately.

As of this date, I have not had a chance to use it because I found out that it is not compatible with Kodak Photo Gallery where almost all my photos were downloaded automatically from my digital camera. Hopefully, somebody out there can give me some advice on what to do. I've used the 5.0 Elements at school and it was fun to use.
 OK But still confusing. October 30, 2007

I have used many so called graphics programs over the years, from Highly complex to simple. I am now at the point where I want functionality but not at the expense of simplicity. This product may have many features but they are not readily available nor explained very well. The only way you will know what it is capable of is by digging. Do a search for Photomerge, (which is mentioned many times) and get nothing. No written manual - online everything and very little explanation (or clear explanation, you can purchase some training if you like). It feels as though you are running multiple programs that are some how disjointed. I just did not feel that it was very intuitive and the controls were confusing - unless maybe you are a Photoshop junky - but this program is supposed to be for people who dont want all the confusion ! I just did not find it very user friendly. It may include everything but the kitchen sink - but it is not explained very well.
I have an Intel Quad CPU and an Nvidia 8800GTX OC w/over 700 meg of memory on the video card and 4 meg of on board Ram with Windows XP sp2 and a Dell 24" LCD monitor. - I found the program sluggish and just downright slow.
Corel Photo Album 6 by the way, is very fast and has a very good organizer with intuitive controls. Editing is lacking but sufficient for most tasks - Paintshop pro 11 does the rest if the Album cannot fix it. I believe Corel has Changed the name of the program with the album to Media Studio or something like that.
I have to say after using the product for a while and becoming familiar with it my opinion has changed. I highly recommend it.
I am figuring Elements out bit by bit - but it is not what I expected. I have had a couple of crazy things happen with thumbnails - do not remember exactly - thought it was just me - but may be a glitch.
Overall, it's great software October 24, 2007

I didn't give it 5 stars because I know it's not perfect. But with that said, I love the program. After using trial versions of several image-editing programs, I decided on Elements 6.0 because I will eventually purchase Photoshop Lightroom and thought they would integrate well together. I also didn't want to pay the price for Photoshop CS3. I am still learning Elements, but so far I have not been disappointed.
The program works flawlessly--no glitches, hangs, crashes, or bugs. I'm running it on my 2-year-old laptop, which has Windows XP SP2, Intel Celeron M processor (1.5 GHz), and 2 GB RAM. (I don't know what my video card is; whatever came with the computer.) I would have to agree with another reviewer who said that any problems people experience with Elements 6.0 is most likely due to insufficient RAM and processor speed.
I highly recommend this program, and I look forward to learning more of its nuances.
