In addition to Photoshop 6.0’s basic tools, Elements contains high-end features such as the History palette (making Photoshop LE’s single undo seem like a bad dream), adjustment layers, dialog-box-free text input, the Warp Text and Liquify commands, GIF animations, and all 99 effects filters. RGB AcresĪdobe isn’t quite giving away the farm with Photoshop Elements, but it’s certainly being generous with the acreage. Priced at only $99, Photoshop Elements combines an astonishing amount of Photoshop 6.0’s power with helpful, nonintrusive guidance. With its recent reworking of the old Photoshop LE, Adobe takes the Eraser tool to those obstacles. So why doesn’t everybody use it? Two reasons: the cost ($609) and the learning curve (lengthy).
Adobe Photoshop has long been heralded as the unchallenged champion of image editing.
