A Preview of Photoshop Elements 7
Adobe’s laying on the Web subscription message thick in the newest versions of Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements. For example the Welcome screen, which is your first encounter with either one of the applications, has completely changed. The standard options of Organize, Edit, Create, and Share get relegated to a task bar that’s somewhat unremarkable compared to the large, rotating slide show heralding the many benefits of the free and $49.99 Plus memberships for Photoshop.com (20GB-plus of storage space, remote backup, and project templates). It’s honestly couldn’t be any more annoying than those pop-up ads you get when your browser is infecte4d. It is really a shame since Photoshop Elements is a great middle of the road photo editor; regrettably all of these bells and whistles detract from the foundation that made it so popular.
