 Avoid this release!, 2007-12-21
I have been using Photoshop Elements since the first release and have upgraded immediately as each new release came out. This is first time I have regretted it.
This release is buggy and slow. The hourglass icon is active at least half of the time. Screen refresh is seriously broken- I get artifacts all over the PE window. It acts like its running on a 386, rather than a nearly new high-end dual-core machine. It's crashed a dozen times.
A few things are better- it does import new pictures much quicker.
The User Interface is all new- for no particular reason- and difficult to navigate. I could deal with that ... if there weren't so many bugs ... and the simply unreal lagtime in doing anything ... anything!
I uninstalled and reverted to PE 5, which runs great. And am eyeing the similar Corel app. Guess I will consider it a $100 lesson to check the reviews first before upgrading..

 Photo Software, 2007-12-21
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 software is OK, but it was difficult to use, and results were not what I expected. The software could be great for someone with more akills then the average photo person. So many options in the software, made the software too difficult, to just adjust a photo. I use the MS Picture-It software. MS software is alot easier for me, to do simple adjustments.Adobe Photoshop Elements 6

Sadly, do not recommend this version, 2007-12-20
As a long-time user of PSE, currently version 3, I was very much looking forward to upgrading to this version. It looked great, and had a lot of great features. I downloaded the tryout version, which is exactly the same as the regular version...you just pay for a serial number.
At first, I was happy...I experienced none of the issues others found. I was able to successfully import all the photos and tags from version 3 into the new version. I imported new photos okay, and it automatically took care of red eye. I liked the fact that several of the most common functions, like cropping and red eye removal, are right in the Organizer now...no need to go to the editors to do that if you don't have to.
I went to try out the slide show feature. I added pans, fades from one photo to another, and a soundtrack...to 22 pictures. The interface was fairly easy to use, and the end result looked good. The problem came when I went to export it. The 2 main options are to PDF (then you lose all moving effects) or WMV file. I tried the latter several times...it kept stopping when it got to 98% complete. I tried taking out the soundtrack...still no luck. Couldn't find resolution on help forums.
Another thing I tried was to email 2 photos directly from the Organizer. Version 3 made it easy...just exported them to a file to attach to your email program. This version forces you to use an Adobe email system, which needs to send you an email to verify the connection. I received a code to enter on a screen....only thing was, when I received the code, I couldn't type it into the area where the code was required!
The 3rd bug I found was when trying to select all things matching one tag. I selected one tag, I found other photos not matching that tag come back, those with symbols that indicated "no match." It made no sense to me.
The upshot: I uninstalled version 6 and will not buy it...it doesn't work properly. I do not have Vista...I have Windows XP SP2. I would not recommend this version, based on my experiences and having read several of others. Too bad...I really wanted to use this.

 Powerful and easy to use, 2007-12-20
I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 6 after downloading a trial version from Adobe. Prior to this I had been using Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006 which worked well, but this provides so much more. I haven't had any issues with it at all. Unlike some reviewers, I actually prefer the gray background.
Elements can do most things that the average consumer would need so unless you need something specific that the full version offers, Elements should have you covered. If you're unsure whether you'll like it or not, you can download a 30 day trial version from Adobe.

 Photoshop Elements 6 - fatally flawed, 2007-12-19
No matter how much better this product is than previous versions it is almost unusable due to the color scheme they have chosen. I am sure some young programmer thought shades of black and gray with white (and gray) lettering would look cool and more modern. I am sitting here looking at a photo with a medium gray title bar and light gray lettering. You have to be kidding me. It is as if the program spent some time in a coal mine and needs to be pressure washed. Hopefully they will be offering some options for color schemes - real soon. As far as I can tell it is not possible to change that. I am seriously thinking uninstalling it and going with a previous version.
