PS 6 Mac is finally here..., 2008-05-11
and it was worth the wait.
The program does have a couple things you need to know. First, if you are having trouble with your old plug-ins not loading you will either need to upgrade them or launch PS6 under Rosetta. (select PS6 and get info for the activation box)
Next, running natively on an 2.8 GHz Intel iMac the program is wickedly fast. Amazingly fast. I can't say as I really care for the UI but it doesn't take long to get used to it. I miss a few features from Photoshop like LAB color and Soft Proofing but these are minor quibbles.
All-in-all, this is a fine program that seems to do 80%-90% of what the full Photoshop CS3 does for a tenth the price. A great tool for the photographer.
Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac, 2008-05-08
A great product. I am not a professional photographer and this does all I need.

 Adobe confusion, 2008-05-05
I find the product too complicated. It would have been better without Bridges and less difficult to navigate. Get an earlier version of Adobe.

very complicated to learn for a beginner, 2008-04-28
I am sure this is a great program for experienced users, but for a beginner, even with help from Photoshop Elements 6 for mac: the Missing manual, its difficult to learn. But, i'll keep trying since I have invested quite a bit of money and time in it.
It says on the cover that it is compatible with Iphoto, but you have to do a work-around to accomplish that. When I purchased this I relied on that declaration. I thought I would be able to go directly into Elements from IPhoto. That is not so. The advertising is not truthful. I called Photoshop to get help and received it from a very patient person.

 Excellent App, 2008-04-14
I have only spent a few hours with this product, but from what I've already seen it is VASTLY improved over the old 4.0 version. Now that it is a universal binary, the app performs very well and is no longer something I dread to have to open.
Adobe even made some interesting Mac features such as allowing us to have our toolbars float instead of being fixed into a frame (as an option--you can still use the default settings however). While this isn't exactly how I would like to see the menu bars function, it is much closer to what I want and is a nice touch, showing that Adobe realizes that Mac users tend to want to see and use things a bit differently than PC users do, and that they care enough about us to accommodate our preferences. I really like how easy it is to get a description of any filter or effect from the included help since it does a good job of explaining just what it is doing to the image instead of you having to play with it for a while to understand it's behavior (a genuinely useful help tool, never thought I'd see the day). Another really cool feature is the ability to search for filters using a spotlight-like tool that will show where and in which menu the item you're looking for is. This feature is simply brilliant, and a welcomed addition.
There are many other improvements to this app, but I'm mostly impressed with how Adobe has taken the time, energy and resources to take advantage of some of the great features of OSX Leopard. Most software companies these days do lousy ports of their PC software without taking the time to understand the needs and preferences of the Mac community. I am grateful that Adobe "gets it" and hope to see them continue this trend in their Mac products into the future. Oh, and the value is unbeatable- I for one would have been willing to pay much more for this app. Thanks Adobe for a much needed and improved update!
