Adobe Photoshop Elements 8: New features tour

By Lori Grunin on 24 September 2009

Photoshop Elements essentially comprises of a couple of programs designed to make it easy — and fun — for home users to organise, correct, enhance and generally get the best out of their digital photo collection. A powerful browser utility, the Elements Organizer, helps you preview and sort out your pictures and other media files, while the main Photoshop Elements program is used for handling the editing work.

Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE 8) is available now for AU$165 (upgrade AU$125). You can also get it bundled with Premiere Elements 8 for AU$245. Let's take a look at the new features.

Both PSE 8 and Premiere Elements 8 include an updated version of the Organizer which supports people- and geotagging as well as some non-photo file formats. As usual, the editor itself includes some features trickled down from Photoshop CS4, like Photomerge Exposure, which combines multiple similar source images for optimal exposure; Content-Aware Scaling, here dubbed "Recompose", which drops unwanted objects out of photos as you scale down; and Quick Fix previews for less parametric and more visually-based photo editing.
