If you have been using Adobe software for a while you will probably agree with me when I say that each new version of Adobes software always contains something new and exciting. Unfortunately many people think that newer versions make the older versions obsolete. Fortunately they do not and you can continue to use any version of the software. Unfortunately if you don?t upgrade your version to a newer version you will undoubtedly be missing out on some of the newer features.
Adobe first created the Photoshop photo editing software and it soon became evident that it needed a ?lite? version for those who only wanted photo editing capabilities without the bells and whistles that accompany Photoshop. Because of this, Photoshop Elements was created so people can easily edit their photos without needing loads of training first.
Ever since the introduction of Adobe Elements there have been more and more versions coming every year and today the latest version of Elements is Adobe Elements 7. Adobe Elements 7 is probably the smartest version of Elements ever. The reason being that Elements software has increased the number of tools making it closely resemble the more professional version of Photoshop which are now being released as the Photoshop CS versions. So with Elements 7 you will be able to edit your photos just as if you had done it professionally with the Photoshop software.
The user-interface, or desktop, is another change which makes the program more user friendly than previous versions. Now, if you are still currently using earlier versions of Adobe Elements you might be wondering what the new features include.
Included in Elements 7 is an organizer which allows you to label your images so you can easily sort and find them whenever you need them. This also enables you to be working on a variety of images simultaneously. Another new feature is the fix button. This feature gives you all of the most commonly used tools when you are editing an image. Some of the common tools you will use repeatedly include the smudge, blur and sharpen tool.
The create panel allows you to create items such as calendars, slideshows, etc. Using this feature you can take your image to the create panel and then decide on which project you would like to make. It is an incredible tool for making personalized gifts for friends and family.
For me the most impressive new feature in this new version of Adobe Elements is the share feature. As its name implies you can use this feature to share your photo album via the Internet and social networking programs such as MySpace and Facebook. You can also easily share your photos via email or copy them to a DVD/CD.
I have only touched on a few of the incredible new features available in Elements 7. You can try it out for yourself; Adobe offers a free 30 day trial period on their website.
