New Tools And Upgrades Available In Adobe Elements 7

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Most computer users are familiar with newer versions of their favorite software program coming on the market. With each new version you are usually guaranteed something new and exciting and this is certainly true with Adobe software programs. A common mistake is that older versions will no longer work and I am very glad to say that this is completely untrue. Older versions of updated software will continue to perform just as they always did. Unfortunately you will not receive any of the newer features or upgraded support elements unless you update your software.

Adobes first foray into the digitial editing arena was with Photoshop and it soon became apparent to the software developers that they also needed a ?lite? version for those who only wanted photo editing capabilities without all the bells and whistles that accompany Photoshop. Giving into this need they created Photoshop Elements which allows people to easily edit their photos without needing loads of training first.

Adobe has reworked Photoshop Elements a few times and have currently released version 7. Version 7 is without a doubt the most comprehensive update this program has undergone. The number of tools and features has increased tremendously and the programmers have included essentials to make it closely resemble the professional version of Photoshop. Now, when using Photoshop Elements, you are able to edit your photos just as if you had done it professionally with the Photoshop software.

Adobe Elements 7 is by the far the more user friendly version of all the previous versions of Elements. So what new things are in Elements 7 that are not found in the earlier versions of Elements? The following are some of the new features that you will find in Elements 7.

One of the main new features included in Elements 7 is an organizer that allows you to label your images for easy sorting and finding. The organizer also allows you to work on a variety of images simultaneously. One of my favorite new features is the fix button. The fix button combiners all of the most commonly used tools when you are editing an image. Some of these common tools you will use repeatedly include the smudge, blur and sharpen tool.

The create panel which allows you to make a calendar, slideshow and so much more. So if you wish you can take an image go to the create panel and click calendar and you can make for yourself a personalized calendar with your desired photo.

For me the most impressive feature on Adobe Elements 7 is the share feature. Using this feature you can 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.
